Top 5 mma talents that you have probably not heard of but you should!!!

in #sports7 years ago

No.5 MacKenzie Dern (5-0)
Multiple gold winner in many world and other elite championship in both brazilian jiu jitsu and grappling with only 24 year old. Altough she has more than rich career, she is truly determined to make it even bigger with transition to mma stage. In the octagon she has been more than good with 5 wins on count in LFA, LFC and Invincta FC and even her stand up progress is evident through fights. With abnormal good ground game she still needs to work up on her striking skill but you can't unsee great potential in her. Not only fighting skills outshine her, as she is one of the most attractive female fighters which might assure her great promotion through the way to the top. Her UFC debut is going to happen at UFC 222 on March 3 in Las Vegas against Ashley Yoder who is primarily grappler but surely not on Dern's level so that is excpected to be easy win for American female fighter Mackenzie.

No. 5 Roberto soldic (13-2)
23 year old Croatin welterweight born in Bosnia and Herzegovina who is currently champion in five mma organisation including some of the biggest European organisation such as Final fighting championship, Superior FC and KSW surely deserve his place on this list. He also had a dream debut in Cage Warriors with head kick knockout againt UFC prospect Lewis Long. There is no doubt that Roberto will join UFC very soon after he has won almost everything possible outside UFC.

No.3 Aleksandar Rakic (9-1, 1-0 UFC)
As UFC light heavyweight desperately needs a new blood maybe the 26 year old Serbian born and raised in Austria is exactly what UFC needs. Real athlete with great physical characteristic, 196 centimeters tall with furious striking background. His only loss was in his first proffessional fight but since that he has 8 win-streak. In UFC debut he went through UFC veterean Francimar Barroso and won with unanonimus decision, outclassing Barroso in every segment of that fight. In his upcoming fight he is going to confront with experienced whrestler Gadzhimurad Antigulov who is No 12 on the light heavyweight on the UFC on FOX in Florida on February 24 and that will be real test of his capabilities to shine on the great scene.

No. 2 Tai ''Bam Bam'' Tuivasa (6-0, 1-0 UFC)
New refresh in UFC heawyweight, Australian 24 year old who has trained alongside Mark Hunt holds fascinant and promising record of six knockout wins all in first round. He justified his ˝bam bam˝ nickname in UFC debut win against Rashad Coulter with astonishing flying knee that provided him the Performance of the night bonus. It seems that UFC is patiently building him a way to the top with giving him style adequate opponets like Cyril Asker who is his next rival on February 11 on the UFC 221 in Perth, Australia.

No. 1 Zabit Magomedsharipov (14-1, 2-0 UFC)
26 year old, 186 cm tall Dagestan one of the most complete fighter, who competes in UFC featherweight is surely going to be a great sensation in mma world. On the first sight skinny and very tall fighter for featherweight class, but that skinny constitution is invisible in his fights because he does everything what he wants with great ease. Zabit always moves forward and try to finish his job in the most dominant way including various attractive moves such as high and round kicks, spinning elbows and delightfull striking combination. His UFC debut has shown variety of his striking skill but not only that he is dominant in stand up but also is a great whrestler which he has shown in his second UFC fight where he successfully made 11 takedowns against Sheymon Moraes which is record in UFC featherweight category. His great performances which he both finished with submission assured him 2 Perfomance of the night bonuses. He yet doesn't have arranged fight but for sure he is aiming high for someone in top 10 as he asked for Yair Rodriguez who is another attractive fighter too and currently ranked as No. 10 .
