Ridiculous power for a flyweight. Reminds me of John Lineker. Very interesting dude to have on. The loss was a DQ where he was absolutely demolishing the dude.

I also clocked that Sora Rakhmonova, Ernesta Karekcaite, Alexander Soldatkin and Mario Piazzon all have profiles now.
 


James Llontop from Peru also signed.

Good comparison. He fights like him as well as they both have granite chins.

There’s a few more South American fighters who probably won’t be top 10 fighters, but who come to knockoff or submits folks and will put on entertaining fights.

Given the UFC’s interest in the region, I could see them picking up more fighters.

Yeah I'm hoping for Jose Ferreira from Chile and Rodrigo Vera from Peru especially.
 
Luciano Pereira is fighting Felipe dos Santos on August 22.

Alexander Soldatkin vs Mario Piazzon Sept 26

Soldatkin seems alright looking at his record, a few decent wins on there, 14-3, 30, seems a decent addition to the season. Never heard of him before really, nor Piazzon who looks like he's gonna get smashed here judging by his appearance and record. Looks like a mildly blown up MW who's not really fought anyone good.

Soldatkin is very good early, bit gassy but I think he's gonna run through this dude.

Two absolutely beastly names added today in Murtaza Talha and Jean Matsumoto.

Also a very good name in Lucas Rocha.

Also Jose Medina, Magomed Gadzhiyasulov and Kasey Tanner

Talha, sick.

185lbs I'm guessing.

Jose Medina - Light Heavyweight - Bolivia - 32 y/o - 10-2-1

His record is 11-2. He won his last fight by split decision. The fight was in Bolivia and there was an eyepoke in the fight in the second round, but the fight continued and he won by decision. The Brazilian commission tried to overturn the result and said the fight should've been called off for the eyepoke on Fernando Filho, but the fight did continue and it went to the judges and Medina won by decision. Whoever handles those results at Tapology now hasn't watched the fight and rolled with the Brazilian commissions call instead which is absurd as they don't have a say in a fight that occurred in a different country.

I had heard he was PFL bound, so it's surprising he got signed for DWCS.
