Who are the newer up and comers you guys like most in each division? Here's mine:
Marlon Moraes (20-5-1) - Former WSOF champ, 2-1 in the UFC with skills to beat anyone.
Brian Ortega (13-0-1) - He's the obvious one after the other night. I'm not super stoked on him but I'm drawing a blank of other newer featherweights so he's the guy.
Justin Gaethje (18-1) - Another former WSOF champ who's all action. He's not as refined as Moraes and just got finished by Alvarez but this dude is the just bleed god, if he refines his skill even a little bit he's a threat to everyone in the division.
Kamaru Usman (13-1) - Already 5-0 in the UFC I have the feeling this guy is like a 50/50 shot at winning the belt. He's not there yet and I'm hoping Lawler or Masvidal can get the crown before him but Usman is 29 so he has a little bit of time.
Thiago Santos (16-5) - Not really as big a prospect as the other dudes and he's already 33 and 8-4 in the UFC so it's really unlikely he goes as far as anyone else but I think he's exciting and MW doesn't have a lot of young guys I have faith in. The only one is like Gastelum but I think he's getting Johnny Hendricks syndrome and I don't have faith in him.
Gohkan Saki (1-1) - LHW is another division lacking big time young up and comers so I went with a 34 year old kick boxer. He's was excellent in his debut and I think they'll fast track him if they can get anything out of him.
Curtis Blaydes (8-1) - Guy is only 26, has great wrestling credentials and is the only one to really give Ngannou a fight. This is a no brainer and I think he's going to do great things.
