Eric "Indio" Silva (13-2) only 27 yrs old. No big name wins

John "The Hitman" Hathaway (15-1) only 24 yrs old. Wins over R. Story, D. Sanchez, K. McKray, and P. Taylor

Rory "Ares" Mcdonald (12-1) 22 yrs old. Wins over M. Pyle, Nate Diaz, and almost beat Condit, but lost at the last minute

Eric Silva in my opinion he is very impressive.

Rory Mcdonald I was impressive in the condit fight if he would have lasted we might have seen him fighting for #1 contender spot

Based on the fact that youth is on his side, and he already looks like a top 15, I have to go with Rory. He was tested against Condit, and fared very well for being so young. I can't say Silva, merely because he's 27, unproven, and both of his fights in the UFC happened in Brazil. He's got upside, but I would say less than Rory. I'm not sure what to make of Hathaway. Can't say that I can remember one of his fights. So, I'm not sure about him.

Rory Macdonald! Erick Silva has all the skills to become a champ also though.......I'm still undecided about John Hathaway

Siyar is a tad one-dimensional. I think Erick Silva and Rory MacDonald will be top 3 within the next year.
