I reported in the Fight Pass preview there were several promising prospects in the earliest contests of UFC 235. However, the prospects that have caught the attention of most observers can be found on ESPN in Zabit Magomedsharipov and Johnny Walker. Given this will be Magomedsharipov’s fifth UFC contest, perhaps calling him a prospect is a bit of a stretch, but it doesn’t feel like he’s been tested yet. He’s going to be pushed by Jeremy Stephens and Walker will look to overthrow a former hot prospect in Misha Cirkunov. The bantamweight contest between Cody Stamann and Alejandro Perez looks like a fun contest too.
