He's one of a handful of really elite FWs outside the UFC. Islam Omarov, Timur Khizriev, Bibert Tumenov, Losene Keita, Salahdine Parnasse and Akbar Abdullaev. I'd say Aaron Pico but his chins too much of a liability. Guys like Khasan Magomedsharipov, George Mangos, Shakhban Gapizov are really big prospects but young and yet to amass the body of work to insinuate being elite at a world class level.

Kyrgyzstan doesn't buy PPVs and their monthly income translated to USD would make the 80-90 dollar price tag absurd, even a 40-50 dollar one. Small population as well. I still think Razbahli and Daniyar are better talents than Akbar from Kyrgyzstan, Akbar with some refinement on his striking technique and mat grappling would be a UFC contender level talent though. He's not young though, 27 is prime, same age as Ilia.

Also putting Akbar Abdullaev ahead of everyone besides Usman outside the UFC is weird, is Usman even number 1? Compared to Kyoji? Islam Omarov? Magomedrasul Gasanov? Losene Keita? Salahdine Parnasse? Patchy Mix? Shamil Musaev? Vadim Nemkov? Eduard Vartanyan? Christian Lee? And quite a few others.

Central Asians and Russians are absolutely crushing, it's clear they have a pedigree from starting much younger on average and competing far more often by the time they're 18-20 than Western fighters ontop of them having that strong physical and wrestling base from their cultural and Judo, Wrestling and Sambo being so popular....and aspect of the game most Latinos, Americans, Canadians, Brazilians, Oceanians, Europeans and East Asians lack and lack the resources to even try an correct. But chill with the hyperbole, he's not fucking P4P #2 Outside the UFC, he's prolly not even the best 27 year old FW outside the fucking UFC. He is really great though.

Bibert is never making FW again lmao.

 

[HuskySamoan]

Bibert is never making FW again lmao.

Maybe not lmao. But he's a little too short for 155, if he chilled with the bicep curls and protein shakes he could.

I think he's more likely to end up at 170 at this rate.

Any thoughts Rajabali Shaidullaev?
Another Steppe Bro that's young and undefeated with all finishes.

Razhabali Shaydullaev is my number 1 BW prospect outside the UFC, Daniyar my number 1 Flyweight similarly so. Only issue I have is Razhabali has been fighting up a division in Rizin and looks a little too small.

Central Asia is the spot right now.
