This isn't by any means accurate, its simply my top 10 list and I welcome you to share your top 10 list as well, and comment on mine.

Rashad Evans has developed into one of the leagues premier fighters. He won TUF 2 Finale as a Heavyweight but moved down a weight class that better suites his physical stature. He acquired the UFC Light Heavyweight Championship from season 1 TUF winner Forest Griffen.

Josh Koshcek Although Koscheck didn't win season one of TUF he has risen as one of the leagues superstars fighting for the welterweight championship in UFC 124 he came up short against champion GSP.

Forest Griffen Light Heavyweight season 1 winner, Forest Griffen was 1 half of the greatest UFC fight to every take place in history of this sport, he claimed the Light Heavyweight title against Rampage jackson at UFC 86.

Diego Sanchez won TUF season 1 as a middle weight against Kenny Florian, he has established himself as one of the more exciting fighters to watch. He got a chance to fight for the Lightweight Championship against BJ Penn at UFC 107 the result was a doctor stoppage due to a bad cut.

Gray Maynard Really controversial TUF Finale Gray Maynard knocked him self out slamming Robert Emerson down, Robert tapped due to the pain but Gray was clearly knocked out on top of him. Gray got a chance to fight for the Light Weight championship against Frankie Edgar on new years of 2011 but the fight resulted in a draw.

Michael Bisping won TUF season 3 as a Light Heavyweight and later moved down to middle weight were it suites him better. So far Bisping has proven himself to be one of the sturdiest fighters in the middle weight division.

Matt Hamill Although Matt Hamill did not win his season of the ultimate fighter he has proven to be a tough fight for anyone he goes up against. Matt Hamill continues to win fights inching closer and closer to a shot at the UFC Light Heavyweight Championship.

Kenny FlorianCame up short during his fight at the TUF Finale season 1 against Diego Sanchez, since then he's made his mark in the Light Weight division coming up short in his chance for UFC gold against BJ Penn at UFC 101

George Sotiropoulos was the season 6 winner of TUF and won his first 7 fights in the UFC, his first loss in the ufc came by the lethal kickboxer Dennis Siver in feb of 2011.

Chris Leben Another TUF season 1 cast member Chris Leben has fought 17 times to date in the UFC, we have seen him struggle with some of the tougher guys in the middle weight division but is still one of the best fighters to come out of TUF.
