Dan Henderson. Off to a bad start in the ufc but i think that will change in the future. Matt Horwich looks good. He is making his debut but depending on how he does will determine alot of things. i like him but we haven't seen him against UFC caliber guys. Oh and Glover Texiera...sorry i think i slaughtered the spelling on the last name. That guy is good. Amir Sadollah is awesome, and fun to watch and i think and hope he will do good. Unfortunatly they are throwing him cans right now. sorry i named like 4 guys but they just came to mind

Glover I think has a big upside. I still like Mac Danzig, he is strong enough and well rounded that in time, could develop into a stong contender. Maynard is progressing nicely as well. I know Brock has been talked about to death but is still raw as far as MMA is concerned and still has a high ceiling. Goran Reljic is a guy who I think could be dangerous as he develops. Just to name a few.

well obviously Cain Velasquez...no explanation needed.
i would say watch out for Jon Jones. that dude is no joke. he hasn't even been training a whole year yet and he says he doesn't even train full time. this guy is going to be a beast when he gets into a good training camp and gets some more experience. he is 6-0...and all of his fights are in 2008. and not to mention he totally out-classed Gusmao who was supposed to be the up and comer that would one day be champion. well, Jon Jones has stolen all the hype from Andre and is using it for himself. i can't wait to see him fight...this dude is going to be a beast and by the time he reaches his peak Wandy, Chuck, Hendo and some other solid LHW won't even be fighting anymore.

I have high hopes for Goran Reljic I really believe that he has a great chance at being a future title holder. Also Demian Maia is one to keep an eye on.

Matt Horwich.
The guy is retarded strong and can take a ton of damage. He wears guys down then taps them.

Can't believe I'm only the second to mention Demian Maia. I should get him to break all of your arms...

Anderson Silva is only 33 and Maia is 30 (turning 31 in November). as much as i have hyped up Maia i cannot bring myself to say that he will be champion so long that Anderson Silva is in the UFC. the only chance Maia has is if Anderson gets bored and either moves up or retires in the next 5 years.

Who says that Maia wouldn't beat Anderson? I think he could tap him.
