What current fighters could be the next to go mainstream like Conor and Ronda did?

Does anyone think there are some current fighters right now who could blow up big on the mainstream level?
 
Erik Silva

Have you heard of him yet?
 
Justine Kish has potential she could sell a few toilet seats i'm sure.
 
Mike Perry has the best chance on the current roster. Seriously.

All the guys from dagestan and chechenya have potential to do it.
 
Imo it’s guys in the lower weight classes if anything.

More win streaks, more youth. Upper weight classes are mostly guys getting up there in age
 
If Brett Johns beats Sterling then I'd really like to see the Welsh/British fans get behind him. Bantamweight is a really tough division though and I don't see many people beating the top 3 of Cruz, TJ, and Dillashaw.
 
To be honest, none really. The only one would be Jones, if he can refrain from car accidents, coke and dick pills. With a successful comeback and move to HW, he can probably be the star he was supposed to be.
 
Kevin Lee if he would have beat Tony. Could still get there maybe.
 
no one on the current UFC roster. mcgregor's and rousey's don't grow on trees.
 
I think if a fighter demolishes Conor, they will have a good shot.

Organically speaking, Max Holloway has the best chance, but unlikely. I think that person will come out of the blue.
 
I seriously think Khabib. The buyrate for 223 will be very telling.

Also, i believe Ngannou wouldve been one, had he KTFO stipe.

Other than these, Cyborg, Platinum..um

Wow this is sad.
 
Israel Adesanya & Mike Perry

People love consistent and stylish KOs.
