    I don't necessarily think this guy will be a P4P talent but this is as good a place as any to post this, anyway:

    Venezuelan lightweight Maximo 'Maxi' Blanco; 6-2-1 (6 KOs) with one loss by DQ for a hellacious soccer kick Wanderlei would have been proud of. A freestyle wrestler but he is really known for his explosive stand up. He is so unpredictable and possesses scary power, absolutely mauling guys and knocking them out cold. The guy is a total nutter.

    Marlon Sandro deserves a shout as well. I think the WEC will come calling for him soon (well they should anyway).

    So I watched Jones vs Matushenko and I have to say he is very athletically gifted. I was impressed.

    Bones and JDS.. Head and shoulders above the rest. If Aldo gets some exposure, maybe he is for real. But I need to see him against a star like Edgar or Kenny first.

    Aldo fights at 145, and could fight at 135 if he wanted, I don't think it's fair to say he needs to fight LW's. He has also beaten the best the 145 division has to offer, I would call him quite proven.

    maybe not quite pfp potential, but great up and comer.

    Dominick Cruz has looked impressive so far as well.

    Definitely Jon Bones Jones and Jose Aldo. I think King Mo is worth a mention as well. He has a ton of natural talent including power and speed backed by a lot of heart.

    He just completely dominated the two best fighters the Featherweight division has to offer, I'd say that qualifies him as "for real".

    JDS at HW. He clearly deserves a shot but the UFC are stalling him.

    Bones Jones at LHW. He clearly could be positioned for a title shot but is being stalled.
    These are the main 2 guys.

    At 185, I dunno. At 170, I think Hathaway is the most intriguing but has a long way to go. At 155, I need to think. Not sure at the lower weights either.

    Bones and JDS.

    Amir Sandollah i like this kid. He has great bjj and a good chin. He just have to work on his stand up and he'll be a serious contender.

    Jim Miller--needs to get a title shot soon

    Phil Davis is still young and could improved.
