Each division has a few. Here's my list of those fighters that may be somewhat overlooked at first, but has potential to be a champion someday....broken down by divisions in the two major orgs.

BW: Dominick Cruz (if it wasn't for the accident I would say Will Ribeiro as well)
FW: Raphael Assuncao, Wagnney Fabiano
LW: Spencer Fisher, Joe Lauzon
WW: Dong Hyun Kim, Yoshiyuki Yoshida
MW: Alan Belcher, Rousimar Palhares
LHW: Luiz Cane, Krzysztof Soszynski
HW: Junior Dos Santos, Pat Barry



These are just my opinions. What are yours?
not bad but personally I don't think DHK, Barry or Krystof could ever possibly win a title.

bw- Tamura
fw- assuncao
lw- Nate Diaz- has lost his last two but he's still young and extremely talented. I expect him to mature as well as his brother has.
ww- yoshida, John Howard
mw- Aaron Simpson
lhw- cane, Ryan Bader
hw- Dos Santos, Todd Duffee

When Overeem was losing at LHW, Anderson was losing to Welterweights, think about it.
