Lightweight, Sam Patterson (9-1-1)
It’s crazy how much Patterson isn’t thought of when thinking about top MMA prospects in general. He’s been killing it over in Brave CF. He’s beat tough regional guys like Kamil Magomedov and Yiles Djiroun while beating former UFC fighter Felipe Silva.
Before his pro career, Patterson was a Fightstar welterweight champion of the UK. His striking is a very in-your-face, high-output style. He’s always throwing something different. His straight right is his preferred weapon but his striking as a whole is top-notch. Along with that, his grappling is solid and he has good movement. He’s not thought of because he’s not in Cage Warriors but he is one of the best prospects out of the UK easily.
