siyar y erik silva are hands down tha best on tha list
Yes he did. I still have faith he will come back better.
Why post something from April?
Barboza got taken out by Varner
I agreed six months ago, yeah.
One of your “prospects” is already a champion. Seriously? Also, the list fails without Andrew Craig.
SIYAR THE GREATTT
Rory McDonald will be the best pound for pound one day. And…hello? Chris Weidman?
Stephen Thompson shouldn’t be on there lol he’s cake. Erick Silva’s my boy!!! WAR SILVA!!!
Weidman is the next champion.
This isn’t even an updated list… 3 of the guys have been defeated on the list
Check out newly signed Belator fighter, Marcus Lelo Aurelio!

a lot of the fighters on this list has lost recently
Outdated list, not really UFC prospects. Top UFC prospect is Lance Palmer for sure.
