Laura Sanko's top fighters to watch
ESPN spoke with UFC analyst Laura Sanko to get a list of the fighters she is most excited to see on this season of DWCS. "There is an emerging theme this year," Sanko told ESPN. "Many of the fighters a really young, but they appear to be ready for this stage. They pass the eye test more than the fighters in previous years."
Austin Bashi, featherweight
Record: 12-0
Age: 22
Fighting out of: West Bloomfield Township, Michigan
Bashi is one of the best prospects in all of MMA. He enters DWCS Season 8 having finished each of his last four opponents (three submissions, one KO). He has a wrestling background, but he has striking that his opponent has to respect. Despite his age, Bashi has already faced and beaten high-level competition. Just two fights ago, he submitted Askar Askar another highly-touted prospect. Bashi has what it takes to be a champion one day.
Artem Vakhitov, light heavyweight
Record: 2-1
Age: 33
Fighting out of: Prokopyevsk, Russia
Vakhitov has little professional MMA experience, but he is a former Glory kickboxing champion. Most notably, Vakhitov was the last guy to beat UFC light heavyweight champ Alex Pereira in kickboxing. And that's why he's making this move, he's coming for Pereira.
