Top prospect in UFC (2017 edition)

Who is the best prospect in the UFC?

  • Total voters
    157
Voted for Tyson Pedro. I was blown away by his performance against Bearjew, absolutely flawless and devastating.

Maybe that's me over rating Paul Craig though, but I think it's going to be proven as a very good win to have on your record. We'll see
 
Duquesnoy is my top prospect under your age limit.

Really dig Diakiese, but you guys are gonna turn on him the second he loses, which will happen before he makes Top 10, I predict.

You know that's just a nickname, and not his actual name, right?

wtf?
I was under the impression that was his real name, someone in some thread lately made it sound that way.
I apologize to Bearjew, still a fucking stupid ass nickname though lol.

grasso? LMAO

out of that list i wanna say moreno or diakiese
 
Voted Diakiese, I feel he has the speed and power to come really far. With evolving technique he can become a beast.

Moreno is already so sound everywhere. He can go really far. Most of the others are hard to say for me. Mocaino is alright but he is already 27. See him more as a good middle tier guy.

Rest I havent really seen enough off.
 
My vote is on Blaydes, he only loses to Ngannou because his eye is fucked, I think Moreno and Carneiro aren't prospect anymore, with wins off Ortiz and Stephen, they're actually contenders.
 
I went with Diakiese. He showed he has decent enough grappling when he overcame adversity against Sajewski, who is a great bjj player. His speed and athleticism is on another level, and he has big KO power. Plus he is one of the youngest on the list so improving every day.

What about Erick Silva?
The kid is young, highly motivated, trains hard to fill all his holes.
 
On the list - Diakase
Although 28, my number one prospect is: Usman.
 
Usman is a star but he isn't really a prospect anymore - ranked top 10 in official UFC rankings.
 
I like Tom Duquesnoy he just needs to work some wrestling
