Your top-5 UFC prospects right now?

[Gregoire1]

Name your top-5 UFC prospects right now in order.
My top-5:
1. Usman
2. Adesanya
3. Till
4. Zabit
5. Borrachinha

HW: Volkov, Santiago P., Rivera.

 

[irishzombie]

Ortega would be another . Could be great .

 

[BigMuffler]

Are guys like Volkov and Ortega really prospects? Till and Rivera are also a bit questionable, to me a prospect is someone who hasn't beaten an established elite fighter yet.

Tvoy babushka garmoshka kartoshka

 

[Clear Winner]

Ortega would be another . Could be great .

Ortega's the number 1 conteder, not really a prospect.

If that's how we were doing it, you could just reel off every number 1 contender as the top prospects.

Hell of a fighter though

[binny]

how highly ranked/ how many fights does one have to have before they are past prospect?
Usman, Volkov, Santi, and Ortega are all past that point imo.

 

[Muppettoker]

Tuivasa

 

[Raise Your Fist]

No order

1) David Teymur
2) Tai Tuivasa
3) Gregor Gillespie
4) Marlon Moraes
5) Curtis Bladyes

 

[MikeyCanFly]

In no order:

Gregor Gillespie
Nathaniel Woods
Zabit
Dominick Reyes
Trevin Giles

 

[Better Every Day]

Assuming that "contenders" don't count as "prospects", and trying my best to differentiate between the two categories, I'd mention:

Women's bantamweight: Aspen Ladd
Women's flyweight: Andrea Lee
Women's strawweight: Tatiana Suarez

 

[VuvuzelaBzz]

In no particular order:

Brandon Moreno
Vicente Luque
Tom Duquesnoy
Alexander Volkanovski
Petr Yan

Probably forgetting someone.

 

[007]

Ortega
Zabit
Gillespie
Till
Pedro

Honorable Mention:
Alexander Hernandez

 

[kneesus]

You aren't a prospect once you're making your mark in the big leagues. I'd say Till has arrived and is no longer a prospect.

 

[Evangelion]

Ortega would be another . Could be great .

The #1 ranked fw isn't a prospect

 

[Lumberjacks]

Zabit

Edilov

2 guys with all the tools to rise really fast.

Taisumov, even though I think he is past prospect phase.

 

[drbolony]

This is fun. Imo

5. Tai Tuivasa: This dude puts on entertaining fights, what more is there to say? Its amazing to watch such a big guy explode like that.

4. Dominick Reyes: I have high hopes for this guy. LHW needs some new blood, and he's very promising, mega finisher.

3. Israel Adensaya: Former kickboxer, amazing shot selection, patience, distance, timing. This guy can be special, really looking forward to his development. He'd be my #1 if he were more well rounded.

2. Gregor Gillespie: Don't really know what to say about the guy other than he's really rally good, and he doesn't know how to lose.

1. ZABIT! : This man is the future, such an amazing talent. Must watch TV.
