20 UFC Prospects Destined For Big Things In 2020

Everyone loves a good ol' violent knockout in MMA, but there's something uniquely special about a submission specialist who can wrap their opponent up and strangle them until they tap out. If a fighter can make grappling thrilling to the casual MMA fans, then they're doing something right. That's why Manny Bermudez is such an exciting prospect in a very tough bantamweight division.

The 25-year old Bostonian is undefeated in his career, with 11 of his victories coming by way of submission. His specialities are definitely the triangle choke, which he seems to be able to land from a variety of positions, and he's also got a slick guillotine choke too. Although those are the techniques he usually finishes fights with, Bermudez is fantastic at chaining submissions together, so he could catch an opponent with anything.

Unlike most grapplers, his striking isn't terrible and he can certainly stay competitive when trading blows. However, when he gets the fight to the ground he's at a clear advantage over everyone else he's competing against. If he continues on this path of submitting opponents with ease, Bermudez could be contender very soon.
