Top 25 Pro MMA Prospects with Five Fights or Less

Zumso Zuraev
Pro record: 5-0
Amateur record: 0-0
Weight class: Heavyweight
Age: 29
Fighting out of Grozny, Chechnya, Russia

I think very highly of Zumso Zuraev. So good I think he’s already one of the best heavyweight prospects there is. Zuraev is insanely strong being able to bully guys around the cage. Grappling is still growing but his physical strength in the wrestling and on top is going to be tough to beat at heavyweight. Awesome wrestling and heavy hands. Watch out for this big guy.

Khamzat Maaev
Pro record: 3-0
Amateur record: 0-0
Weight class: Welterweight
Age: 22
Fighting out of Turkey/Russia

Khamzat “Borz” Maaev may sound familiar to Khamzat “Borz” Chimaev and you can hear and see the familiarity in both. There are indeed different fighters and Maaev is his own animal. There isn’t a lot of full fight footage on Maaev but from what’s available he checks all the boxes. He’s going to get a lot of attention the more he fights and it’s going to be warranted.
