UFC: The Top Prospects in Each Weight ClassThough there have been some dominant champions recently, the UFC is a company built on evolution in which the top of the food chain seems to be in constant shift. With the influx of new talent being signed seemingly on a weekly basis, Dana White and the UFC has done an excellent job of keeping their champions looking great while also maintaining fan interest by creating up-and-comers at every weight class. The UFC added both the 145-pound (featherweight) and 135-pound (Bantamweight) divisions to their roster recently when they completed the merger with the WEC. Many UFC fans are completely unfamiliar with these weight classes so now is a good time to look at some of the top prospects in each of the weight classes, including the two new, very exciting divisions.

Great picks, but I would have thrown Daniel Roberts(Welterweight) in there too. Guy's 12-1, with 8 of those wins being 1st round submissions. Very impressive up-and-comer.

Only two little mistakes in there, and they are just little bits of mis-information.
Demetrious Johnson had three fights in the WEC, getting dominated by Brad Pickett at WEC 48 before the Pace and Page wins.
(On Chad Mendes' slide,) Aldo vs Hominick isn't rumoured. It's happening IF Hominick beats George Roop in a couple weeks.
Other than that, it's a fantastic read and I agree with all of your list. I agree with the poster above me saying Daniel Roberts should be in there, and I think Mark Bocek and Alan Belcher deserve spots too.
Every fighter-specific piece was pretty dead on and informative. I liked it dude, keep it up.

I personally think 2011 will be a great year for Dennis Siver but I do agree with the rest of your suggestions

Although I wouldn't consider some of these guys "prospects", I still think this is a good enough list.

For some reason, my slide on Jim Miller went missing. It's back though. Thanks!
