Sam "The Stepping Stone" Sicila. Just good enough to be considered a viable win, not good enough to endanger any of the legit prospects. Poor guy, the UFC have started a trend of feeding him to the interesting prospects in the division.

There is only so many times.a fighter can be fed to a prospect and still be a viable win. Sicilia is about there right now.

True.

By the way, I just watched the fight and was very impressed by Tucker. Dude has a very high fight IQ. Strong and athletic, great footwork and distance control, in-and-out game looked sharp, shot selection was perfect, head never stays in the center after the shot (his head movement in general was fantastic), very nice kicking game and when he decided to go to the ground looked knowledgeable.

Also, the few punches that Sicila did land also showed he can take a punch too (Sicila barely threw because Tucker was never there even though he pushed a high pace that didn't slow down throughout the whole 15 minutes, so cardio looks good too, and with a lot of volume).

He's one I'm going to be following closely from now on. He doesn't have that "natural" talent feel like Conor or Silva, but he seems to have everything else going on for him.
