MMA future stars!

Ireland · 11-16-2012, 04:50 AM

If we go back 4 years ago Jon Jones had just started in the UFC, Cormier wasnt even pro yet, and Aldo had been a pro for a few years.

Taking this viewpoint is there any future MMA stars we could see in 4 years that have turned pro yet or have just started there carrer.

Il start and suggest vitaly minakov 12-0.......

As soon as I read the thread title I thought of Minakov, the dude destroys opponents.

Keep your eyes open for the Pinto brothers, Anutan and Leo, to make some noise, both top tier strikers.

They are French and have grown up in Thailand. Both still very young with vast MT expereince, Anutan (22) has 141 fights & Leo (19) has 80 fights both as pros in Thailand. They've just made the swicth to MMA so they've time to get try to get to grips with the ground game.

minakov. Completely mad

Aaron Contreras · 11-16-2012, 11:14 AM

He's been a pro for a while but Jordan Mein.

In four years, he'll be 27 (probably still not in his prime, yet) and will be clashing with Rory MacDonald and all hell and the heavens will stand witness.

Yes there's some prospects from that region of the world, they are not all Russian though.
Are people not aware that Russians and folk from the Caucasus are 2 different people ? I guess it doesn't matter.
Do you guys see Sarnivskiy becoming a legit contender eventhough he lost his first test ?

Who is Shabululllalah ?

Rob_Floyd · 11-17-2012, 03:44 AM

When I say Russian, I mean live in or fight out of Russia. Can't say I have looked into their backgrounds.

Ireland · 11-17-2012, 03:09 PM

Any others?
