Investing in Fighters stock

Okay,
Looking at the top 40 lists for the major weight divisions, if you had to pick a few fighters(or one) that in 1 to 2 years will considerably went up the list, who would it be? What is a good example of fighters that will go down on the lists? Much like investing in a stock that will be up or down in a year or 2.

My good investments.
1a. Sergie are people nuts discounting him for one fight? Great investment
1. Jon Fitch
2. Babulu
3. Sam Morgan
4. Matt Lindland

My Bad investments, where they will be ranked lower than Currently

1. W. Silva. Chuck is the Obvious number one in the UFC 205. Many Many people agree that as far as talent goes Silva is either 3rd or 4th. Arona is slightly better, with effectively a win and a tie, and Shogun is with little doubt in my mind better. Lil Nog/Silva is 50/50.

2. Sylvia Even though he is not ranked that high, I see him sliding lower once UFC gets any talent in HW

3. Big Nog - Sad, but I think he will lose to Barnett, and Mirko would beat him, Fedor is obvious. Big nog is always ranked no. 2

I know this sounds weird, but where does Ricco have to go but up? Buy low, sell high. If he keeps working with Tito, he could be dangerous. An in shape Ricco is a dangerous fighter, and he still moves like an athlete even though he is a butterball.

You mean something cheap like an IPO? I would probably go with Goulet.

Ricco is a good example, his attitude sucks. " IF you pay me a lot, I will lose weight and train, then I can beat anyone. It doesnt work that way, Motivate yourself, get a couple good wins and then you will be given bigger opps, then big paychecks

Thales Leites, Shinya Aoki, and Poai Suganuma.

Bank on it.

Hmmmm...

1. Ricco: Flat out the guy has the potential to be top 3 in the world again...and he is cheap as hell right now.

2. Fedor: Low risk, solid return. You need a GE or Microsoft in your portfolio.

3. Melvin: Once again, cheap as hell right now. also, he has the UFC behind him, which should lead to a good build up and positive marketing.

4. Aoki: Lots of bargains in the Shooto ranks. They are not well known in the USA, but there are many bargains considering their talents.

5. Couture: Here's my longshot. Not much demand for his stock since he's retired, but I see the $$$ luring him back into the game within 2 years.

Keep an eye on Brock Larson. His only loss is by decision to Jon Fitch. He's really good
