Donald Cerrone - Won't make it to the upper echelon, but definitely is improving his wrestling and will stick around
Danny Castillo - probably not...
Danny Downes - doubtful... looks like they are using him to try and build up the Mongolian Wolf
Edward Faaloloto - we'll see how he looks tonight
Ben Henderson - personally I think the sky is the limit for this guy. Maybe not UFC champ but he's really good.
Chris Horodecki - in his IFL days I thought he was headed for big things, but he just hasn't improved much...
Macjiej Jewtuszko - not sure yet if his KO over Njokuani was a fluke or not?
Will Kerr - possibly... he definitely came back strong and dominated his last fight
Ricardo Lamas - probably not...
Zack Micklewright - if he wins tonight
Anthony Njokuani - I think he's overrated and won't last, but we'll see.
Bart Palaszewski - not sure. well-rounded and experienced but I don't know about getting many UFC wins.
Anthony Pettis - wow, his last fight was awesome. I think he'll stick around.
Dustin Poirier - if he wins tonight maybe
Ed Ratcliff - 9MM is not bad but UFC-level might be hard for him
Shane Roller - His wrestling is good enough but he won't make it if he doesn't improve elsewhere.
Kamal Shalorus - He's tough enough! and his wrestling is good, but I dunno. You can't get tagged over and over like that.
Jamie Varner - A good WEC fighter but he has already been in the UFC and not made it. Will be hard for him to stay.
Tiequan Zhang - Not sure he's good enough but he's Chinese/Mongolian and they'll feed him winnable fights to try and make him a star.
What do you guys think?

Cerrone, Henderson, Pettis for sure.
Almost everyone else it will be survival of the fittest. Of those 20 or so guys I bet only 6-7 of them are still in the UFC a year from today.
Sucks but that's the way it goes.

Some of these guys might not take a big bump in competition right away.

Njokuani might continue to prove you wrong bro.
Micklewright got pasted last night (haven't seen the fight yet but it sounds bad) so he is probably not gonna last. Poirier obviously gets a boost up.
Cerrone will be competitive - he is a lot improved since even a year ago.
Danny Castillo is not bad. Not that he will be UFC champ but I'd give him some respect.
This will all be interesting to see shake out.

Cerrone going to be a force just wait and see. He a match or more for most anyone in that division in both speed and stand up.
