Let's hope we see this killer in the UFC. 9 straight wins.

Nobody but old man Stipe has any take down defence in the top of the HW rankings.

He could. I don't think it's likely though.
 
UFC Needs some Dagestani presence at HW. Sherdog been discussing a lack of HW Dagestani for a while....but this guy still has work to do at Eagle.
 
This guy is realistically not even in the Top 10 best Russian HW prospects. So many killers out of there.

He must be represented by Ali though if he is fighting on an Eagle FC card so I guess anything is possible.

Best Russian HW Prospect (best HW prospect period):

Sergey Bilostenniy: Future HW champion of whatever promotion eventually signs him. He has the most UFC friendly style so hopefully it is in the UFC. He is a smaller version of Ciryl Gane but with significantly more power.

Shamil Gaziev: Best Dagestani HW prospect in my opinion. He is still figuring his game out but you cant reproduce this kind of toughness. Probably will never fight outside Russia but he is a good watch.

There are a few others but when it comes to Russian fighters the UFC is very selective.

I don't see it but to each their own.

Rivzin looks more well rounded and stronger to me.

He's already beaten way better grapplers than Gane, Lewis or Tai.

So you're trolling. Gane, Lewis and Tai are primarily strikers, so of course I wouldn't doubt he's beaten better grapplers than them, because they aren't grapplers.

Let's see how he does against Sergei.

Kharitonov can also become a UFC HW champ and could have been one for the last decade.

The UFC HW division is amateurish.

Kharitonov was a beast in his prime. He wasn't touching UFC gold though. What is your point with that GIF? Overeem also never touched UFC gold.

No shit they're not grapplers which is why they'd get taken down and subbed by a solid HW grappler. Nobody in the top 5 has wrestling but Stipe, which is why Rivzin is a bad matchup for the division.

And your other point the only reason why Sergei was never a UFC champ is because he wasn't in the UFC.

I don't see him doing anything to Cyril Gane. Gane is a complete fighter now and will likely sub this dude quick. Lewis and Tai probably knock his ass out as well.

Sergei wouldn't have been champion. He lost a few in PRIDE, then was subbed easily by Barnett in Strikeforce. Barnett came to the UFC after losing to Cormier and was soundly finished by Rothwell and Browne. Sergei was KO'd a few years later in Bellator.

Gane got outwrestled by a noob like Ngannou.

This HW Dagie would take his ass down.

Sergei also beat UFC HW champion Werdum if you want to play MMA math.
