Coming this week: Potential breakout stars in 2016

One of the lasting legacies of 2015 for the Ultimate Fighting Championship will likely be the year Conor McGregor and Holly Holm went from great fighters to household names.

It will be tough for any fighter to have the same kind of massive impact, but there are several primed to take a big leap in 2016.

Over the next week, CoveringTheCage.com will bring you five possible candidates to break out over the next 12 months.

Check the site for a new name each day.

Just a hint: there are four male fighters and one female on the list.

The first fighter will be revealed on Monday.
