1.
Chike Lindsay (18-4)
Lindsay is currently on a five fight win streak that includes victories over
the likes of Somluck Kamsing, Malaipet Sasiprapa, and Cyrus Washington. The Atlanta based fighter has
clearly established himself as one of the top North American fighters in the
last year. His next fight will easily be the toughest test of his career as he
is slated to fight Muay Thai legend Yodsanklai Fairtex at Lion Fight 10 on July 26th. A win
by Lindsay against Yodsanklai would be huge not only for his career for the sport
in North America.

2. Michael Mananquil (19-4)
Michael Mananquil is now 5-0 since jumping up to 154lbs. He most recently won the Road to Glory USA 154lb tournament. Despite being known as a technical fighter, Mananquil has shown that he is not afraid to let the leather fly and get involved in an all out war. One of the most intriguing fights at 154 would be against Chike Lindsay.

December. His next fight is currently unknown

4. Bryce Krause (10-4-1)
Krause returned to action for the first time since September of 2012 and bounced back with a decision win over Douglas Edwards. Krause showed a technical counter game to score points. What was most impressing was his accuracy, he was on point with this striking and being known for his heavy hands this just adds another dangerous aspect to his game.

After winning back to back fights Washington was eliminated in the opening round of the Road to Glory 154lb tournament by Troy Sheridan. Washington’s next bout is currently unknown but earlier this year Take-On Productions announced they had inked Washington to a deal so his return could be for them.
