    We have seen the UFC push some talented fighters to quickly, and it can ruin them. It's not a stretch to think Bo has what it takes to go all the way. The UFC is trying not to fumble the bag again. They're trying to put him under the bright lights for the recognition and circumstances where he should shine. Soon enough, he's going to face some real tough opponents.
