Oleg Borisov - http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Oleg-Borisov-87679
I've been following this Russian Featherweight for a while now, and i've been extremely impressed with his skills.
(1) Amazing Takedowns - Very few UFC fighters have such TD capabilities
(2) Great Takedown Defense (low base, quick sprawl)
(3) Very Good Standup (KO Power + very sound boxing technique + decent leg kicks)
(4) Great cardio (never seen him even remotely gassed)
(5) pretty good G'n'P (although perhaps he could improve in this area)
(6) Not sure about his Submission game (got a nasty guillotine though)
Now i know people are gonna say that he's fought low-level competition, but i'm telling you - This guy is high-level!
Check out some of his fights and don't even bother to comment if you don't take the time to watch the videos:
