When the UFC brought the WEC over to their roster, there were a lot of bodies that needed to fill both the featherweight and bantamweight divisions.

Boy, did TUF 14 do that in a major way.

In a season coached by rivals Michael Bisping and Jason Miller, the talent pool was absolutely stacked, making for a fun, competitive season. Little did we know that this cast would hold a current UFC champion, a former title challenger and a handful of contenders.

The biggest name to come out is current wrecking machine and UFC Bantamweight Champion T.J. Dillashaw, who looks to be one of the best fighters to come out of the show—period. His constant improvements are no surprise, as he looked to be a workhorse in the gym during the show.

Then you have top guys like John Dodson, Dennis Bermudez and Bryan Caraway. All three men are top-15 fighters, if not top-10 fighters in their respective divisions.

There are a number of solid midcarders that have also filled in the UFC nicely. Jimmie Rivera (eliminated before making it into the house), Diego Brandao and Marcus Brimage have all had solid runs in the company, while others like Akira Corassani, Louis Gaudinot and a bevy of others had runs as well.

It is one of the few times a recent season in the show's history provided so much talent.
