Weight Class - Middleweight
Age : 25
Promotion - Hexagone
Team - London Shootfighters
Record : 8-1

I feel like I'm kinda cheating with this one but PFL let him walk so I'm claiming him as a prospect. He should be undefeated really as the Rosta fight should have been a draw and I always felt he had the highest ceiling of the Bellator MW prospects.

He's a London Shootfighters trained guy and he's got the MVP striking style, he's obviously not quite as slick as MVP but he does have really good power unlike a Klinkhammer or an Alfie Davis. Dude is also a good offensive grappler and can smash guys with ground and pound on the mat. He does maybe need to work on his get ups a little as he got frustrated a bit by Rosta in the first couple of rounds before beating the shit out of him in the third.

First post Bellator fight was a predictable dog walking of a late replacement Brazilian and he shouldn't be on the regionals for long.

Why the fuck has he got the Jamaican flag?

I kinda go back and forth on this guy. He's had his good nights and his bad nights when I've seen him. What I can't deny is the speed and athleticism is off the charts. He's also really dangerous off his back when you take him down and throws up triangles and armbars quickly. Striking is quick and accurate. I've seen his gas before but since moving up to 170 that doesn't seem to be so much of an issue. Creamed a solid regional guy in Gennrich in his last fight and seems like he'll at least make the contender series.

Reminds me of Anthony Pettis a bit in that he's an athletic dangerous striker who can be taken down but is dangerous off his back too. Not sure how he'll do but if he has half the career Pettis did he can't complain.

Thoughts on George Mangos?

I've only seen him crush a can once because he normally fights for HEX and it's hard to get hold of fights there but his boxing looked decent and he's also supposed to have good BJJ.

I'd file him under could be very good but I can't find enough footage to formulate a proper opinion.

He's on DWCS so we'll soon find out one way or another.

Record : 8-1

Foro has absolutely mad power for the strawweight division. A former kickboxer, seven of her eight pro wins have come by KO including her last six in a row which isn't really normal in WMMA.

Her only loss is a split decision loss to multiple time IMMAF champion Beatriz Consuli at flyweight so there's no shame whatsoever in that.

On her current streak she's just routinely walked girls down, sized them up and knocked them out to the head or the body in a style that's kind of reminiscent of Jessica Andrade.

She's apparently on DWCS against PFL Europe Champion Shanelle Dyer, so that should be a really interesting scrap.

I checked this guy out after being impressed with Neemias Santana in his LFA fight at the weekend. I thought he was a big, aggressive athletic guy and I was interested to see who beat him and saw this guy on his record.

So yeah, I watched a couple of his fights. In the first one he takes his opponent down and beats the fuck out of him with impressive grappling before insta-tapping him with a guillotine when the guy tried to do something back so I figured this guy is an impressive grappling prospect. Then I watch his most recent fight in which he has no interest in grappling and just waits for a pressure guy to make mistakes, kicks the fuck out of his legs and times excellent hard counter punches and then obliterates the dude with a massive high kick.

So yeah, this guy looks absolutely terrifying everywhere.

Man, that beatdown she put on Esquer in her last fight was something else.

He needs to be at 170lbs.
 
Sean Clancy Jr. got another win today, but he got himself in some dangerous positions, namely in a deep kneebar that he found a way to survive somehow which is admirable. I think he would benefit from 1-2 more fights in Cage Warriors before he moves on.

Tbf that Gomes is pretty good though. He had a very close fight with Melk Costa before he signed for the UFC.

I agree he could use another one though. I think his next fight should be for the Cage Warriors title against the Sheehan Vs Burlinson winner.
