A quick reminder of the rules as always:
1) They must be undefeated!
2) They must NOT be signed to any of the three largest promotions (UFC, Bellator & WSOF)
3) They must have fought at least once in 2014
4) They must have had at least 3 professional fights
Today is the time for the Flyweight division. I probably noticed the biggest difference in this division compared to last year - Last year I remember struggling to find 30 guys, but this year it was easy to pick 35, and I had to leave out some decent prospects! Those just missed out on the top 35 include Tulio Vasconcelos (5-0), Flavio De Queiroz (3-0), Keoma De Paula (4-0), Matheus Silva (5-0), Eduardo Pereira (4-0), Eric Dos Santos (4-0) & Tim Riscen (4-0)
Guys ineligible due to inactivity included Allamurad Karayev (9-0), Elielton Fernandes (8-0), Chris Miah (5-0), Fernando Luiz Silva (5-0) & Sok Veasna (4-0).
As always i'd be interested to hear everyone's opinions on this list, both good and bad!. Also if anyone can suggest fighters that I missed out or any ages of the fighters which I couldn't find it would be appreciated.
Enjoy Part 7!
