Bellator Welterweight Top Prospects Ranked

[kabidjan18]

A lot of exciting WW prospects in Bellator right now. However, the catch is that most of them haven't faced any real tests up to this point, and management is clearly hesitant to pit them against each other (or against serious competition) at such an early stage (with the exception of Ruth v N. Gracie). However, it is inevitable that they will collide and eliminate each other at some point. Therefore, which one do you think has the most potential and how would you rank them?

Ed Ruth - 28 yo, 6-1
Dillon Danis - 25 yo, 1-0
Khonry Gracie - 21 yo, 1-1
Joey Davis - 25 yo, 5-0
Logan Storley - 26 yo, 10-0 (5-0 in Bellator)
Austin Vanderford - 29 yo, 7-0 (1-0 in Bellator)
Robson Gracie - ~27 yo, 1-0
Neiman Gracie - 30 yo, 9-0 (7-0 in Bellator)

Neiman is obviously the best of the lot now, but in terms of potential i guess Joey Davis. I always like someone with the affinity to learn the striking better than grappling specialists. At the highest level of MMA, everyone is pretty much good at grappling to the point that striking is what usually settles the difference.

Agree that Neiman is easily the best right now and Ed Ruth probably is 2nd best.

I don't consider the other two Gracies even prospects at this point aside from their last name. Need to win a few more fights.
