Was wondering when that dude would show up. anything contender series he sniffs out to rage against, its dedication.

If "dedication" means a pretty sad life he lives in his basement, then I agree.
 


Need to check the Peruvian out but he'll have to be good to beat Van.



This is a scrap between two just bleed dudes. Harila is basically the Swedish zombie. He's not that good imo but it should be a stand and bang war. Maybe the Valdez Vs White of this season.

Having Harila on is cool, just hope they don't make Hardwick go through contenders lmao

I'm expecting Hardwick to be on the London card. Paul Hughes is the other Cage Warriors champ I'm surprised hasn't been signed yet.

I love it when your DWCS thread gets going, highlight of my year. Harila is definitely fun.

Considering how Hughes was looking in pictures with McKee it wouldn't surprise me if he has some sort of injury, he looked 170+. Also gotta say this thread is the only reason I come to sherdog these days, if you ever do the Shawn Bitter thing and monetize I'd be happy to chip in
 


Smotherman has been improving a lot over the past year or so. Guerrero I've seen once and she looked okay but nothing special, but it's women's 135.

LFA Middleweight champ Lucas Fernando has been added to the roster (I think he's fucking awesome), along with his probably opponent former GLORY kickboxer Cesar Almeida.

Peruvian flyweight Kevin Borjas has also been added.

That’s interesting, where did you get this info from? Do you maybe have a link?

Cesinha Almeida has beaten GLORY’s nr1 contender Serkan Özçağlayan last year



Who is now set to face middleweight champion Donovan Wisse next month



(swipe for both guys latest finish)



Almeida also fought Donovan Wisse two times, but came short both times in competitive fights. He never cracked the absolute top of kickboxing on a consistent basis, but he’s always in fun, hard fought fights against the best of the division.

Cesar Almeida is 3-0 (3KO) in MMA, with a professional kickboxing record of 47-8 (27KO).
Will be interesting too see what he potentially can do in the UFC at age 35. The clock is absolutely ticking, but with the right matchups this guy can be in some fun brawls, that’s for sure.

He's got a profile on the UFC Fight Pass app, that's the only source so far. But he'll be on and I'm 99% sure he'll be fighting Lucas Fernando.
 


Good fight, I like Payton but Cortez is better than he showed against CeeRod and tbh that loss hasn't aged badly at all.

Who do you think has the best ceiling out of all the confirmed fighters so far, i.e who are you most impressed with here?

Lucas Fernando, but there's a few good ones already
 


Smotherman isn't bad, decent finisher. Wasn't overly impressed with Grigoriou when I saw him, probably in due to the Serra/Longo connection. I don't think this is one of the higher level fights of the season.
 


Lipe Detona confirmed as expected. I'm guessing Chairez is the opponent but we'll see.
