Do you ever get down on your knees and thank the great good lord that you read this series?

Last month, as we do every month (or most months, anyway), we told you about five young MMA prospects who had a chance to make a splash in April. If you watched those five fighters fight, you saw four wins (sorry, Phoenix Jones fans), two submissions (one by omoplata!) and one knockout from five of the best young up-and-comers in the game.

Turn the page, why don’t you, with our look ahead to the five best MMA prospects who are in action this glorious month of May. It’s just one of the ways we here at The Beaten Path are working to serve you better and to keep you informed and ahead of the curve like the insufferable know-it-all that you are.

As always, no UFC fighters allowed and Bellator and WSOF only under extenuating circumstances. Fighters are ranked based on their records, their skill sets and their readiness for the big time.

Let’s get it on.
