Limelight My big stupid hype trains thread.

Btw @Hellowhosthat can you do a little look up on Tom Pagliarulo when you got some free time please? He fought on CCFC and CES recently so it should be on Fight Pass. Curious to know your thoughts on him.

We talked about him briefly a couple of pages back. Looks fine but has only fought cans so far so difficult to gauge how good he is
 


Sounds like Raisov is off to EFC for now rather than Bellator.
 


Good for Zviad, he beat Ricky Steele really dominantly in the LFA.
 
I don't think he's ready. 10 of his 12 wins came against debuting fighters. It's a big step up to be in the UFC. I'm rooting for him but it's a big step.

I'm 50/50 on him, yes he has a lot of padding on his record, but Ricky Steele is a pretty decent UFC litmus test who's won on TUF and DWCS and that fight wasn't even competitive.

He is fighting Marlon Moraes, though. He will get his shit kicked in.

There is also EFC 39 event that starts in 1 day and 23 minutes (according to pragramme) and I think it will be on Youtube. For some reason it's not on Sherdog and Tapology list it as happening in 2022. If you are interested in card, check EFC in VK or Instagram, perhaps (Facebook page didn't has updates in months).
There is also Open FC card happens next Friday (somehow not on Tapology but I didn't checked Fight Finder). You can find some info about card on their Facebook page.
