Clint Hester
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zl2V-sHlgBs Clint Hester didn't completely dominate in his middleweight bout against Antônio Braga Neto, in fact he couldn't keep up when the fight went to the ground, but his striking remains strong and he did enough to win. Now 4-0 in the UFC and on a six fight win streak, Hester is arguably the most successful fighter from Season 17 of TUF, at least past Gastelum (should he get his weight under control), and/or until Uriah Hall turns things around. I mentioned Marcelo Guimarães vs. Hester earlier, but there are also a couple of upcoming middleweight bouts at UFC 175 that could play a role here: Luke Zachrich vs. Guilherme Vasconcelos, and Chris Camozzi vs. Bruno Santos. If Camozzi wins, that's the fight that would really test Hester, but any of those men are candidates, as Hester needs a few more fights to up his game before considering a bigger jump up in competition.
