Another promising fighter is Shavkat Rakhmonov. The Kazakh fighter now holds the tenth spot in the UFC welterweight rankings, and all indications are that he will soon rank among the best. With 16 victories under his belt and no losses to date, he is well-positioned to one day hold the title.

Usman Nurmagomedov

Another fighter that has everything to become one of the best in his decision is Usman Nurmagomedov. This fighter is also a cousin of Khabib and from what I have seen in his last fights he is not only good at grappling but also at striking, something that I really like and I´m 100% sure that in the future he can become one of the greatest in the game.

Raul Rosas Jr

Finally, in the first place, I couldn’t have had a better fighter than Raul Rosas Jr. Becoming the youngest fighter to sign with UFC. The Mexican fighter is becoming a start in the sport and the expectations for him are very high. I wouldn’t be surprised if he could manage to become the youngest champion in the sport as well in the near future.
