 <\/p>\n

\"Fighters\u00a0 1. Cedric Doumbe:<\/strong> Doumbe is the present and future of welterweight kickboxing, definitively slaying Nieky Holzen for the final time and is alone at the top of the mountain.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Fighters\u00a0 2. Ryan Burnett:<\/strong> At 25, Burnett is a world champion after a wide UD over Lee Haskins…after a judge mistakenly got the fighters mixed up and was subsequently banned from judging.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Fighters\u00a0 3. Mark Hunt:<\/strong> I thought Lewis would put out the semi-retired Mark Hunt, but alas, it was Hunt who outshot the Black Beast and waited him out until he was dead-to-rights and waiting to crumble.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Fighters\u00a0 4. Regis Prograis:<\/strong> Put one hell of a shellacking on previously-undefeated Joel Diaz Jr. in the ShoBox main event, putting him on the canvas four times en route to a dominant second-round TKO.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Fighters\u00a0 5. Cecilia Braekhus:<\/strong> The possible P4P queen continued to roll on, defended four world titles and is the unquestioned best, possibly ever, female welterweight.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

6. Ben Nguyen:<\/strong> Ben Ten made incredibly short work of world title contender Tim Elliott, putting the TUF winner, who went the distance with DJ, to tapsville in less than a minute.<\/p>\n

7. Dan Hooker:<\/strong> Ross Pearson is still a tough motherfucker, and Hooker absolutely uncorked a nasty knee and turned his lights off on the main card of Fight Night.<\/p>\n

8. Christian Baya:<\/strong> Won Glory’s lightweight contender tournament, grinding out split decisions over Anatoly Moiseev and Massaro Glunder.<\/p>\n

9. Seo Hee Ham:<\/strong> Got a raw deal from the UFC, but went back to Asia and claimed the RoadFC atomweight championship and didn’t even get eye-fishooked for her troubles!<\/p>\n

10. Derek Brunson:<\/strong> Dan Kelly couldn’t pull another upset out of his judo-throwin’ backside, and Brunson put him down quickly and brutally.<\/p>\n

11. Amanda Lino:<\/strong> Is the inagural EFC women’s flyweight champion after an armbar over Jacqualine Trosee in the main event of EFC 60 in South Africa.<\/p>\n

12. Sergii Kuliaba\/Yohann Drai:<\/strong> The latest two entries to Kunlun Fight’s SUPER MEGA HUGE 70kg tournament happening in 2049.<\/p>\n

13. Leonardo Nogueira:<\/strong> In the main event of the latest beloved Fight To Win show, Nogueira decisioned Ricardo Abreu.<\/p>\n

14. Rafael Fiziev:<\/strong> Advanced to RoadFC’s $1 million tournament with a TKO win over Seung Yeon Kim.<\/p>\n

15. Buakaw Banchamek:<\/strong> In the main event of Kunlun Fight 62, Buakaw took out Chinese prospect Kong Lingfeng.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
