5. Aisling Daly
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVougpZZPPE Irish strawweight Aisling Daly wasn't on the radar of a lot of MMA fans entering into The Ultimate Fighter 20, despite training with the likes of Conor McGregor, Gunnar Nelson, and Cathal Pendred. Well, that's changed now. Daly proved to be a formidable fighter on the show, and while she didn't make it to the semi-finals, she did win her first fight of the tournament. At the TUF 20 finale, she also picked up her first official UFC win, over Alex Chambers. That's a nice start to her career, and you can expect to see her on undercards where Conor McGregor is present to start, before she branches out on her own. She did miss weight at the TUF finale, but hopefully that won't be a persistent issue.
