6. Kevin Lee
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S18LnxJZtJM Kevin Lee achieved his first UFC victory over Jesse "The Body Snatcher" Ronson on Sunday, in a fight that likely sends London, Ontario native Ronson packing from the UFC. Quite a shame, given he lives just a few hours down the road from where I sit, and it's always sad to see a local fighter go - but Lee took a split decision, and it's Ronson's third straight loss. For Lee, things should be status quo, with another unranked, low tier opponent lined up. He still has under ten fights in his pro career, and at age 21, there is absolutely no need to rush him. A fight against the youngest kid in the UFC at the moment, Jake Matthews, who dropped to lightweight after competing at welterweight on TUF Nations: Canada vs. Australia would be the perfect bout. Let both these young fighters develop slowly though, and give them time to enjoy their first UFC victories.
