Struve.

Germane de randemie, Tatiana Suarez, Albert Tumenov, Clay Guida, Whittaker.
 
He is one guy I can't picture fighting for a title, most guys above him are better wrestlers - so no submissions for him, and while it's not hard - most fighters are better strikers. He got lucky that Dariush gassed, and that he pulled out vs Ferguson, I can't think of a fighter that I would pick him to beat in the top 10.
 
Nick Diaz, he's a southpaw but he fights more like an orthodox fighter(jabs a lot more than most southpaws) so him being in the same stance as Lawler makes it much easier to land the jab, his pace, cardio and ground game could also give Lawler issues.

TS you're pick is a good one Masvidal could potentially beat anyone at LW and he matches up well with Alvarez as they are similar fighters with strong boxing and underrated grappling/wrestling.
