2019 has the potential to be a breakthrough year for several members of the UFC roster – especially those who haven’t been with the organization all that long.
The crop of new names rising through the UFC ranks is plentiful, and the latest to burst through is UFC middleweight contender Israel Adesanya (16-0 MMA, 5-0 UFC), who defeated longtime UFC champ Anderson Silva (34-9 MMA, 17-5 UFC) at UFC 234 this past weekend.

The majority sided with Adesanya, but others were given a healthy consideration, as well.
