It’s a great week for potential UFC talent and most particularly the bantamweight division. Cody Garbrandt, Thomas Almeida, and Aljamain Sterling are all in action and all have the look of potential future title contenders. So, we’re taking this chance to really dive into the division structure and why so many of the bright young stars at 135 seem to be rising so fast.
Of course that’s not all we’re talking about, and you’ll find a list below of the other, non-UFC prospects we’re looking out for this week.
