This division is loaded with new talent. I feel like 145 and 155 represent the average sized human beings the best which probably correlates to these divisions being stacked.

Which of the following prospects do you like best and why?

- Brian Ortega
- Yair Rodriguez
- Mirsad Bektic
- Doo Ho Choi
- Makwan Amirkhani
 
T-City and you already know it breh

Would love to say Amirkhani but he's an European and we suck at BJJ/Wresting except for some Russians like Khabib.
 
Doo Ho Choi cause I like to watch that standup game. 170 and 155 I feel are your more average guy size btw. or your could say 145-170
 
I like Yair and Ortega a lot but Bektic is probably going to push through all the way to the top, even though he's not as exciting to watch like these two.
 
Ishihara is the next Sexyama...and I'm fine with that!

I love Brian Ortega but I notice his standup defense needs work and he hunts the submission too much which would hurt him on points in a 3 round fight. Brian is probably still my favorite.

I think Bektic is the most consistent and sure thing but he's boring to me so I haven't analyzed his game thoroughly.

Yair is great and does all the crazy rangy stuff that Jackson-Wink teaches...but I've only seen him matched up with guys he's much more talented than...I think the Fili fight will teach us a lot.

Choi has great size and athleticism...plus he's extremely technical offensively and defensively. The dude packs power...but we haven't seen him in trouble yet or on the ground extensively so I consider him a wild card still.

Makwan is actually a great grappler even though he's from europe LOL. He's got personality but I haven't seen enough diversity to consider him better than the guys above.

Must be a lot of small human beings around the rest of the world. Also I think Amirkhani and Doo Ho Choi.
 
Ortega has the style I love. He is always looking to finish. He reminds me of Condit in that if you took away all the shit and let him fight no rounds or anything, he finishes most guys but I could see him losing on points.
 
I'd say Choi, at least he hasn't been popped like Ortega.
 
Brian Ortega - new Gracie family hope
