got one for you @Hellowhosthat -


4-0, all finishes as a pro. Undefeated as an ammy with a bunch of finishes too. His last amateur fight was against a stud uncle chael paid to fly in for the card.

Training out of American top team Portland. Good striker and his grappling isn’t lacking. I’m really hyped on the kid

Radley da Silva

Country - Canada
Weight Class - Lightweight
Age : Not sure
Promotion - Battlefield
Team - Not sure
Record : 6-1

Bit of a weird career, this dude. He made his pro-debut 11 years ago and lost, then evened up his record, then didn't fight for 6 years before coming back to grab a win just before the pandemic. Then presumably that fucked everything up for him because he then disappears for another 4 years before coming back just under a year ago and racking up four wins in less than a year. I have absolutely no idea how old he is but he's probably not that young.

Anyway, this dude is explosive as fuck. Absolutely loves throwing hard shots and athletic spinning shit. If I was to look for a comparison I would say think Charles Jourdain but one who throws spinning stuff instead of flying stuff. No idea what he's like off his back but held off the takedown attempts of an undefeated American opponent who seemed like the gritty wrestler type.

Then holy fuck did he hit one of the most beautiful spinning back kicks I've ever seen for the KO. I mean absolutely fucking beautiful.

Age : 22
Promotion - Road FC
Team - Team Stun Gun
Record : 7-0

Let's re-rack this motherfucker. Last time I posted about him I was talking about how impressed I was with his striking, how he was such a poised boxer and how he looked like what I thought people used to think Mikuru Asakura was supposed to become.

This time his opponent decided to shoot on him, so he casually heavily sprawled on him then proceded to tie up a dagestani handcuff and patiently absolutely beat the fuck out of the poor guy in a clinical fashion while looking like he was out walking his dog. When the round was coming to an end and he realised that his regulated time to dish out sadistic punishment was over he just accelerated the ground and pound to get a finish and advance to the next round of the tournament.

Weight Class - Bantamweight
Age : 20
Promotion - LFA
Team - Mutaru
Record : 6-0

This kid looks special. It might sound a bit hyperbolic but he kind of reminds me of Sean O'Malley a lot. He's just extremely poised in the striking, just gets into the zone he wants to and snipes with really hard shots when the opponent dares to open up. Mixes nice kicks and stuff in there too, but one of those guys where as nice as the kicks are, they're just there so he can drop you with a straight right when you have no idea what's coming.

At just 20 years old the sky seems to be the limit for this kid.

Jeremy de la Mata

Country - Peru
Weight Class - Flyweight
Age : 21
Promotion - FFC
Team - Doble A
Record : 6-0

Another really young kid who I think has the potential to reach the very top of the sport. He's still a little rough around the edges in some places but the athleticism he has is off the charts. Strong, explosive, fast, everything you need really.

He did make a bit of a mistake early on in his last fight as he level changed straight into a knee but he ate it like a champ and took his man down and started fucking him up. Very strong, very good control and with a hard grip to break, just a bit of a nightmare to get off. Always looking for subs and to do damage with ground and pound too. Topped everything off with hitting a wonderful belly to back pro-wrestling style suplex which I posted earlier in the thread.
