[Fact Checker]

Carlos Ulberg? What are you guys smoking? He’s been so sheltered in his UFC run and paired up against unathletic one dimensional strikers, he’s also looked very vulnerable with his pedestrian grappling and his striking striking defense is a massive liability. He can’t check kicks and leaves his chin in the air in most exchanges, he’s gotten away with it because he’s fought very slow guys for the most part.

Tell me someone who have more potential in LHW.

Menefield is slept on for sure far harder strength of schedule. Ulberg only gets favorable match ups because he’s on Izzy’s crew, I don’t think he’s even on Dustin Jacobs’s level.

I don't know about more potential, but Vitor Petrino and Rodolfo Bellato are both must-watch prospects IMO.
I do rate Ulberg very highly though. I think he would be a big star if he weren't so physically repulsive.

I disagree.
Ulberg is much more athletic, hits harder, fights behind his reach, does more damage and can follow it up with volume.

Menifield can test his TDD.
The enigma is how Ulberg will cope in wrestling and whether Menifield will crush him when he gets the flu. But in stand-up Ulberg will do half the work with lead hand control. You can't compare it.

It’s modern light heavyweight. He’ll probably be able to top out at number 7 or 8 in the rankings.

also who the fuck is isaac dulgarian

Unpopular opinion. High pace of chain wrestling, transitions, top control, gnp, submissions... In stand up he seems like worse version of Chad Mendes.

 

[Marko Atanasovik]

Vitor Petrino

Legit. He is too wild I think Ulberg can counter him, but okay I can accept it.

 

[Ares Black]

also who the fuck is isaac dulgarian

A must-watch prospect. He is a wrecking machine.
