Jacare v mousasi 1
Diaz vs lawler

 

I don't know if Jones-Bader counts? They were more than prospects when they fought, but they also weren't clear contenders.

 

Griffin vs Bonnar 1.

 

Nah, I don't think so. Bader after beating Jardine and especially Nogueira (despite a bit of controversy at the time) was ranked pretty highly. Probably fringe Top-5 at the time, and Jones was Top-10 too. They were closer to contenders than prospects.

Gustafsson-Davis was a LHW prospect match-up.

 

That doesn't, but TS's list is amazing. That's where the bar is set now. I got nothing on that level

 

Any others?

 

max holloway vs bermudez

 

Tumenov vs Musoke is underrated
Taisumov vs Patrick
Tukhugov vs Da Silva
Khabib vs RDA/Trujillo
Magomedov vs Silveiro
Tavares vs Ortega
Munoz vs Weidman
Doo Ho Choi vs Puig

 

Hendricks-Story
Benson-Cerrone 1 - both guys had only been pro fighters for about 3 years before this fight
Borg-Ortiz
Holloway-Bermudez
Souza vs Eddiva
Kang vs Tanaka - After 7 years and 20 fights, I not sure Kang counted as a prospect anymore though.
Rodriguez-Rosa
Lineker-Gaudinot
Lineker-Alp - Not sure if Lineker counted as a prospect at this point but this was definitely his step up point.

 

GSP/Karo

 

Some gud mentions here, but also a couple head scratchers like Tavares who is nowhere near a prospect at this point.

 

Taisumov vs Christodoulou
Hester vs Whittaker
Bektic vs Martins

The upcoming prospect fight I'm looking most forward to is Jouban vs Tumenov.
