Awesome match up, that card looks like it could be very brutal.

Nice fight, Newton could end up winning via wrestling or his spinning backfist of doom. Guess Bellator either canned him after losing 3 in a row, or his contract lets him fight outside of the org.

Stepanyan vs Minu has the potential to be fireworks
Amagov and EE are must see fights

 

[LHWBelt]

Evgeny should win but Newton is no joke and is absolutely a threat. I like the fight.

Couple of awesome fights at the top. Amagov's return at 205lbs (?!) against a decent enough lhw in Broenstrup.

If Erokhin smokes Newton that could punch his ticket to the UFC. I'd love him to do 205lbs though,he'd have a much better chance of making an impact there. If he comes in as a HW, he'll follow in the footsteps of Konstantin - 0-2 and cut.

I wonder how bad newton is going to look before pulling off a surprise ko

Amagov started as a HW fighter and if I'm not mistaken he beat Rasulov (ACB HW champ) this year in an army hand-to-hand combat bout.
Seems like both UFC and Bellator already offered their contracts to Erokhin. He said something like he wants to gain more experience before signing with big promotion.

IIRC @MilesAbove said he had signed a 6 fight deal with WSOF-GC
He had fought 2 times for them after that signing if I'm not wrong

Is this like that Putin event where no one else was allowed to attend apart from Putin and his pals?

Thanks for the info. Guess we won't be seeing Erokhin for a while in the UFC. He'd be an idiot to sign with Bellator, their HW division is ridiculously poor now. Amagov could be interesting at 205lbs, he's exciting to watch too. Dirlei is no joke though.

If im not mistaken he signed an 8 fight deal, he has fought 3 times with them. And this is the second time they have let him fight outside the company

That's what confused me when this was originally announced. I knew Amagov had fought at heavyweight early in his career, but he looked goo in the UFC at 170. Dirlei is a good regional guy at 205 even though he's a kind of small for the class.

Is there gonna be a way to watch this?

maybe he was pulling a Rumble to get to 170

No matter what, I'm just glad he's back. You definitely won't hear me complaining if he successfully moves up to 205.lol

Amagov is fucking beast. He fought at lightheavy~heavyweight in his early career days and he already defeated Evegeny(WSOF GC HW champ), Antigulov(ACB LHW champ). He really know well about how to fight with heavier guy

Great org for him to sign with, would be #6 in the division. Would want to see him fight Kharitonov.

He should go to the UFC. The division is wide open and I think he's better than some of the Russian HWs who have been struggling there lately.

He would do good in UFC though I would rather see him in Bellator since he would be a bigger fish in a smaller pond, still have good comp, and would be helping out a smaller org.
