Fighters that have reached the top 15 like Cody Garbrandt and Jimmie Rivera (who is ranked number 11 at that, on the cusp of being top 10), I don't consider prospects, even if they are only 3 - 0 into their UFC careers.

I also didn't include prospects that have gone 4+ wins, because they're on the verge of top 15 status ex. Chris Wade and Warlley Alves.

Rashid Magomedov who has 4 wins has already reached the top 15.

Paige VanZant is number 7 in her division.

I have to say Curtis Blaydes, dude is an animal, and a great signing by the UFC. I see him holding the belt one day.
 
Sage because hes got the ufc hype machine behind him
 
I voted Yair, but I'm probably being biased
Tough decision
 
Warlley Alves.

"I also didn't include prospects that have gone 4+ wins, because they're on the verge of top 15 status ex. Chris Wade and Warlley Alves."

I put that in the OP.

Erick Silva. Really young guy and a great prospect that has all the time in the world to get it together against top competition and become a force.

Didn't see that and I'll now go with Kamaru Usman and Sanders.
 
Mirsad Bektic and Mairbek Taisumov. Doo Ho Choi has some sick hands, I wanna see where they take him.
 
Jake Matthews

He is better than Sage and only 21. And looks like Justin Bieber, I don't know why he is not a Dana baby.
 
Out of who you listed in the poll, I picked Choi. He's got some very slick striking and is looking like a monster. He's definitely one of the best strikers in his division, I can see him making some real noise. KZ said that Choi beats him up in the gym all the time, so we'll see what Choi can do in the future, I'm confident in his abilities.

Besides him, I say Thomas Almeida. Almeida is one of the most dangerous knockout artists in MMA right now and he's looking like a beast and I've had my eye on him since before coming to the UFC, so far he's looking good and is knocking people senseless just like I felt he could. I see him doing big things in the future, he's got so much room for improvement since he's still so young. I can't wait to see what he's like in a couple years.
 
Phil brooks is undefeated

Seriously though I like breese. That was a tough opponent he just beat and he's training out of Tristar

Good picks. I was on the debate about replacing Ray with Usman. I completely forgot about Sanders, good call.
 
Holloway is not on that list........if McGregor keeps on fighting like this, the chances are very realistic he will have to vacate the title. Edgar is already 34 years old, so maybe in a few years holloway can reach a championship level .
 
I went with Blaydes. I'm surprised they didn't fire Cody East but a quick google search says they did their own investigation and feel comfortable with the offer.

Thomas Almeida is one of my favourite fighters, I didn't include him though because he's ranked number 7 already in the BW division.
