Another week, another continuation of the self-proclaimed best series on the Internet. That’s right, the “Prospects the UFC Should Sign” series is back with a vengeance. We left off with the middleweights, and now, we move on to the welterweight division.
The welterweight division is one of the most stacked and talent-laden divisions in the UFC and all of MMA. The landscape has greatly changed as well, as Robbie Lawler is now the UFC champ and has a bevy of contenders, from Rory MacDonald to former champ Johny Hendricks to Hector Lombard.
The UFC has always been focused on restocking the division on a consistent basis, snagging guys who could have been considered for this series such as Dhiego Lima, Warlley Alves, Sultan Aliev and Alan Jouban.
Even though there has been a changing of the guard, that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be replenishing our welterweight talent. So, with that in mind, here are five welterweight prospects that the UFC should sign with the intent of keeping a talent-rich division.
Below are the previous installments of this series.
