Corey, not Merab?

I prefer Corey, I think he has the ability to be champion. Just has to get his mindset focused.

Strickland

 

[IloveTHIS]

Shavkat tho I don't see him being a dominant champion racking up defenses

 

[JKS]

For flyweights it's royval but i agree with the rest.

I'll take Royval at FW

 

[filthybliss]

none of these picks are bad besides khamzat and corey. its money on merab for me and strickland/izzy/jared/whittaker/and Costa are all better than khamzat, he's very untested in the mw division for me to say he's 2nd especially considering that his debut at MW was against a deteriorated and unprepared usman that likely would of won if it was 5 rounds.

Maycee Barber

I voted for Volkanovski, but I’m shocked by the small amount of votes for Oliveira. He’s clearly N.2 in this list.

Max
