#2. Danaa 'Storm' Batgerel
After his UFC debut did not go his way, losing a decision to Heili Alateng, Danaa Batgerel returned with a fire lit under him. 'Storm' picked up three consecutive first-round knockout stoppages, finishing Kevin Natividad, Guido Cannetti, and Brandon Davis.
At UFC Fight Night: Blaydes vs. Daukaus, Batgerel will take on talented striker Chris Gutierrez in one of the hidden gem fights of the night. Gutierrez will certainly be the highest level kickboxer Batgerel has faced in the octagon, but the high pressure pace 'Storm' can put on his opponents should be another to stifle the flashy strikes of his opponent.

Batgerel is quietly climbing into the bantamweight division, and another big win over Gutierrez may well see him with a number next to his name on Tuesday. There is stiff competition in the 135 lb division but should 'Storm' continue what he is already doing, then it will be hard to deny him.
#1. Manon 'The Beast' Fiorot
Ever since losing her first ever pro MMA bout in a split decision to Leah McCourt, Manon 'The Beast' Fiorot has been on an absolute tear. The French prospect has a record of 8-1, with six finishes.
Already 3-0 in the UFC, Fiorot takes on former title challenger Jennifer Maia in yet another high stakes fight hidden in the undercard. 'The Beast' finished both Victoria Leonardo and Tabatha Ricci via TKO in round two, whilst a third-round war with Mayra Bueno Silva forced Fiorot to demonstrate her well rounded game.
Maia is a tough opponent who has experience fighting some of the best in the division. Fiorot will have to up her game once again to come out with the win here, but a big victory would have a major impact on the landscape of the women's flyweight division.
