I am not sure if I agree with some of them and I think #3 should be one spot higher.

I disagree with Danzig and Houston being on there since no one should've expected much from them anyway.

Yeah, Danzig showed some promise but he was never gonna be a top fighter.

I never really understood why Houston was rated so highly either, I thought it was pretty clear from the start that he was just a decent brawler.


Oh and Sokky should definitely be number 2 IMO. Belfort's still had a decent career and if it wasn't for Randy it would probably look a lot better but Sokky just got straight up exposed.

IDK I think Belfort should kinda be higher.

Sokky was more exposed we all as an MMA community overrated him because of TDD and Power.

Belfort had all the skills but he gassed too quickly and was just a mental midget. The guy broke so easily it was insane and I don't want to hear about it being because of his sister because while that was terrible and I'm sure it effected it the guy quit against Saku long before that happened.

Travis Lutter shouldn't have been on the list, and Brandon Vera should have been in his spot IMO.

IDK I would say Travis Lutter should be.

He obviously has the skills to be a top 5 MW I mean he mounted Franklin and Anderson he just never worked on GnP or conditioning enough to be effective and then when they got out of the mount he got his ass kicked due to his shitty stand up.

I would say Dean Lister might belong on this list since he never learned how to adapt his game.

But there wasn't really hype behind Travis Lutter. That's what a "bust" is to me, a guy everyone can't wait to see "destroy" his respective division, but falls short completely. Cro Cop's perfect for #1, but Lutter never really was hyped to be anything special in the first place. He's a mid-tier MW with good BJJ, decent takedowns, no stand-up, and shit cardio.
