[Red Enigma X]

Instead of Paul Craig, I'd say Tyson Pedro for LHW.

 

[Metallicalabran]

Erick Silva

Stop it, let him develop, he is still too young

Within what time span? Till will probably get a title shot at some point, but he's most likely going to get embarassed by Wonderboy and we have yet to see him against an elite wrestler. For the reason, I'll say Usman.

Overall, I'm inclined to believe that we're about to see a shift in the meta from sprawling strikers back to boxer wrestlers, thanks to the influx of Dagestan talent. Makachev and Zabit will almost certainly fight for titles within the next couple years.

Would you withdraw your belief if Till beats Wonderboy in impressive fashion ?.

David Teymur
Renato Moicano
Ricardo Ramos
Mairbek Taisumov

I'd be mighty impressed, but that doesn't mean he can handle a wrestler like Woodley, Usman, or heck even Maia.

True.

I hear that this guy called cm punk is a real up and comer.

Also Erik Silva given time will be a world champion. He's still really young.
