What is a prospect? I think someone who is a relatively young age, exhibits more potential than peers, has room for improvements, and is active.
I'm excluding anyone under organizations such as UFC, Bellator, and WSOF, and Rizin. Even though some can still be considered prospects, they are well known already and have been signed to a big organization.
