Josefine Knutsson didn't impress Mick Maynard enough (he's the one signing female fighters), so despite beating a more experienced MMArtist in "Road to UFC", she'll have to show a bit more still. She's now booked to fight Jacinta Austin at UAE Warriors 35 on February 25, and they both have a record of 4-0.
Sahil Siraj (7-1) has been signed by KSW for a fight on their KSW 78 card, January 21. Against "a tough Polish fighter" which is all we got from Majdi.
Bernardo Sopai is on the verge of signing with a big league. The UFC are aware of him too. First he will have a title fight at FCR 15 though, against somebody with the exact same record (9-2). February 25.
Samuel Bark, a legend in Thailand where fans gave him the nickname of "Sammon Decker". Sean Shelby is impressed after watching his last fights, and the guy is coming from 9 fights in just 14 months' time. He's a free agent with various options so we'll have to wait and see.
Felipe Lima (11-1) is basically waiting for a UFC contract. But the promotion Oktagon wants him for a title fight as well.
Khamzat Chimaev comes back to Allstars today, and they're having a meeting with the UFC instantly, to discuss what's next. Their aim is a title shot, no matter the weight class.
Guram Kutateladze's staph infection in the elbow didn't heal up. No response from the antibiotics in Dubai, so he's been given new antibiotics in Sweden now and just have to wait. As soon as he's cleared by a blood test he'll get back on the horse, eager to fight again.
Pannie Kianzad is back in the summer, and they're trying to get her booked against Holly Holm or Iana Kunitskaya.
Manon Fiorot tore her ACL in the win over Katlyn Chookagian. When she's back in the summer, they're looking at Alexa Grasso, or maybe Rose Namajunas as they've heard she is looking to move up in weight next.
Anton Turkalj is gonna look like another fighter in his next showing. He was very sick and didn't train for his fight with Jailton Almeida, but felt he had to accept it. He fought with COVID-19 in the UFC debut, so he's going to bounce back and prove himself.
