#2. Ludovit 'Mr. Highlight' Klein - UFC featherweight
When Ludovit Klein made his UFC debut against Shane Young at UFC 253, fans were instantly drawn to his exciting fighting style, a product of years spent on the kickboxing circuits.
As a result, he went into his second UFC fight against Mike Trizano as a heavy favorite. However, Trizano defied the odds by utilizing the full skillset afforded to a mixed martial artist, picking up a unanimous decision victory.

However, fans should not be put off Klein based on that result alone. He is still very much a rising prospect. At UFC Fight Night: Ladd vs. Dumont, Klein takes on the always-entertaining Nate Landwehr.
Landwehr has a reputation for putting on incredibly exciting matchups. However, his fighting style often results in him being hit hard and regularly, something that Klein will be looking to take full advantage of.
#1. Manon 'The Beast' Fiorot - UFC women's flyweight
French MMA seems to be on the rise as of late. UFC women's flyweight Manon Fiorot is yet another fighter who looks like she may well have the potential to be a future contender.
She is riding a seven-fight win streak with wins at EFC, UAE Warriors and two stoppages in the UFC. Both Tabatha Ricci and Victoria Leonardo crumbled against the power of 'The Beast'.
However, when she faces off against Mayra Bueno Silva this weekend, Fiorot will be competing against her most skilled opponent to date. This will be Fiorot's chance to truly announce that she is a rising problem for the rest of the 125-pound division.
Considering Valentina Shevchenko's dominance at flyweight, a fighter with the combination of Fiorot's skillset and physicality could rapidly gain hype as a potential contender who could offer 'Bullet' a new challenge.
