Albert Tumenov still hoping

[CPH]

After a good performance last night, Albert takes the opportunity to once again let his ambitions be known.



Why is Dana still treating Tumenov like he's Ben Askren?

I thought Robbie was already in the UFC (?).

Give the man a contract Red Goof. He hasn't lost since he left, he only lost to good quality fighters when he was there in close fights and we still need to see that spot the difference matchup with Robbie Lawler

This guy hasnt fought in mma in 2 years and thinks Dana will sign him?

His managers suck, they are they same ones as Leon Edwards

He left ACA as champion to try and get back into the UFC. It's an absolute joke they haven't signed him, he's one of the best WW's in the world.

He has been asking for a UFC contract for those two years. What is he supposed to do? Lock himself into another contract in Russia?

Take some more fights? You don't get a contract by just asking and not fighting.

 

[IndyCovaHart]

I had forgotten he even existed. Lol

It's not so easy to take fights without getting stuck in a contract with another promotion.

It seems that it isn't as easy as you think. Who is going to book a top 20 guy for a single fight/open contract with presumably, one of their own promotion's top guys? Supposing they do this and Tumenov crushes their guy - then what? Why would they even invest in a fight like that?

I can't imagine fighters trying to navigate their way into the big leagues are particularly keen to sign to fight someone like him either.

 

[Pepy]

wasn't it something like the russians are 1 in 1 out?

hard to see him get another chance. Doesn't have enough charisma

Exactly. Tumenov wants a UFC or Bellator contract and expects to be able to go to the top, thus converting it into good money. He isn't 23 anymore - he has built up a good win streak, won a belt and wants to capitalise on that.

His charisma is derived from the fact that he is an exciting standup fighter with a 50% KO percentage.

Agreed. Dude was a stud and definitely entertaining. Better than both Geoff Neal and Santiago Ponzzibio or however you spell his name

Ugh like most sherdoggers your knowledge and memory of mma is very disappointing

that's not how charisma works
