Richie Miranda (12-1)
At 31, many may not consider Richie Miranda still a prospect. While I kind of agree with that statement the truth is he has one of the best resumes in regional MMA globally. The reigning LFA lightweight champ beat two undefeated prospects. He showcased heart, grittiness and the ability to provide a show if that’s his path to win which was something he lacked in previous fights.
By the end of the year Miranda must be part of a big promotion. While his ceiling is the most limited of the talent highlighted in this list, he can at least be a midcarder that provides good fights for multiple years
