Current Top 5 Prospects by Division

BloodyElbow recently took a close look at prospects around the sport.  They (as far as I know) did not use set criteria like we do, but it is interesting to see that some fights are on both lists.  Furthermore, it will be interesting to re-visit this and see how many fighters are eventually picked up by known organizations.

The following prospects fulfilled the following criteria:

• Have not fought in any of the “Big 15” organizations.  Please see the FAQ for more info.
• Have no more than one defeat.
• Have five wins or more.
• Have fought in the last 450 days.
