Late Bloomer Champs

My favourite story in MMA is when veteran fighters who have been under the radar or just simply forgotten going on a run and becoming champions. Like Robbie Lawler, Mike Bisping and Charles Oliveira.

Are there are any other veteran fighters currently fighting that could surprise everyone and become champs? Examples; Neil Magny, Kelvin Gastelum, Michael Johnson, Steven Thompson etc etc.

And Michael bisping (never a fighter I rooted for but was soo happy that he eventually got the belt
