You know what's up with Raul Catinas? He is Romanian kickboxer here was a thread that he retired from kickboxing to focus at mma but he fought just one time in mma. And from what I understand he returned to kickboxing.
Honestly, whenever a high level kickboxer switches to MMA, I will rarely add them to my prospects list. They realize they need to start all over in MMA and generally fall back to kickboxing where they already have a guaranteed paycheck. Pride being the exception, since Pride paid kickboxers with little MMA experience extremely well.
If it were me? I'd throw money at Rico Verhoeven and get him training his ground game and wrestling 24/7.
But back to your question since I really went off topic, I haven't heard anything from Raul aside from kickboxing. Would be nice if Rizin gave him a shot.
