I'd like to see Chovancek and Tony Laramie. The others aren't quite there yet for me.

According to Tap Rizvan Kuniev is back on which is pretty hilarious considering he beat the PFL champ in his last fight.

 

[MMAddict21]

Word is Artem Vakhitov will be on this season. They’re just bringing in anyone who’s fought Pereira before lmao

I fully expect that both Meng and Dulatov will get to fight in the UFC.
Even if Meng loses, I doubt Dana would not just give him a prelim fight if they have a card in Asia or Zhang is fighting as Main Event.

@Hellowhosthat any update on Taiyilake Nueraji?

@Hellowhosthat any update on Taiyilake Nueraji?

Not yet, I think they're going to bring him in but maybe want him to get a bit more experience as his still very wild as much as I love him.

I wonder what happened to Uran Satybaldiev to pull out?

I saw his last fight live on FP, and thought the dude was a savage.

Was looking forward to Uran too, gutted. Replacement doesn't seem up to much either.

 

[Hellowhosthat]

I don't think Uran is that good tbh, his gas tank is pretty awful and he was getting beaten up by Assis who's a middleweight at points.

I remember watching that Fight in LFA I think, It was nothing impressing but I remember him being super durable.

 

[STAY GOLD]

Kevin Vallejos is returning. Expected opponent is Luke Riley.

His loss to Silva has aged really well to be fair.

 

[Hellowhosthat]

Saygid Izagakhmaev, Vadim Kusty, Benjamin Bennett, Ateba Gautier , Joey Hart and Yura Naito all going to be on.

None of these seem particularly good, haha!

Saygid is very good.

 

[David Street]

Islem Masraf (3-0) vs Former Glory light heavyweight champion Artem Vakhitov (2-1). Interesting match-up planned for October in DWCS.

Yousri Belgaroui vs. Anvarbek Daniyalbekov, Yousri is another top Glory KB star who beat Alex Pereira then went on to lose to him 2 times...
