With promotions springing up all over the place, and fighters moving from one promotion to the next, I've decided to compile a list of fighters that may do big things in the sport of Mixed Martial Arts.

Here it is, in no particular order.

Mark Munoz
In addition to training with former WEC featherweight champion Urijah Faber, Munoz was a two time All American wrestler and NCAA wrestling champion.  The undefeated fighter only has five bouts under his belt, but his drive to one day become a world champion is evident. After talks that the WEC's heavier weight classes may be abolished, the move to ZUFFA's "Big Daddy" promotion (UFC) maybe the perfect fit for the Filipino; seeing how the UFC wants to establish their brand in the south east Asian country. Munoz with the help of Brandon Vera and TUF season 8 veteran Phillipe Nover would be exactly what the doctor ordered.

Wilson Reis
Elite XC champion and Brazilian jiu jitsu black belt, Reis is a star on the rise up until the demise of Elite XC. In his last bout against Abel Cullum (Another MMA stud) Reis looked spectacular, showcasing his grappling prowess. With the WEC's Featherweight and Bantamweight division slowly becoming among the best in the world, Reis would be the perfect addition giving the WEC some serious depth.

Mike Ricci
Tristar gym product Mike Ricci is a fighter making waves in the Canadian MMA scene.  He sports an undefeated record having competed in both TKO and XMMA. The explosive lightweight has received endorsements from both Patrick Cote and Georges St-Pierre stating he is one of their best training partners. Tristar gym trainer Firas Zahabi told The Fight Network Mike Ricci is the future.

Antonio Silva
Bigfoot Silva is a fighter that has enough credibility that any promotion would salivate over the thought of acquiring his services. The ATT member and BJJ black belt is the first and only man to hold the Elite XC heavyweight title, an accolade that would serve him well in a north American or Japanese promotion. Sporting a near perfect 11-1 record 10 of which were finishes, "Bigfoot" could be the answer to the UFC's prayers as legit heavyweights always seem to pull in big numbers.

Alexandre "Xande" Ribeiro
Ribeiro made his MMA debut in September of 2008 and showed incredible diversity, showcasing punches and kicks and as well as good conditioning and an impressive clinch game disposing of his opponent by TKO.  The Toronto BJJ instructor is one of the world's elite grapplers, holding the black belt gold medal in the World jiu jitsu championship and 2007 ADCC title.

Hatsu Hioki
The Japanese fighter may not be new to the sport of MMA, but he has yet to fight consistently in a major promotion (One fight in Pride Bushido). With an impressive 17-3-0 record, Hioki is slowly becoming recognized as one of the best featherweights on the planet. An extremely active fighter competing six times in the last year Hioki has very well rounded skills as he is able to finish fights on the ground as well as standing. The tough as nails TKO champion would be a perfect fit for the WEC and a match up with Jens Pulver could catapult him into stardom.

TJ Grant
The East coast submission fighter has 13 wins all by stoppage (12 by way of submission) His last three victories all have ties to the UFC. Beau Baker, the last man to fall victim to Grants grappling prowess defeated TUF alum Tommy Speer and his two previous challenges were Ultimate Fighting Championship veterans.  Grant also stopped 5 time UFC participant Forrest Petz at TKO 35, as well as Chad Reiner in June of 2008. Grant is ready for the big show and won't disappoint, as he is focused and ready to tap out the rest of the division.

Rafael "Feijao" Cavalcante
He trains with both UFC interim heavyweight champion Minotauro Noguiera and UFC middleweight super stud Anderson "The Kingpin" Silva so right there, that qualifies him for any big show looking for a legit 205 pounder. I think he would be a great fit in the UFC considering outside of the ZUFFA owned promotion the light heavyweight division is pretty thin, and when you consider all the potential match ups it's a no brainer. He is 7 and 1 in his MMA career and the one blemish comes from a disqualification, oh yeah! And, he's finished all of his opponents.
