Johnny Elben in the UFC

[Vampire life]

Middle weight is where it’s at in the UFC and with Bellator being sold, all but a done detail, where does this undefeated fighter fit in?
I could see Dana wanting this guy like he did Chandler
I say he gets a top 10 fighter for his debut

Strickland would slap the shit out that guy and make it look easy.

 

[ChimRichalds]

I'd love to see him in the UFC, and think he could definitely win the belt. Hard to see him not having his way with Strickland or Izzy. Dricus or Whittaker would be his toughest matchups I think.

Eblen beats Izzy, Strickland, and Khamzat in the same night with out breaking a sweat!!!!!

Kopylov would bend Eblen over and make him his girlfriend tho

 

[jko1355]

I'd love to see him against a Costa, Marvin, Cannonier type of fighter... someone he can't simply man handle

 

[RoyJonesJr]

Doesn't beat Dricus

I say go to the PFL and get rich quick, then go to rhe U Fight Cheap organization. PFL is an easy million for Elben and that's not counting what he'll make for each fight plus sponsors. You spelled his name wrong btw.

Am I the only noticing the only wrestlers not named Bo getting into the UFC are Russian?

They're sparring partners, according to them on any given day one can beat the other.

 

[Skarsgard]

Maybe he's top five talent, maybe he's top twenty. Don't really have a good measurement to put him against. He looked solid against Mousasi, but Mousasi has had like a sixty or seventy fights by now.

If he was both undefeated Bellator and PFL champ and moved over to UFC they'd be able to do a lot with that. He'd probably get a top 5 opponent off the rip. Think it's a good idea, but a with degree of risk in taking several fights before making the move. If someone were to clip him in PFL...

 

[Hellowhosthat]

They're getting sold to PFL. I would imagine his contract moves over there.

 

[MMAProfessional]

Top 5. Not sure how good he is just because of the Bellator roster. I was impressed by the Moose fight but Moose is far past his prime so it's hard to say. Edwards is decent too but again he edged an old Moose so hard to tell how good he is either but I will say Eblen has a champ mindset. It's like when he got cut he decided to finish Edwards.

As long as I know PFL has no MW at the moment...

I think you're right, my bad.

Keep telling yourself that, Strickland is mediocre at best.

Doesn't beat Dricus

Agreed

Edwards is a tough out
