Konstantin Erokhin: Finally Some Legit New Blood In The UFC HW Division

[BigMuffler]

He is not 6 foot 5 so Sherdoggers are going to say he should fight at LHW.

Try WW...

Heavyweights suck. Little guys rule

it genuinely baffles me that if anyone dislikes the lower weight classes or female fights they get called a non mma fan but somehow it's socially acceptable to bash the heavyweights

 

[Rozwell]

He fought Rogers to a decission, that doesn't spell out legit new blood to me.

Look everybody, we got a FightFinder expert!

Not really.

He did though. And didn't look impressive.

 

[MiroHa]

Meh, he's 33 years old and should be fighting at MW/LHW with that frame. Only legit new blood right now at HW are Minakov and Volkov but they fight in Bellator.

and should be fighting at MW/LHW with that frame

...and there we go.

because there's an enormous skill disparity between 5-0 Mirsad Bektic and 5-0 Ruan Potts.

 

[Moral Victory]

Ouch, and i was rooting for Pesta.

 

[Kwic]

They could sign Karol Bedorf, KSW champ. Why the hell not? Anybody would be good. HW is just too boring now.

Derrick Lewis

I think Lewis will be a force at HW, he's looked good prior to fighting Mitrione. No shame in losing to him, Mitrione is a beast who's KO'd good HW's (Gonzaga recently, Jordan etc.). Remember Lewis also KO'd Rosholt (who you didn't mention on your list) before coming to the UFC.

Anyways, I agree with you about new breed HW's. From what I've seen of Konstantin, he's an animal. I was calling for his signing long before he was actually signed, so glad he's finally here.

Ah, right, it's a woman's name overseas

 

[Cptn1NSAN0]

Cool, I will have to check this beast out. New blood at HW is always interesting, especially if he can separate himself from the group of names Melvin mentioned with some good wins.

 

[markys00]

So legit they put him on the fightpass portion

 

[ArtemV]

Yeah, Erokhin is good, I seen him fight in Moscow in 2013, he should be able to beat the Bigfoots and Mirs of the division, maybe even Stipe and Overeem. But he is strong and fast for a heavyweight, has great counters.

 

[JKS]

Im excited for him...big power

 

[Mikedh]

Andrei Arlovski has a KO loss to Brett Rogers and is in the Top 10.

He has no other decent wins besides that though. Thats like his only top 50 win and it was ten seconds.

 

[Lucifer Alpha]

Another one bites the dust.

 

[Mikedh]

Man his wrestling was awful and puts a very low ceiling on him despite his power. Looks like a bust.
