Lets keep it rolling and discuss who u might think will be in the top ten in the coming months. Lets forget fighters who have been in the top ten but might make it back. I want to hear about up and comers and why they may or may not be in the top ten within 6 months or more. What do u think guys???

Theres a guy in TUF house now named Kris "Savage" McCray, he's only 3-0 or 4-0 at the moment but has an excellent upside and with time could make a splash in any orgs MW division.

Hector Lombard and Cote both have the potential to crack top ten status with the right fights. Lombard might have a hard time finding note worthy competion in Bellator though. Not saying he won't be fighting solid comp, but probably not a whole lot of named opponents to be found.
If Cote's beats Belcher I'd like to see him fight Akiyama, would be a nice little boxing match, or Bisping depending on the outcome of the Wand fight. Even if he loses to Wand, which there is certainly no shame in, as long as he looks better than he did in the Hendo and Kang fight on the feet I think it could probably be a decent fight, maybe a headliner for a UFN.

Alan Belcher I would say. I think if he can learn to not get into those crazy stand in front of the other guy and bang battles he could go far. I really thought he beat akiyama and looked good against gouveia.

If Mamed can win against Santiago again, then I would say him
McCray will need more time, excellent potential though
I definately think Jacare could have a huge breakout year in 2010

It all is dependant on what your rankings look like now ya?
I already have Lombard in my top 10 yet someone mentioned him in this thread.
Makes it kinda hard without a list to start from.
