never heard of Ruth till the news of his signing but I do know from history only a handful of fighters that primarily use wrestling end up being entertaining "complete" fighters

Brehs which young aspiring mma fighter do yall recommend watching and following their careers take off?

Islam Makhachev, he's a combat sambo champ from Khabib's camp in Dagestan. From the fights I've seen he looks legit. His first fight in the UFC is on the under card at UFC 187.

Julio Cesar Neves Jr: 21 years old, 30-0 record, 90% finish rate. Currently signed to Bellator. It will be interesting to see how he performs once he faces better competition.
