Women's bantamweight is the promotion's shallowest division, and women's featherweight is hanging on by a thread (in terms of its existence), so there's a good chance Nunes will be the one we're talking about soon enough. Nunes is 3-0 in the UFC, and she'll surely keep climbing. Blanchfield is one of the top prospects in the entire sport, full stop. His control on the ground, ability to get opponents in bad positions, and ground-and-pound make him one of the scariest up-and-comers in the sport. A win over Krylov would result in a big leap in the rankings for Spann, and in a shallow division like 205 pounds, that might be all it takes to officially join the shortlist of title contenders. Muniz's suffocating grappling is a stylistic nightmare for the top names in the division, like Alex Pereira and Israel Adesanya, so if he continues to climb toward the top, there's a decent chance Muniz will rule over the division sooner than later. But even more impressive is how those four fights ended: A 45-second mounted guillotine choke, a TKO in under six minutes, a rear-naked choke in just over four minutes, and a rear-naked choke in the second round. He has a suffocating style - similar to Khabib Nurmagomedov and many of his other countrymen - that will be hard for anyone to stop. Things are finally clicking for Kape, and if he gets past Perez, he'll be well on his way to earning a shot at Brandon Moreno's title. Of course, the last name speaks for itself. Without further ado, here is one up-and-coming UFC fighter from each division poised to catapult into title contention shortly. That's the name of the game - or sport.
