Five Lightweight Prospects the UFC Should Sign in 2021
Welcome to year eight of the annual “Prospects the UFC Should Sign” series, in which we’ll examine five MMA prospects per division the UFC should sign in the upcoming year.

Below are the previous year’s selections, followed by the five men the UFC should offer roster spots to in the coming year.
