Fighters to watch in the next Decade

I'm thieving this from Sherdog, pick a guy outside the 6 fighters in the article

http://www.sherdog.com/news/articles/Fighters-to-Watch-in-the-Next-Decade-21739

JDS age 25

GSP age 28

Nice on JDS, and GSP is just a freak of nature, I forget he's still pretty young sometimes

I'm gonna go Frankie Edgar (28) and Tyson Griffin (25) tough when u fight in the UFC LW division with BJ Penn, but I really think both of these guys have bright futures. Kenny and Gray are older, 33 and 30 respectively.

And for a smaller name that may be good soon is Matt Veach, age 28

Good call on Tyson. He's already had a TON of fights for a 25 year old.

Hazelett - 23

Benson Henderson...not sure how old he is

Efrain Escudero - 23

Matt Brown - 28

Jake Ellenberger - 24

Johny Hendricks - 26

Steve Cantwell - 23

Shogun - 28

Randy Couture

i got to go with Paul Semtex Daley......i think we are going to see a lot of this guy in the next few years

Since I already have argued about him in another thread, Marius Zaromskis 29.

Not to be a dick, but I have a feeling you are wrong. He's not that good.

Really? I think he might be someone to look out for......I generally dont like british fighters ( something about there fucking cocky attitude) , but i like this guy

That's what these boards are about, I'll argue/discuss differing views with the posters I like the most and least, it's not being a dick.

On Daley, he has good standup and power, he'll win some fights here and there, but he's in the toughest division in terms of high level wrestlers, a guy like Kos would maul him, and more and more guys sprout up like that all the time, look at Bellator.

He's a little undersized. He has solid stand up, but nothing overly special. His wrestling and ground game aren't near up to par with the titans of that division.

He's fun to watch, but I can't see him truly making a mark on the division any more than he already has with his win over the Hitman.

Tyrone Woodley, 170 lbs. I think he's 27.

Bone's almost seems to obvious at this point.

That Sherdoh article is one of the most redunant and useless I've seen. How about a giant collective "um no shit" for that.


At least it's not as bad as the other recent one which claims Strikeforce needs to cut ties with Dream in order to survive, nevermind the fact that partnership has generated a lot of there recent aquistions and has helped to standardize and unify MMA outside the UFC.

That's why I said pick guys outside the 6 chosen, can't think of anyone?

Lymon Good
Aoki (26)
Condit (25 I think)

Nice, Woodley is DEFINITELY a nice prospect.

Hopefully Strikeforce will bring him along a little faster in 2010

Yeah Im pretty sure they said he has graduated from the Challenger Series events, and should be on a big card coming up.

Some of these guys surprisingly have been missed so far -

Eddie Alvarez, Glover Teixeira, Todd Duffee, Dave Herman, Shane del Rosario, Rafael "Feijão" Cavalcante, Joe Warren, Ryan Bader and Luiz Cane.

I woulda picked Soko but his loss to Minowaman via KO no less makes me write him off forever.

Nice on Teixiera man, also Warren, Bader and Cane
