Who are some up and coming WMMA fighters that you think have the potential to be a future GOAT?
My vote so far is Itsuki Hirata from Japan.
She is 20 years old has won every fight (4 amateur, 2 professional) by submission.
2 armbars, 1 armlock, 1 Americana, 1 RNC, and 1 Kimura.

Her background is judo and she is a monster on the ground.
So dominant, aggressive, and strong for her weight class.
She always works for the finish.

I know it is early in her career and so she hasn't faced the toughest position.
But she seems to have transitioned very well.

Another fighter i like is Kana Watanabe, but i think she gets hit by too many strikes.
Kana Watanabe (not to be confused with Krush kicboxer KANA) really needs a good striking coach.

I think Stamp Fairtex is interesting, though I dunno if she's a GOAT.

Mariya Agapova has also looked great recently.
 
Megumi Fujii, she's the Erik SIlva of WMMA.
Yes. I would agree she is the all-time WMMA GOAT. But i was asking about up and coming WMMA fighters that you think could possibly reach GOAT status in the future.
 
I member when Mizuki Inoue was the next big thing.
