What I mean are, who are the top prospects to be a force in a year or two, or even three years from now.
I realize most will Say Cain and Carwin, but those guys are already a force at heavyweight.
The names that come to mind for me are:
Michael Russow - Last Fight: 12/11/2008 [Adrenaline] 11-1-0
Dave Herman - Last Fight: 5/1/2009 [BellatorFC] 14-1-0
Dos Santos is still very new to the game and he qualifies imo.
Also, there's a guy on tuf coming up named something like 'schoonover' who is 10-0 and could be a dark horse to win. Also, any of the 4 NFL guys on TUF if any of them develop their submission games quickly. NFL athlete + good BJJ = scary.
Roger Gracie, Pe De Pano, Baby Fedor, Xander Riberio, Bobby Lashley and Blagoi Ivanov
Tim Hague
Ray Mercer - :-)
Alexey Oleinik - 24-4-0
Chris Tuchscherer Last Fight: 4/11/2009 [SNMMA] 19-1-0
