ForcexrecoN Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 List 3 of your top 3 prospects you'd like to see excel in MMA and why. 1. Junior Dos Santos - as he is my favorite fighter, he always shows up to entertain and perform. His hard work and fighting style to entertain the fans deserved him this spot. 2. Charles Oliviera - He has impressed me quite a bit, I do believe I see glimpses of greatness and would like for him do VERY well in MMA, as his style is also very entertaining. 3. Jon Jones - I don't really care much for him, but having a dominant Black-AMERICAN will help expand the sports ethnicity and coverage. So I wish him luck. Your turn.

rodrodMMA92 Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 I agree with JDS and Charles Oliviera. Jon Jones is having too much hype around him and it could catch up to him. Hope not though I like him. Evan Dunham got screwed by the judges and hope he can come back. With both Oliveira and Dunham LW will get just that much more exciting.

JDS and Bones are less prospects now and more along the lines of established fighters. Oliveira, Konrad, Woodley, Freire, Davis, and Ganjo.

MMA_IS_LIFE Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 no particuliar order ross pearson- this guy has really impressed me in his recent preformances, he was winning his last fight but just got caught. I hope he does well ryan bader- this kid is amazing, he has dominated every fight he's been in. he's fought some top conpetition in his last few fights.(say what you want, kieth jardine and lil nog are no walk in the park) and i think he has as best a chance as anyone at getting the title. brendan schaub- schaub has really impressed me with his past few preformances, he looks to be well rounded, hasen't fought top competition yet, but gonzaga will be a big step for him, i hope he does well. i could rample on all day about hot prospects. i don't have time to say alot about every fighter i like, so i will list a few more though. notables: pat barry, damian maia, hazzlett, sadollah, escudero, alvarez, tyson griffin etc the list goes on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And McLovin..... have serious manlove for this guy, brilliant Jitz, its not just good, but un-orthodox, you have no idea what he is thinking... hopefully this bloke is a late bloomer with the rest of his game, seems to be improving his striking even though losing a few on the trot, and hope he can survive the butchers knife.... he is just a fighter that once he gets his game complete, could become the complete dynamic excitement machine.... half the time im not sure if he knows what he is about to do, and I love it.

Brabo Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 Chris Weidman. Not yet in the UFC, but trains in the Serra-Longo camp. Competed in ADCC, his grappling is up there. 3-0 in the minors - all finishes in the first round and when he gets up here he's gonna be a beast. Also - Gunnar Nelson. 8-0-1 with his draw coming in his first professional fight. Other than that - he has 8 finishes (3 TKO 5 Sub) with only one taking more than a round. BOTH these guys are gonna be beasts WHEN they get to the UFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Power Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 1. Claude Patrick (12-1) - This BJJ brown belt and Muay thai striker is from my home town of Toronto, Ontario and he is currently on a 11 fight win streak with one win so far in the UFC. I would like to see more Canadians become top contenders like GSP. 2. Charles Oliveira - If he can keep finishing fights he will be a contender. 3. Jon Jones - Obvious reasons 4. Paulo Thiago - although he was set back with a loss to Martin Kampmann i believe he will be a contender If he really wants it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
