Jesse Butler
Featherweight | 29 | West Monroe, Louisiana | 11-4 | Win streak: 4 | 1 KO/TKO, 8 Submissions
Butler has quietly been on a solid run over at Fury FC. He’s beaten two former UFC fighters in Masio Fullen and Dimitre Ivy. That being impressive alone, he also finished both guys. In his last fight, he got a clean knockout win but the majority of his wins have come by submission. Butler is well-rounded and at 29 he’s at his peak. A UFC shot could come first but Dana White’s Contender Series is the most-likely option.
Gabriel Bonfim
Welterweight | 24 | Brasilia, Federal District, Brazil | 12-0 | Win streak: 12 | 3 KO/TKO, 9 Submissions
Bonfim has been fighting for LFA lately, that being his last two fights, and he’s looked great. Right now he’s one of the most talked-about prospects out of Brazil. Bonfim is a long striker who at times gets drawn into brawls but his accuracy and power have held up. Where he excels more is on the mat using his superior jiu-jitsu. He has nine submission wins all coming by a way of a choke. Bonfim is a must for the Contender Series.
