Who's your 3 favorite rising stars?
« on: January 28, 2009, 12:42:29 PM »
By who's your favorite 3 risign stars, I mean those that never had belt from main mma organizations, nor title shots and that aren't veterans either, of course!

To be polite, I won't answer my own question first! ;)

I actually like Brock Lesnar.  I think he is good for the sport.  Phallares is good.  Florian is damn good, but He can't beat BJ Penn.  He should get the next shot at the title though.  Kongo will be trouble for a lot of people.

If Thiago Silva could be considered a rising star, then he is one.

Cheick Kongo another one.

Thiago Alves.

Eddie Alvarez - This guy definitely has a bright future
Pat Barry - Sick leg kicks in his MMA debut and his whole kickboxing career, we'll see how he rounds out. Could be an exciting addition to the UFC heavyweight division
Demian Maia - Sick, Sick BJJ. If he can develop some decent striking, he'll give lots of guys fits.

Really though my favorite up and comers are Gegard Mousasi and Satoru Kitaoka; but they hold the DREAM middleweight and Sengoku Lightweight belts respectively. Both of those guys have bright bright future

Rousimar Palhares - if he can learn to strike going to kick ass
Demian Maia - just f-ing awesome to watch someone so masterful in a discipline   
Kenny Florian - I think many of you agree

GSP kind of answered my question for his weight class:

BZ: In your opinion, who are some of the lesser known welterweights that you feel will be champions some day?

GSP: There are so many talented fighters in the division.  Thiago Alves, Anthony Johnson, Jake Shields.  There are so many good guys that it’s hard to say.
