It's very hard to make a fight exciting when your opponent insists on making it boring.

I met Kaleb once, he was a pretty chill dude

Why is arman on the list? He just brutallized and finished Dan Hooker with relative ease, and has finishes of 3 of his last 4 opponents. Only one he didn't finish is going to be a first ballot hall of famer.

I guess you've got a point. I just feel that Arman will start blanketing people when he gets to championship level fights.

Once someone gets their title fight, they start fighting a lot safer. I think Arman is taking risks because he wants a title shot.

Do you know what RAF is? RAF has literally zero impact on any UFC signing. UFC golden boy Bo Nickal is one of their champs. Chandler, Buckley, and other UFC-signed fighters have competed here while under UFC contract. UFC doesn't really care about grappling stuff.

I get that. But he was supposed to be in the process of possibly signing again a couple of months ago. Accepting a match 2 months from not suggest that signing likely didn't come into place or he would be focused on a fight. The UFC are obviously alright with their guys wrestling, but the timing of it all suggest the meeting they had with him last month likely didn't result in a contract signing.
 
i feel that the true reason the PFL turned him down is because of the speech dana gave that "he thinks the PFL is gonna get a great undefeated guy" & PFL didn't wanna give the impression that they are where the UFC rejects go, so they turned him down goin like "hahaha see we have standards!" Had dana not mentioned PFL by name, Mokaev would be in the PFL as we speak. THere is no doubt in my mind.
 
The thread title and the actual thread context makes no sense.

Is that even a thing? Most of PFL's best fighters have never even fought in the UFC.

I feel like that was more of a stereotype associated with Bellator.

"Tell ya what, Dana..
We're more than happy to take your lineal HW champion off your hands.
Not only will we over pay him for a non exclusive contract, we will 100% go all in on an expansion into Africa's mma scene...
We're gonna make sure he gets not 1, but 2(!) Life changing bags while going 0-2 in boxing

And, even if he bails on our company roughly 18 months after his 1st (and last) title fight in PFL sells 10,000 ppv buys, even if he blatantly ditches the Africa cards he insisted we bankroll, even if he says publicly that he'd be happy to return to the ufc...
you can rest assured that we're much more than just 'the home of ufc leftovers'
We're just as much the death of Bellator too"
 
So they don't give titleshots to guys like Evloev and Arman, but gonna sign this guy? Highly unlikely.
