We continue our “Prospects the UFC Should Sign” series, which will take us division by division, breaking down the top prospects who should be signed by the company.
The welterweight division is one of the most talent-laden divisions in the UFC, hosting such fighters as Johny Hendricks, Jake Ellenberger and champion Georges St-Pierre. However, the UFC should continue to build for the future.
Here are five welterweights the UFC should sign to continue adding depth to the division.
Note: Here is last year’s top-five list. Of the five, Gunnar Nelson and Kenny Robertson were signed by the UFC.
