Five Prospects From May That Are UFC Ready (Patreon)

Bantamweight, Nkosi Ndebele (8-2):

Ndebele just finished with a trilogy with former UFC fighter and flyweight staple Jose Torres. In the first fight Torres won the Brave CF vacant bantamweight title. It was a split decision so they rematched and Ndebele won the title. It was an odd finished so they just settled it in the most recent fight. Ndebele won again and this time it was a clear win for the South African. Ndebele is a treat to watch. He's dynamic with his kickboxing, striking, and footwork. Ndebele is good in every area and has all the tools to be a special fighter in the UFC.

Flyweight, Sean Gauci (9-1):

Gauci has been fighting since 2014 but has been a victim of a lot of canceled fights. He was able to get a big win though winning the vacant HEX flyweight title. Known for even more than his HEX title he's known for having a win over recent UFC flyweight title contender, Steve Erceg. Gauci has won his last six and has won titles at 125 and 135. Over his last few fights it's his striking that's stood out.  Gauci sits in the pocket and shows good boxing with the jab, attacking the body and countes very well. He has deceptive power and a ground game when needed.

Bantamweight, Hecher Sosa (9-1):

With the UFC eyeing a card in Spain sometime in the near future they might as well bring in the best prospect from the area. He's won his last six but has hit stride recently. Sosa should already be familiar with the UFC considering hit entire career about it has been under the UFC Fight Pass banner. Coming off a submission victory, Sosa is best known for his stand up. A few things he needs to tighten up defensively but is a threat to finish it at any moment. He has the explosion and power to be a big threat.

Flyweight, Alibi Idiris (10-0):

Idiris could've been signed to the UFC after his fight with Contender Series alum, Erisson Ferreira. He smoked him spectacularly, knocking out Ferreria with a spinning backkick. Last month he beat another tough Brazilian and before Ferreira, he handed Brazilian Alisson Silva his first loss. Idiris is a high-paced fighter who can fight at a good rate for the distance of the fight. Idiris is adaptable in fights being able to adjust and fight anywhere. What stands out is his pace even for a 125er.

Featherweight, Harry Hardwick (11-3-1):

Hardwick has a fantastic performance in May winning the Cage Warriors vacant featherweight title. He beat the crap out of Orlando Wilson Prins to a second-round TKO. Hardwick isn’t easy to hit or take down, and he’s hard to put away. He usually starts slow but comes back stronger. Hardwick is a volume-based fighter that excels in mixing it up to the body and head while mixing in kicks as well. His pace is what breaks guys. Taking him to the mat isn’t safer. Hardwick has a dangerous guillotine and if you make it past that he’s good off his back. He would be an excellent action fighter to have in the UFC.
