Fighters of the next decade

I found this article on Sherdog.com. It basicly shows you the type of athletes that are to be expected as the next generation of MMA fighters. I'm sure you've all read articles of George St-Pierre being a new breed of athletes in MMA, same for Anderson Silva and Gegard Mousasi.

Everyone in the article will future top 10's in there weight class but there are a few that were not mentioned I feel should be on the list such as:



Bobby Lashley is freakish. He weighs-in at 265lbs but moves as fast as a lightweight. Mixed with explosiveness, power and successful background in wrestling, he deserves to fall in the ranks of Lesnar or Velasquez.

Jake Shields was Elite XC's welterweight champ before they crumbled and is now the middleweight champion for Strikeforce. He had to move up in weight to find more competition and is currently on a 13 fight win streak included in his 24-4-1 record. GSP even said Shields is one of his dream fights. He's a Cesar Gracie black belt with a wrestling background. He's pretty sick



I'm a big fan of Ronaldo Souza. I see him becoming a top 10, if not top 5 middleweight in a couple years. He's a beast in BJJ and incredibly athletic. Check out the video section for an idea of his talent on the ground. Funnest part about this is Jacare Souza AND Roger Gracie, old nemesis, are both signed is Strikeforce.

Anyways, Check out the article.
