I'd say in the last 4/5 years or so we've seen a change change and shuffling of rosters/big names/old schoolers in and out of the UFC but definitely them in particular. Who do you guys think come in to fill their shoes? Are they in the organization already or any young guns out there? Phone Post 3.0

Lots of talent coming out of Ohio and PA in lower weight classes.

Mark Cherico,Khama Worthy and George Comer are all names to look out for. Phone Post 3.0

Guys who aren't in UFC right now, Aljamain Sterling and Frodo Khasbulaev are my top picks. I think both could be upper echelon UFC fighters.

For guys who are already in there? Jared Rosholt at HW, Alex Garcia and Brandon Thatch at WW.

i think Koreshkov will come back strong after his loss to askren. Lots of great young russians coming up

Tiger Sarnavskiy

95% of the names listed so far are no longer prospects imo.

I really felt bad for that kid that night of the Askren fight. He is a good, young, up and coming striker that ran into a grappling animal that evening. Phone Post 3.0

Raoni Barcelos. Fighting tonight at RFA 11. 6-0 as a pro. Shooto Brazil Featherweight champ. Bjj black belt under Laerte Barcelos (his father). Highly successful Freestyle wrestler who was a member of the Brazilian National Wrestling Team. Won a silver medal at the 2006 Pan American Games. Training partner of Aldo and Barao.

Knocked out his last two opponents in devastating fashion. This fight with Tyler Toner should be great. Phone Post 3.0
