Unsigned Heavyweights - Thread Three

[Paul L]

Alexei Kudin vs Konstantin Erokhin in Fight Nights, still not 100% confirmed but in talks.

That's a cool fight. Almost guaranteed someone is going out.

That would be so amazing, the UFC's heavyweight division is starting to get pretty crazy.

Found this news in Russian http://mmapunch.ru/news/2156/ According to article Pavlovich may fight at UFC event in Zagreb.

My head might explode if the UFC keeps signing heavyweights. Paul L is in a dark room with some lotion right now haha.

I have no idea why they are suddenly caring about their decaying heavyweight division, but it's amazing. I would be content if they grabbed East, Pavlovich, Blaydes, and Aliakbari, those are the last guys available to sign they need to complete their roster.

Goltsov is a good one too, but he turned down a contract recently, and there's other fighters who are strong prospects, but they are all tied up in smaller org contracts, coming off losses, or still too green.

Im not stoked about Asker really as I still feel he's a decent fighter but nothing amazing, and a bloated LHW. But new blood is always good.

Looks like East will be coming soon, he'll be another tidy addition.

He'll be a guy used to build up other prospects like Bojan Mihajlović

Good chin, can go three rounds, has some power and can submit guys, but decidedly average in all respects. Most prospects they sign will walk over him.

so awesome to see the HW division get attention from UFC

They really are doing work. Even if half of these guys completely fall flat they have to have at least found someone who will break the top ten and a few gatekeepers at the very least.

If they sign East and Sergey which are rumored, how would you rank the signings?

Ngannou
Tybura
Bilyal
Sergey
East
Michaelsted
Bojhan
Asker

I'd assume
1. Sergey
2. Bilyal
3. Tybura
4. Ngannou
5. Michaelsted
6. East
7. Asker
8. Bojhan

They have to keep Reem, Sergei K to Bellator made sense but even with all the new HW signings they cant let someone like Reem go.

But these are good new signings, Blaydes and Amir could be next.

Close! Switch Sergey and Bilyal and that's my rankings.
