Hype trains you want to believe
Hype-trains have a tendency to eventually get derailed, but every now and then they turn into the real deal (remember when Anderson Silva was a hyped UFC newcomer?).
My definition of hyped: Youngster making waves in lower promotions (Michael Page), touted prospects (Erick Silva, Rory MacDonald), fighters who've made a splash in their last 2-3 fights (Abel Trujillo), successful veterans stepping it up a notch (Glover Teixeira, Hector Lombard), UFC champion potential (Overeem, Gustafsson), Champions in lower promotions (Michael Chandler, Pat Curran, Gilbert Melendez).
Feel free to put your own spin on the definition of hyped :)
You can rank either by how much you believe in the hype or how much you want the hype to be true (I chose the latter, so don't be surprised if you see some weird names at the top of the list :) ) ... it'll only make the ranking more interesting ...
Which hype-train do feel safe to stay on board?
