[Tamriel Terror]

Erick Silva.

Kid may be young but definitely a future goat contender.

 

[Clear Winner]

Jon Jones

 

[SeaLevelMizugaki]

That russian guy in featherweight.

 

[tramendous]

Muh boy shogun. Will return to form when he heals up.

 

[SVG]

Mackenzie Dern

 

[Kung Fu bb]

Muh boy shogun. Will return to form when he heals up.

Even being only 5% of his former self, the guy is still top 5 in the world. Just how good is that guy?

 

[FrontNakedChoke]

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say Julian Marquez

[Typrune Goatley]

Tai Tuvasa at HW
Dominick Reyes at LHW
Mairbek Taisumov at LW
Zabit Magomedsharipov at FW
Calvin Kattar at FW

These guys are coming up

 

[The Natural Born Runner]

Sharipov.

 

[youngsteinel]

Paulo Costa could have a breakthrough this year. That man is scary.

 

[executionermma]

Izzy for the win, debut at UFC 221

 

[Atomic 187]

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say Julian Marquez

Definite possibility

 

[Clear Winner]

This was the guy I actually came in to post, but I forgot his name. Thanks for the reminder too.

Im glad someone else remembers Dominick Reyes, He looks legit. I think if he stays active hes in the top 8 by the end of the year if not getting a title shot. Also new signee Curtis Millendar could be a new contender this year but he seems tentative at times. We will see. Sean O'malley could be another one but he might be too much of a brawler.

Ridiculous to compare the guy who took the title from the GOAT bantamweight to fucking Oezy.

Oezdemir is a great striker. He will look better in his next fight.

He put Manuwa and Cirkunov to sleep in 30 seconds!

No shame in losing to Daniel Cormier. No other LHW has grappling even half that good
