25 (More) MMA Fighters to Watch

I do these lists of up and coming fighters to keep an eye on about twice a year, and ion the short history of this list many stars have emerged. Former alumni of this list include Matt Mitrione, Cole Konrad, Chad Mendes, Brendan Schaub, John Hathaway, George Sotiropoulos, Muhammed Lawal, Shane Carwin, Nate Diaz, Joseph Benavidez, Cain Velasquez, Gray Maynard, and Ryan Bader. Not too shabby.
