7th best prospect in the ufc

She's on the list!

 

[Joinho10]

Anyway, here's my alternative list

8. Renat Khavalov - 23 (EFC) BW

This W mate. I love watching Renat and have him even above Umar as the Abdulmanap fighter with the highest ceiling. I'm still surprised how easily he dispatched of Sharapudin another dagi future star I definitely had Shara as favorite coming into that fight. Cant wait to see more of Renat and Shara hopefully both get on the January USA debut EFC card.

 

[GSPrush1]

Topuria is number 1

 

[Pancake Sprawl]

how is Maycee Barber ahead of Christian Lee?

Do you actually watch all of those promotions?

Yeah but I cherry pick fights i want to watch, I don't sit through the whole card.

 

[AtomicPanther]

I know I've lost interest in MMA the past few years, but I didn't realize how much. I have no idea who any of them are.

 

[NoSmilez]

Yadong isn't bad. He has 8 fights in the UFC? Lost once?

 

[Kratos94]

Chase Hooper lmao

 

[Nwo4life]

Espn is soo stupid

 

[Mmmmmmma1234]

7th best prospect in the ufc, y'all

7th best IN THE WORLD MFER not the ufc!

 

[CrippleWerk]

Wait, so AJ Mckee doesn't even make the list? Out of 25?!?! WTF?

 

[Hellowhosthat]

Wait, so AJ Mckee doesn't even make the list? Out of 25?!?! WTF?

He's 26.

 

[executionermma]

honestly, if you don't have Christian Lee in your top 5, i don't even wanna hear ya, he has the best resume of them all with wins over Dagi (Turk monster), Aoki, Nastyukhin (who blasted Eddie Alvarez), Lapicus, Boku, Tokudome.. and he looks very well rounded at just 23 years old with a lot of growth potential, he's my #1 but if you want to have guys like Topuria, Yadong and Parnasse over him, fine, but top 5 is a MUST.

 

[ThunderStruck]

No Erik Silva? Fail.

 

[chardog]

#1 Usman Nurmagomedov

 

[dc007]

Barber is awfully high for someone with no ground game.

 

[bigbosssnake]

Topuria should be #1
