UFC fighters you think are the next big thing

Jon Jones		26%	(8)
Ryan Bader		19%	(6)
Luis Cane		32%	(10)
Steve Cantwell		3%	(1)
Soszynski		3%	(1)
other		16%	(5)

I mean mostly newcomers, but also if there is a vet that is an odd pick Ithrow him in.


LW- Frankie Edgar (my odd vet pick right away), Maynard, Escudero.- I think these three can eventually hang with anyone out there.

WW- Don't really have one for newcomers, but Hazelett I think will be a good Rich Franklin of the division someday approaching.

MW- none

LHW- Jon Jones, undeniably talented, I think a Diego/Faber for the division athletically and daring wise.
Steve Cantwell- I think he'll make a top tier run.
Ryan Bader- I think this guy is future champ. Period.

HW- the good ones already made their impressions.

LW - Edgar, Terry Etim(not the next big thing, 5 or 6 years away from his prime)

WW - Brock Larson, Carlos Condit, i would say kampmann but i think hes peaked in ability.

MW - Rousimar Palhares, Akiyama, Gouveia

LHW - Shogun! Cane, Vera, Drwal, Sosynski

HW - JDS, Cain.

LW: Tyson Griffin, Gray Maynard, Frankie Edgar, and Terry Etim

WW: Dong Hyun Kim, Dustin Hazelett, Anthony Johnson, TJ Grant and John Hathaway

MW: Rousimar Palhares, Goran Reljic, Yoshihiro Akiyama

LHW: Luiz Cane, Eliot Marshall, Jon Jones, and Krzysztof Soszynski

HW: Shane Carwin, Junior Dos Santos, and Cain Velasquez

Lightweight: Gray, Edgar, Etim
Welterweight: Hazeltt, Johnson
Middleweight: Roussimar,
Lightheavyweight: Cane, Bader, Sosynski
Heavyweight: Juion, Carwin,

I like the possibilities of Ben Saunders being a force to be reckoned with.

im buying what youre selling

Jon 'Bones' Jones is the biggest prospect by far IMO, that guy is just pure awesomeness and he has only been fighting for just over a year and is only 21.

Luis Cane wont amount to much IMO, he is good with out a doubt, i just dont think he will improve that much in his career. Also His fight with Cantwell wasnt like 'Wow he is great fighter' either.

i agree that jones looks really impressive so far and has a really high ceiling. i think cane is tough as nails though. the guy has a bad attitude when he steps into the cage and is a fighters fighter that can give anyone problems. dont forget that cantwell is extremely talented and young as well and i thought that both guys proved that they have what it takes to stick around in a crowded LHW division. i dont think cantwell gets the love he deserves, this kid has a shot at being something special.

Yeah i forgot to mention that actually, Cantwell is another great prospect also and is still only 22 and i actually believe he will go on to be better than Cane. But I still think Jones is the man though, they way he dominated Bonnar like he did, at his age and experience can only mean great things IMO.

LW-Maynard
WW-i dont think he is still a prospect but kappman or maybe AJ
MW: Goran Reljic all the way. as soon as he gets his next fight in the uffc
LHW-Bader, gotta show love to my ASU guy
HW: Pat Barry, i think he learned alot in his last fight
