Top prospect in UFC (2017 edition)

[mattandbenny]

Pedro getting more love than i thought he would.

I agree with @Lumberjacks, said, if the guy can show some good TDD, man he will be hard to beat

Blaydes is good but it's HW, he can be KO'd in every fight
Pedro could be another good option since LHW is shallow as fook
Moreno is doing great but I feel some good striker would UD him
Duquesnoy is a great prospect but his first fight on UFC showed us he needs to improve his striking defense badly

Choi, Lando & Bectic. Even though they all lost their last one each one can be a contender.

 

[mattandbenny]

Think them 3 are past prospect status.

Do any of these people have a fight coming up soon? Except Alexa Grasso, I don't give a shit about her.

Blaydes is fighting Omielanczuk & Diakiese is fighting Klose. Don't think the other 8 have any fights set.

You didn't mention my number one prospect:

Islam makhachev , Moreno, Duquesnoy, and Diakiese. In that order.

 

[fortheo]

Moreno IMO. Not sure he'll ever be elite, but he's a tough cat. He should be around for a long time.

He's ranked 7th and already elite.

Token woman Wanted to put Cynthia Calvillo on the list, but she was too old at 29. Grasso seems to be the best female fighter to fit the age & less than 3 fights criteria. Only other one is Ketlen Vieira (2-0) but don't really rate her.

Moroz is 25 years old, on a two fight win streak, and has only lost once in her career to a fighter who fought for the title in the next fight. People forget about her because she punched a lot of air in her last fight (still won). She also finished a top ten fighter:

 

[mattandbenny]

Moroz is a half decent prospect, but didn't fit the 3 fights or less criteria.

 

[Mr. Hammer]

How about Emil Meek, the guy that destroyed Palhares and is currently 1-0 UFC vs Jordan Mein? Terrible omission.

 

[GSP_37]

Never heard of most of them.

 

[Mr. Hammer]

Ok so I noticed the silly max age 27 rule after making that post but it is a ridiculous rule. Meek is very much a prospect, moreso than most of that list.

 

[Drake]

I seriously can't believe Pedro is already #13 in the rankings. LHW...lol.


I voted Diakiese but didn't see Moreno. Baby Assassin all day.

Gotta have a cut off somewhere - he'll be 29 in a couple on months, at what age does one stop being a prospect? For this poll, the age i chose was 27.

 

[Cowboy Cerroliveira]

Voted Moreno, but Diakese, Blaydes, and Tyson Pedro are beasts!

Erick Silva is 32 years young and still growing into a future champion. You're clearly ageist.

 

[mattandbenny]

I guess i am ageist

 

[Guile]

Alexa Grasso is on this list and not Cynthia Calvillo?

Calvillo is nearly 30 - too old to be included in the poll (see OP for rules).
