10 MMA Fighters Poised To Make It Big In 2015

6. Anthony Johnson

Anthony Johnson has looked like a beast since returning to the UFC after being cut for weight issues. He's fighting like a new man, and speaking like a man wizened by age and experience. That bodes well for this second UFC run. Johnson is a legit threat to champion Jon Jones, though first he has a tough test against Alexander Gustafsson in February. If he gets past the "Mauler" look for this to be his year - he might be the one person who can get inside on Jones and knock him out cold.
