    "The Machine"
    17-4-0
    W vs Petr Yan (11/3/2023 UFC) - Not just outwrestled Yan, outstruck him as well. Crazy cardio machine. Honestly think he beats Aljo as well if they did fight

    Cory "Sandman" Sandhagen
    Cory Sandhagen
    "Sandman"
    17-4-0
    W vs Marlon Vera (25/3/2023 UFC) - Really has learned to mix it up and just win across the board
    W vs Song Yadong (17/9/2022 UFC) - Lost first 2 rounds but Outworked Song and showed Song how one-dimensional and short-sighted his game was. Nasty elbows into the charging Song.

    "Kung Fu Kid"

    W vs Ricky Simon (29/4/2023 UFC)

    Sean O'Malley
    "Suga"
    18-1-0, 1 NC
    W vs Petr Yan (22/10/2022 UFC) - ******** decision, but the adage goes "Never take it to the judges". Unfortunately gotta rank according to the result.

    L vs Sean O'Malley (22/10/2022 UFC) - ******** decision, but the adage goes "Never take it to the judges". Unfortunately gotta rank according to the result.
  8. 8

    Rob Font

    Marlon "Chito" Vera
    Marlon Vera
    "Chito"
    23-9-1
    L vs Cory Sandhagen (25/3/2023 UFC) - When he tries to do something, it tends to work. Too bad he doesn't try often enough. Blind judge who gave 3 rounds to Vera ought to be fired.

    "The Young Punisher"  |  20-9-0, 2 NC
    W vs Chris Gutierrez (15/4/2023 UFC) - Pressure and the early knockdown won him the fight. Gutierrez looked to have landed more in R2 and 3 but the more "impactful" strikes seemed to come from Munhoz

    Chris Gutierrez
    "El Guapo"  |  20-5-2

    W vs Frankie Edgar (12/11/2022 UFC) - Nice technical striking and put Edgar to literal sleep with a nice knee to cap of Edgar's career.

    Umar Nurmagomedov
    Umar Nurmagomedov
    17-0-0
    W vs Raoni Barcelos (14/1/2023 UFC) - Surprisingly never really took the fight to the ground and just won the stand-up completely. Very surprising KO, but his striking work throughout the round was nice to watch.

    W vs Tony Gravely (11/3/2023 UFC) -

    L vs Victor Henry (15/10/2022 UFC) - Looked slower than when he faced Bareclos and just kept getting countered. His front kicks also kept getting caught resulting in multiple punches to the face

    W vs Raoni Barcelos (22/1/2022 UFC) - Showed much better striking and range control (with the teep to the body) and also better clinch game
  27. 26

    W vs Rani Yahya (22/4/2023 UFC) -
    W vs Julio Arce (12/11/2022 UFC) - Nice range control and accurate hands. Played a bit of a boring strategic game utilising the clinch to stall out a bit and get the back in R2. Got a good flush knockdown with his jab.

    Douglas Silva de Andrade
    "D'Silva"  |  29-5-0, 1 NC

    W vs Naoki Inoue (6/5/2023 RIZIN)
    W vs Soo Chul Kim (31/12/2022 Bellator x RIZIN) - Disappointing win. Aside from a good first round, kept trying to take Kim down without doing much and was losing the striking
  33. 32

    Luan Lacerda
    Luan Lacerda
    12-3-0
    L vs Cody Stamann (21/01/2023 UFC) - Great body strike vs body strikes battle, but Lacerda should have done more with his leg kicks and piling on the pressure in R1 and R2. Very Aldo-esque in his technique.
  34. 33

    Soo Chul Kim
    Soo Chul Kim
    21-7-1
    L vs Juan Archuleta (31/12/2022 Bellator x RIZIN) - Fun herky jerky stance. Great body upper cuts in R3 that looked to have hurt Archuleta multiple times. Could have possibly won under different judges
    W vs Hiromasa Ougikubo (25/9/2022 RIZIN) - Surprising solid victory over Ougikubo
  35. 34

    Raoni Barcelos

  37. 36

    Mario Bautista
    Mario Bautista
    14-2-0
    W vs Guido Cannetti (11/3/2023 UFC) - Aside from a sloppy moment getting tripped and Cannetti's leg kicks, pushed the pace outwrestled, slammed and choked the veteran Cannetti
    W vs Benito Lopez (5/11/2022 UFC) - Very dominant victory. Nice striking especially to the body, and when he took it to the ground absolutely dominated. Good submission attempts before finally getting the armbar

    "Soncora"  |  15-0-0, 1 NC
    W vs Saimon Oliveira (21/01/2023 UFC) - Started off a bit slow, but when he found his opening he pounced. Nice boxing technique a-la Diaz brothers / Holloway.
    W vs Brandon Lewis (13/9/2022 DWCS) - Won the first 2 rounds, but faded a bit in the 3rd
  41. 40

    Rinya "Hybrid" Nakamura
    Rinya Nakamura
    "Hybrid"  |  9-0-0
    W vs Toshiomi Kazama (4/2/2023 UFC) - Dude looks scary, but seems to swing with too much power. Not sure if he can keep it up against higher level opponents and in later rounds.
    W vs Shohei Nose (23/10/2022 Road to UFC) - Quite good power in those hands but got clipped a few times. Nevertheless was definitely winning and landing very effective blows before the KO
    W vs Gugun Gusman (10/6/2022 Road to UFC) - Made easy work of a ONE veteran
  42. 41

    W vs Marcos Breno (21/4/2023 Bellator) -
    L vs Raufeon Stots (9/12/2022 Bellator) - Too one-dimensional. Did well to push the pace, get the takedowns and secure control, but was taking too many strikes when the fight was standing.
  47. 46

    Cameron "MSP" Saaiman
    Cameron Saaiman
    "MSP"  |  9-2-0

    "No Love"  |  14-6-0
    W vs Trevin Jones (4/3/2023 UFC) - Safer but still extremely effective style in R1 and 2, making the best of his quickness and agility. Yet almost blew it in R3 taking a hit from Jones.

    Da'Mon Blackshear
    "Da Monster"  |  14-6-1
    L vs Farid Basharat (4/3/2023 UFC) - Goes from very strong grappling to very sloppy grappling very fast. If he puts it together he's fine, but just getting taken down easily is not the way to do it.
