Next 5 Stars in the UFC

[act284]

Who are the next 5 rising stars in the UFC?

I guess it can be two different answers.

1) Who are the next 5 rising fighters that will be stars / most popular?

2.) Who are the next 5 rising fighters that will be champs or top contenders?

Matt Brown??

 

[VonHalen]

PVZ if the community ever starts caring about WMMA.

 

[Janne1]

Nurmagomedov and McGregor.

 

[Steve-French]

Paul Felder
Cody Garbrandt
Joanne Calderwood
Rose Namajunas
Marion Reneau

I don't know about being huge stars, but Imo these five have the potential for greatness.

 

[Andre Xiong]

Matt Brown??

Lawler is the champ afterall and GSP will not be coming back (I think protecting Jon Jones put a nail in the coffin for any GSP return)

 

[Towelie by TKO]

McGregor
Thatch
Felder
Nurmagomedov
Zingano (if she beats Ronda, which is not probable, but is possible)

 

[TheScorpionDude]

Matt Brown??

This.

 

[DyinHawaiian]

Thatch, GOAT, Gastelum, Felder, Khabib

 

[RockyLockridge]

Rose Namajunas
Conor (obviously)
Brandon Thatch
Jimi Manuwa
Luke Rockhold (I believe he will become a draw sooner or later)
