For me it has to be Whittaker and Nordine Taleb. THey both have WICKED stand up. man Robert has the most explosive first step I have seen in a while he launches combos like Fedor used to do and Taleb has some really unique and amazing striking as well. I think Robert is going to fight for a title at some point in 2017 and Taleb isnt a spring chicken but he is on the rise too.
 
Nordine Taleb is awesome. His sweet, sweet revenge on cheapskate Silva was glorious.

Before Sat I'd have said Yair, but he's too cool now.

Matthews has a fight coming up. I pick him until he loses.
 
Whittaker is ranked pretty high, would he still classify as "up and coming"?
 
Everyone ranked 10-15 at lightweight and featherweight
 
Taleb looked like a beast in his last fight. Amazing how he completely shut down Silva.

There are so many great prospects right now in and out of the UFC. with the right match making and promotion it can be an exciting time for MMA. not going to name drop because I dont want to jinx anything
 
I wouldnt say he is an up and coming fighter but without a shread of a doubt im gonna say its Michael Mayday Mcdonald
 
Ben Nguyen, Yair Rodriguez,

Tumenov is ranked by now, if he isn't Top 15 at the least he needs a step up in competition
