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.
