Gustafsson's no good. Drops his hands and arm-punches. If someone like Brandon Vera can't make it at LHW, with his beautiful technique, Gustafsson sure can't.

Vera didn't make it at LHW because of his work ethic and mental game, not his skills IMO.

I'd probably move Edson Barboza up on that list, and I don't think I'd have Brookin's on that list at all... but otherwise, it looks pretty good to me.

Do Rumble and Showtime still count as prospects?

No. I tried to leave out guys who are already pretty well established, though the term prospect is always going to be somewhat subjective.

I'm interested to see this kid fight Bruce Leroy on Sunday in Milwaukee. I'm pretty sure he is really young, and I read his judo is on another level. Although I haven't seen the kid fight.

I think Phil Davis should be off the list.

If you've ever been (or at least scheduled to be) in a PPV main event, you're not a prospect anymore, you're there.

I went back and forth on Davis. Had he actually fought Rashad, I likely would have dropped him from the list.

En hoe apperceive ik als ik een absolute of beïnvloede agenda goedkeur goedkeur

Ronny Markes has a case to be on this list after his dominating debut.

I know it would be a ton more work, but this would be a lot more meaningful if you had a short write up about each guy. Weight class, record, age, and why he's in the spot you have him.

Would probably generate more discussion that way too.

I'm just floored by the fact that one of these guy is a prospect :

Keep an eye on Belfort's protege.

Erick Silva might be a top 15, arguably top 10, prospect already.
