Who do you guys think will be the 3 breakout stars of the UFC in 2018 ?

[SVG]

If you had to choose 3 guys who you could see making a big impact in the UFC in 2018 what 3 would you pick ?

Here's mine -



Francis N'gannou

Colby Covington

Kevin Lee

 

[Fungoose]

Might be a bit early, but Eric Silva.

 

[sirmorbach]

I agree with Francis and Kevin Lee, but instead of Colby I'd go with T-City.

 

[beefcake180]

All 3 of those guys broke out in 2017

For me, Zabit, Mairbek Taisumov, and Curtis Blaydes

 

[awymore]

Might be a bit early, but Eric Silva.

Oh man, had me laughing out loud at the office.

 

[mb23100]

Francis

Rose

Ortega

 

[SaintSoldier]

Might be a bit early, but Eric Silva.

This meme never gets old, just like Eric Silva.

 

[Armitage Shanks]

I think Stephen Thompson is gonna finally find his footing on the big stage, maybe claim the strap by the end of the year.

I could see Rose Namajunes doing big things too.

And Darren Till is looking awesome!

 

[Frode Falch]

Tony ferguson

Max holloway

Francis N'gannou

 

[LiveFreeorDie]

Paige Van Zant, Sage, CM Punk

 

[SeattleFightFan]

I wouldn't call them stars yet. If N'gannou wins the title and KO's Stipe then we are on a different level altogether. Same for Colby if he deals with Tyron.

all 3 of them fought a top 3 fighter in their division, and then became more famous after the fight than before.

there's not much wiggle room between that and being a champ. does a guy have to be a champion for you to define them as 'breakout'?

 

[quantiqus]

So, we have

A guy with one of the most bland boring personalities in UFC, he makes Luke interesting

A guy with a dumb trying-way-too-hard speech, who gets bullied by HWs

A guy with "you know, like, I might, you know, if conor like wants to you know I will you know cause like you know"


Yep, they all have something Conor has.

I can see it happen!

Might be a bit early, but Eric Silva.

Man, I don't know what to say.
Sure, he is very young and has a whole career in front of him
Yes, he is undefeated
Yes, he has this amazing winning streak against those well ranked guys
Yes, he never went to a decision, he finished all of his opponents
Probably the only steroid clean fighter in UFC
But, I don't know if 2018 will be his year

 

[777 Others]

Darren Till

Ngannou

TBC

 

[TAK47]

The Platinum One!

 

[Armitage Shanks]

Oh, and if USADA Don’t TKO him first, Paolo Costa looks a beast at MW

 

[Rav7n]

The scouser till.
Franny
Colby..

 

[COBRA03]

Neither sounds good at all! How about a rear NAKED choke from Miesha Tate? Yeah, that sounds better.

 

[VanMMA]

Along with the 3 listed, I want to say Mike Perry, Ortega and Islam Makhachev.

 

[Armitage Shanks]

Might be a bit early, but Eric Silva.

[Judge Lance Ito]

Ruan Potts, Charlie Ward, and Artem Lobov.
