I admit I was much more excited to see Duffee fight than Buentello, but it looks like I'll have to wait. Duffee showed some extreme athleticism in those 7 seconds it took to dismantle Tim. That being said, 7 seconds is a very short time. Don't forget how people talked about Houston Alexander after he KO'd Jardine and Sakara. He went from a future title threat to a gatekeeper at best in a quick 3 fights. Regardless, I have very high hopes for Todd. Please don't let me down sir. Very good points dpk.

I think Buentello would be too much for Struve at this point, but Struve seems to be coming on as a grappler and is still only 21 y/o. If Duffee can get 3 w's in the next year we could be talking about him in the same way most people feel about Velasquez at this point, which is 1 big win away from a title shot. One of the best things going for Duffee is that UFC does not need to rush him into a title shot. They have Cain, Nog, Carwin, Dos Santos, and Mir that could all legitimately earn title shots in the next year while Duffee continues to develop. I'd like to see his next fight be against either Heath Herring (If he ever fights again), or Antoni Hardonk. Russow hasn’t fought since August, so it would make sense for him to take this fight.

As far as Duffee, the kid had a great ko but thats all he's done so far in the octagon, he still has a lot to prove. I’d like to see Struve vs. Buentello, personally.
