Who do you guys think is the biggest prospect in MMA?
I don't know that much about MMA but im going to say Gray Maynard.

In relation to the question, Cain Velasquez maybe. Too many to cut down to one really. Anthony Johnson. Jon Jones. And many more.

Shane Carwin.
Valasquez sucks.

I think Cain Velasquez is probably at the top of the "hot" list for prospects. Already in the UFC and being fed cans.
Satoshi Ishii is a gold medalist Judo player looking to transition to MMA. I guess that would make him a hot prospect. (In a very raw sense)
Ben Askren(very decorated ncaa wrestler) is taking up mma. I think he's could be really dangerous if he takes bjj seriously. Very raw.. but a great wrestling base.

Jon Jones, he is still raw but you can see the guy has lots of talent and he is in his early 20s. Another guy I like who is coming up is Luis Cane. The guy is a animal, he can bang, has a solid chin and is a black belt in BJJ. Not seen much of him on the ground so far so its difficult to tell how good his BJJ is. Looking forward to see how Satoshi Ishii does too.

That man, with a good takedown defence, could knock out everyone:D or at least, break their knees:D
Shane Carwin.
Valasquez sucks.
Valasquez does not suck and his fight against HH will show where he is at.

pretty obvious answer. The best prospect and already one of the best fighters in MMA right now is Junior Dos Santos. I just hope he fights Velazquez lol

Roberty Drysdale if he continues, Johnny Hendrix, and if you count guys already in the bigger shows: Dustin Hazelett, Toquinho Palhares, agree with Gray Maynard, Jon Jones, Paulo Thiago has a good start.

Jon Bones Jones. He has sick moves, very athletic.

Thor Silva!
Joseph Benavidez, a disciple of Uriah Faber and fights just like him.

Joachim "Hellboy" Hansen
He would strip BJ of his title given the chance to fight at the UFC

No way is Hellboy a prospect. He's an MMA veteran and proved he can hang with and beat the best.
Vitor Belfort

Shane Carwin looks good but he is already 34
Anthony Rumble Johnson - this guy looks good. He has good stand up, he just needs to improved his ground game and he will be unstoppable :good

Most the best prospects have been mentioned in this thread. Another guy i'm looking forward to see is Andre Galvao. He is meant to be fighting in the Dream Welterweight GP.

2fastbyfar thats a good list. A few on there I completely forgot about.

King Mo is very entertaining. Defo one to look for in the future.
Wilson Reis aswell. I expect the WEC will come a calling for his services soon, although only till the Bellator contract finishes.
How would you guys rate Enzo Mac chances in the UFC now his boxin career looks to be winding down after his ko loss?

demian maia looks strong and also tony bonnello.. rua caught him in a bad position and hes getting old but he has definite potential.. very strong, a great striker and better on the ground than his last fight shows.

^ yea he's fun to watch, defintely a lot of action. I know he tired out a bit but he'll learn to pace himself, plus he's very young. Surely one to watch.

Ben Askren. Is certainly a funkmaster. He's like Gumby.
So if he can learn some striking .....

The Next Rashad Evans, :thumbsup good picks
I think Jorge Masvidal might be a future prospect.

Where the fuck is Goran Reljic? Since his great win vs Gouveia, he didnt fight. And that was a momment ago.

Where the fuck is Goran Reljic? Since his great win vs Gouveia, he didnt fight. And that was a momment ago. I think he is still recovering from an injury. He is dropping down to the middleweight division, looking forward to see how he does.

He's recovering from a back injury and moonlighting as a super hero ([Only registered and activated users can see links]).

Even though he lost in the final of the last TUF, I quite liked the look of Nover. Efrain who won it also looked good.
