#3. Bryan Caraway
Trending
Bryan Caraway(#4 Bantamweight) defeated the much-hyped Aljamain Sterling in UFC Fight Night 88 and wants a shot at the title in UFC 201 in Cleveland. The “Kid Lightning” is very much confident about his chances and so he turned down a chance to fight Cody Garbrandt.
His game is also based on a great defense and is also tactically sound. He has avoided 80% of takedowns and 57% of the strikes. And his strike landing percentage is 34%. He has a penchant for the rear naked choke and has won many fights due to that.

In the fight with Aljamain Sterling, after losing the first round, Caraway rallied the next two rounds and won the fight via split decision. The decision was largely seen as incorrect by fans, who, when polled, generally agreed the decision for Caraway should have been unanimous.
The judge who scored in favour of Sterling, Adalaide Byrd, is well known in boxing as well as MMA for her highly questionable decisions.
Although the Kid Lightning is ready to fight the Dominator and might get a shot at it if he continues to impress, a fight with The Dominator seems less likely.
