Jessica Penne is my dark horse to win the show.

I think Penne's way more than a dark horse, she may be coming up from 105 but she's a big 105er (taller than Esparza who's currently the 115 champ) so I don't think that'll play into anything.
I see Penne, Esparza and Torres (I know, she hasn't really been tested either, but she's decimated better competition) as front runners and Jo Jo, Rose (she tested the **** out of Torres), Justine Kish as dark horses. I also think there are at least 4-5 more fighters that could have a magical run since this is a tournament and anything can happen.
All in all, this is without any shred of doubt the best season of TUF ever on paper and I don't see any way it doesn't materialize into it in reality.
My pick to win: Heart and 99%belief says Jo Jo. Head says Penne. Gut says Torres.
That's how good this season is, I can't even get all my body parts to agree :)

He then rematched Frankie Edgar and in one of the biggest robberies in UFC history, Benson Henderson came away with the title in a fight where the vast majority of people believed that Frankie Edgar won.
Benson Henderson then defeated Nate Diaz in a dominant performance because Benson's style was essentially tailor-made to beat Nate Diaz.
He then fought Gilbert Melendez and in what arguably may be the greatest title fight robbery in UFC history, he 'defeated' Gilbert Melendez via split-decision to retain the belt.
He then fought Anthony Pettis (a.k.a. Glass Joe) and lost in the first round.
When Benson Henderson was champion, he was arguably the fourth best lightweight in the world by the end of his reign. That's not impressive...like at all.

The controversy in the rematch I completely understand. I haven't watched that fight ever since watching it live, but watching it live I thought Edgar won, so I understand the controversy here.
The Nate Diaz fight was obviously not even close, but as for the Melendez fight? This (to me) is a prime example of a fight that was as close as you can get to a draw without it actually being a draw. Again, much like the first Edgar fight, I enjoyed this one, so I have watched it a few times. Every time I watch it, I still think this fight was so close. Any guy could have won, but had Gilbert won, there would be no controversy talk. People only use the term 'controversy' here because Henderson has been on the winning end of some 'sketchy' decisions in the past. I'm neutral on both guys, I like them both. If Melendez won, I wouldn't have complained.
I understand the criticism, hell, the fight after losing the belt he fought to another 5 round split. Is the hate for Henderson deserve? In my opinion, no, but I understand the complaints. I don't think a few close fights should be used to discredit a guy like Benson.
