United States
Of course, the US is the number one country where talent is looked at for obvious reasons. Austin Bashi (11-0) is the best prospect out of the US in my opinion. No prospect in the US has a better resume than Bashi. Bashi has beaten good regional guys like Askar Askar, Pipe Vargas, Chris San Jose, and Erion Zekthi while being the Lights Out Championship bantamweight champion. The wrestling is top-notch and he has solid cardio. Bashi is already so good now and he’s going to be great in the future.
Uruguay
Uruguay is a country with an abundance of young talent. In the next few years, we will be hearing about a lot more signing to the UFC. I’m a fan of Luciano Pereira (13-1) in the flyweight division. At 125 “El Torito” packs one hell of a punch, kick, and ground and pound. He will just march forward throwing bomb after bomb. Not too much technique but it flashes. His ground game altogether has looked competent.
Uzbekistan
An country where it’s tough to narrow the choice down to one fighter is Uzbekistan. That’s because there are a couple of fighters that seem like they’re at the same level. Of the few possible options, I went with the undefeated Khotam Boynazarov (7-0). With improvements still to be made on the feet Boynazarov is a strong physical wrestler. If he gets his hands together he will take guys for a ride. More notable is his constant pressure and strength. Boynazarov still needs more experience but he’s looked good so far.
