After a rocking September that featured some of the sport’s best prospects in action, October is something of a step back, but it still includes some extraordinarily talented young fighters.
We travel to Europe for the entirety of this month’s crop of up-and-comers. Much of the young MMA talent in the world can be found in Russia, particularly in Chechnya and Dagestan, and Poland isn’t far behind with a sterling group of fighters both in the UFC and out. France and the United Kingdom have their own youthful stars in action, so we’re covering the entire continent.
This is the Beaten Path, and these are the five best prospects in action this month, complete with videos and everything you’ll need to watch the up-and-comers in action when the time comes.
