Of these Woman's Straweight Prospects who do you think will go the furthest in they're division?

Suarez. Dern has potential but I want to see her against some top tier competition. Suarez has already looked great against UFC caliber opponents.

Suarez, as a Joanna fan I was kind of relieved when her career was sidelined for a year by injury.

Viana is probably going to replace Cynthia Danasdottir as the boss's new favorite.

I'm a fan of Aldrich, also hoping her pal Yoder pulls something off against Dern.

I had a lot of hope for Yoder but she's on a two fight losing skid
 
I hope Dern does well but Polyana Viana is the future star on that list
 
Polyana and Suarez. Polyana needs a lot of polishing in her striking and wrestling imo. Suarez is very well rounded and has a great grasp of the fundamentals. Kassem and Dern should be 125 but they have great potential too. Again though they need polish to their striking.
 
Suarez, and Dern by far.

Kind of unsure about Xiaonan/Aldrich. Both veterans who seems to be adding to their game still.

It's not just hype. She is the most decorated female grappler in UFC history.

But does not seem to be translating to MMA all that well, given her limited number of subs over club-level opponents.
 
Suarez is a beast, she's a future champ for sure.

She's still super green. And she she already has one of the all-time great WMMA submissions.

She would strangle Viana 100 out of a 100 times.

And? All she is is a prospect right now. And that assumes she can get the fight to the ground. She seems to have trouble with that. She is great once it gets there, but the remaining 2/3 of her game needs serious work.

Agree she is green. Hence the hype comment. I realize she is popular because of her tits and ass, but her striking and takedowns need a lot of work.
 
Imma go ahead and say ABC cuz she's pretty damn hot
 
Suarez by miles. Wrestling dominates WMMA because many women have crap TD defense and their takedowns are nothing more than hip tosses or head and arms. Suarez also trains BJJ with one of the best world class guys in SoCal, Marcelo "Lapella" Mafra (has victories over Tonnen) so her sub game is ever improving. Striking needs refinement but in current WMMA takedowns and subs can get you to the top.

MacKenzie "Whatcha" Dern has a ton of hype....

I think UFC will try to push her in hopes of creating a marketable star. I hope she commits seriously to striking and to managing her weigh-ins.
 
Suarez, Viana or Aldrich. Kassem is most likely moving up for her next fight. Suarez and Viana need to work on their striking but ground-wise they're pretty good. Aldrich I think will continue to improve and have a breakout moment I'd say next year or the year after, she had some really good moments in her fight against Danielle Taylor and showed a lot of improvement from her fight against Chan Mi Jeon, would like to see her vs. Amanda Cooper. Xiaonan is also on my list but I wanna see more of her, I hope she's working on her grappling and takedown defence because she's got some pretty good striking.

Also I didn't watch her fight yet but did anyone watch Syuri Kondo vs. Chan Mi Jeon? Anyone think Kondo is a prospect to watch?
