Best Fights outside of the UFC (Feb.6-Feb.9)

Erick Carlos Silva (12-3) vs. Joao Luiz Nogueira (16-6) @ Bitetti Combat 19 (Lightweight bout)
Silva and Nogueira were once considered top prospects in Brazil. Silva was once 9-0 with wins over UFC veterans John Lineker and Marcos Vinicius. Then the wheels fell off as he lost his next 3 of 4 fights. He was away from the cage for nearly 3 years before returning in 2013, where he has since gone 2-0. Nogueira, who trains out of Team Nogueira, though he is a sibling of Big Nog and Lil’Nog, has struggled with consistency over the years, though he did beat former UFC veteran Willamy Freire in his last fight.

Cain Carrizosa (5-0) vs. Chris Quitiquit (5-3) @ Tachi Palace Fights 18 (Lightweight bout)
Cain Carrizosa is an undefeated 5-0 Lightweight prospect, having recently appeared on a Bellator undercard. His biggest career win is a decision over Team Alpha Male fighter Daniel Romero.

Hector Sandoval (6-1) vs. Benny Vinson (6-1-1) @ Tachi Palace Fights 18 (Flyweight bout)
Hector Sandoval fights out of Team Alpha Male, and has been on my prospects radar for quite some time. His only career loss was in his debut to former UFC veteran Ulysses Gomez. He will have his hands full with Vinson, who has a combined 11-1-1 record as a pro and amateur.

Francisco Mario Marinho (24-4) vs. Jeferson Santos (5-2) @ Bitetti Combat 19 (Lightweight bout)
Francisco Mario has won 19 of his career 24 wins via submission. Unfortunately, his record has suffered some blemishes as of late following an 18-1 run from 2003-2008. The Nova Uniao product has won his last 5 fights.

Guilherme Trindade (12-1) vs. Alex Sandro (2-0) @ Nitrix 19 (Lightweight bout)
Trindade is considered a KO artist, but the one time he stepped up in competition, he was quickly finished by UFC Lightweight James Krause in RFA. Trindade is still a prospect to watch, but the verdict is out on whether he will ever breakthrough as a legit big show fighter.
 
Some really good fights there. Will you update with results as they happen?
 
Some good fights. ROAD FC this weekend should be good. Will be nice when Bellator is back.
 
glad your doing this! this is one of my favorite pieces that sherdog does, but they're much too short!

Solid list very interesting fights coming up!
 
The Lindsey-Worthington fight is actually happening in VFC and not CFFC.

At BC 19
Ronys Torres beat Gilmar Dutra Lima by KO 26 seconds into the first round. I think he's ready to fight for another major promotion.
Joao Luiz Nogueira guillotined choked Erick Carlos Silva in the 2nd round.
It looks like the Francisco Marinho-Jefferson Santos bout was cut last minute.
Andre Muniz beat Paulo Filho by decision. It's time for Filho to call it a career. He just doesn't have the fire anymore.

Viviane Pereira (4-0), Michel Silva (8-2), Josnaldo Araujo Silva (13-4), and Alex Cowboy (6-1) also picked up victories.

At TPF 18
Joe Soto beat Jeremiah Labiano by Doctor Stoppage in the 3rd round. Soto needs to get signed by somebody. He's ready to fight some top guys.
Cain Carrizosa KO'd Chris Quitiquit in 30 seconds.
Hector Sandoval beat Benny Vinson by Unanimous decision.

This event also saw Jack May (7-0) TKO Strikeforce vet Carl Seumanutafa (8-5). The world can always use more Heavyweight prospects. It also saw victories for California prospects like Alex Perez (10-2) and Randall Wallace (9-1). Tachi has always been a popular ground for UFC and Bellator, so I expect to see these names more often pretty soon.

In Peru at 300 Sparta 5, there was a one night Featherweight Grand Prix. Fernando De Oliveira (3-0) was able to defeat Vitor Nunes (3-1), Enrique Barzola (7-1), and Jorge Luis Paico (3-1-1). These were his first pro fights.

David Cubas (12-4) won a unanimous decision over Ederson Moreira (10-16)

In addition to the fights you mentioned:

Marcelo Rojo (6-1) vs. Fernando Vieira (8-2) at XFCi 1. This is the co-main event for Thiago Meller vs. Clay French. Rojo is one of the best Featherweights to come out of Argentina. He's taking on Fernando Vieira (8-2) who has fought once since 2010, but has defeated everyone in his career except UFC vet Diego Brandao and Bellator vet Patricio Friere.

Alan Omer (17-3) vs. Dennis Tomzek (10-1) at Fair FC. Omer was becoming one of Europes best Featherweights at the end of 2011 before he took a hiatus. Now he is 25, and it continuing his career against another top German Featherweight, Dennis Tomzek.
Max Coga (8-1) vs. Lom-Ali Eskijew (6-2) at Fair FC. This is another fight between two top Featherweights from Germany. This is a rematch of their 2012 fight when Coga armbarred Eskijew in the 2nd round. Whoever wins either of these fights looks to be on the radar of UFC as they venture into Europe, and CWFC who have been expanding further into Europe.
Nick Hein (9-1) vs. Michael Erdinc (6-1) at Fair FC. for the Welterweight title. The future of German MMA looks pretty solid with this card.

Some upcoming squash fights

2/7 Tyler Toner (14-6) vs. Gilbert Jimenez (6-9-1) Prize FC 5

Ryan Sanders aka that guy who got raped by micheal page KO'd Marcus lmfao.

Huge upset.
