I found this thread interesting, 100% of my attention are on the elite fighters and potential candidate that could be the next elite fighters. Of course this thread is for free agent. Of course.
But experience taught us there is nothing that is for granted and no fate guaranteed. If someone is special it will be known.
The example that I can give is Troy Worthen, he was 7-0, left handed, southpaw, wrestling background.
Now he is 7-3, and probably retired from MMA. All it took was decent competition.
Raimundo Batista was 12-0 in Brazil, he got destroyed by Yusuf Raisov in one round.
Khusein Askhabov was 23-0 and lost to an average fighter.
I can list you a list of 100 fighters who were prospects and got destroyed. But that is to be expected, 80% of prospects fail, as MMA is just a tough world.
A prospect is not a prospect until being tested seriously by at least two serious tests. If not he will remains just a potential prospects.
You were right to notice Axel Sola, for those who do not know, he is planning to train in Dagestan for a whole month to improve his wrestling. Good mentality, already good skills. He has a bright future. Good luck to him.
One last thing, Vladislav Rudnev is a genius, already 10-0. The P4P number 2 Ukrainian fighters, just after Amosov. He is special.
