Post your top 5 favorite non-Zuffa PROSPECTS of the month!

Curious to see who all your favorite prospects are outside of the UFC! Keep in mind a prospect usually isn't still a prospect after earning himself, say, a Bellator title though smaller organization champions could still be valid. And guys that have 30 MMA fights and are around 30 years old likely aren't the best for "prospect" talk either. Use your discretion

I'm looking to start up a new prospect series for highlighting fighters outside of Zuffa for the websites I write for, so any input is more than welcomed!

I'll post mine after doing some more research. If things go accordingly, our lists should change every month. So for instance, for November.. post your top 5 best/favorite prospects that have fought or will fight within a month of November (Oct, Nov, Dec). Next month it will be prospects that have or will fight within Nov, Dec, Jan. Etc!

Here are some badasses to get started
