8. Adriano Martins
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVh4DIrburw The Brazilian lightweight took care of business at the TUF 19 finale within a single round, scoring a one-punch knockout in his third UFC fight. A vet with a 26-7 record, Martins quick finish of Juan Manuel Puig means a slightly higher ranked opponent next time out. Martins lone loss in the UFC came against Cowboy Cerrone, and that marked his only loss since 2011, so he definitely has an upside in the division. While the likes of Cerrone might have been too much, a bout with the winner of Joe Lauzon vs. Michael Chiesa works nicely.
