Does anybody know who Saygid Izagakhmaev is fighting on DWCS and the date? Khabib has been teasing his DWCS on Instagram but I can't seem to find a date or opponent

Vadim Kutsy, not sure on the date.
 
🚨 WEEK 5 (September 10) UPDATE 🚨

Undefeated Dagestani Anvarbek Daniyalbekov has withdrawn from his fight against Yousri Belgaroui due to undisclosed reasons.

Yousri Belgaroui, a multiple-time GLORY Kickboxing Middleweight title challenger and the current LFL Light-Heavyweight champion, will now face Japan’s Taiga Iwasaki (9-1, 4 KO/TKO, 2 sub).
Iwasaki’s only career loss came at the hands of BJJ legend Rafael Lovato Jr. back in 2020.

This might be good news for Belgaroui, I was suprised they gave him such an hard fight for his second try. Given he is Alex teammate and all. The Japanese guy has mostly fought cans and seems to have a Karate background. A loss to Rafael Lovato is not embarrassing but he honestly got starched. From the striking I have seen, Yousri would finish him in the first or second only option is grappling for him.

But from what I have seen mostly a striker, will probably depend on how good Yousris TDD and sub defence is.

Had Yousri losing. Now I see him getting that contract.
 
Another prospect from CKB on DWCS accent is on striking nasty combos and dangerous in pocket - Navajo Stirling.


Interested to see how he does, Latu is definitely gonna be his toughest opponent to date. If he wins he definitely gets signed though, even by decision.
 
Yeah, you'd think he'll smash this guy they've brought in to lose to him but madder things have happened...
I think he's gonna roll. His opponent has a very unimpressive record, and after the weigh ins the size difference has become apparent.

Teixeira is 6'8 and 259.
Lopes is 6'2 and 218.


I'm not sure I have ever seen such an obvious squash match on the Contender Series. I mean, it's HW so I guess that's something. I will be prepared surprised if it's even particularly competitive TBH.
