#5. Won't justify: No.12-ranked UFC flyweight Su Mudaerji
Trending
Su Mudaerji has been an exciting fighter to watch since making his UFC debut in 2018. He has a high-level background in Sanda, which is a combination of boxing and kickboxing in China. 'The Tibetan Eagle' has transitioned his style into MMA quite well.
Mudaerji is 16-5 in MMA, with 13 wins coming via KO/TKO. Despite being a threat with his striking, it is important to note that his submission defense has been exposed. All 5 of his losses have come via submission, including his most recent loss to Matt Schnell. The bout saw 'Danger' rally back and submit him with a triangle-choke. Unless he makes adjustments, Mudaerji could be a fighter that's unable to live up to the hype.

#4. Won't justify: No.15-ranked women's strawweight Amanda Ribas
Amanda Ribas has had a great UFC career so far after competing at both strawweight and flyweight.
Ribas is currently No.10 in the women's flyweight rankings after a split decision loss to former title challenger Katlyn Chookagian. The 28-year-old has gone on an impressive 5-fight winning streak in the past, but she then suffered a loss that derailed her plans at flyweight and forced her to regroup and return to strawweight.
At strawweight, Ribas went on another 5-fight winning streak during which she defeated Mackenzie Dern, Randa Markos, and Paige VanZant. However, a TKO loss to Marina Rodriguez likely nixed any plans for a title eliminator.
#3. Won't justify: No.9-ranked heavyweight Chris Daukaus
Its been an eventful three years for Chris Daukaus since making his UFC debut. The former police officer has been a welcome addition to the heavyweight division and is yet to go the distance in the promotion.
Daukaus has earned a reputation for being a knockout artist as 11-of-his-12 wins have come via KO/TKO. It initially looked like he was poised for an eventual heavyweight title shot, but he was unable to defeat tougher competition like Derrick Lewis and Curtis Blaydes.
Although he is ranked No.9, it will be increasingly difficult, especially with Ciryl Gane, Stipe Miocic, and Jon Jones in title-contention, to earn a shot at the gold.
