YES I KNOW.

I hate Rory MacDonald, but frankly he deserves the spot I gave him.

These are mine for now. I'm sure there are some I'm missing or should have included but didn't. Prospect for me is someone who is up and coming and outside my top 10. Once in the top 10 they move from prospect to contender.

I can not believe Gustafsson is getting no love!

bump.

changed the list criteria, now prospects are fighters who haven't fought elite or elite-ish fighters (exception is with Rory MacDonald because Condit wasn't elite at the time).

I didn't change mine... but I think its great I gave love to Gus back in Jan!  Renan is getting a #1 shot.. Dantas is now a champ... I think I killed this rankings back in Jan!

By the way, what qualifies someone as a prospect for this ranking?  Obviously you're counting some UFC fighters, but after a certain number of fights do they stop being a prospect?  And do you rank based on perceived potential?

my ranking when I made it didn't have a UFC fighter on it, I'm gonna have to edit it and remove DeBlass even though we haven't seen him at full strength in the UFC yet

It's all opinion... prospects... who do you think will one day rise to the occasion... who do you think will one day be a champ?  They stop being a prospect once they're in contention imo.
