Amazing signing, Im glad to see the talent being distributed among the different orgs. Loughnane also re-signed with PFL, and the Kayla Harrison saga isnt finished yet, so she might end up re-signing, too.
Curious about two things, 1. how much did pfl offer to make Silvera turn down the ufc and bellator? 2. where is pfl getting their money to keep signing these fighters?

That's a huge signing for them, I thought for sure he would sign for the UFC. Really surprised that he hasn't. PFL must have chucked a bunch of money at him.

This fight with Barry v Jackson was booked in 2020 I believe. Weird he's signed a new contract without even fighting on the last one.

He got signed when a dyslexic member of staff got asked to sign Ian Garry.

He definitely seems like another Charlie Ward, an Irish fighter with connections to you know who, and a poor record. Ward was amazing, UFC signed him, saw him get tossed on his head and thought "nah, we can't even be arsed pretending with this fella."

We've been on the final year of WSOF/PFL since before David Branch jumped ship to the UFC, at this point I'm sure they'll be around until the sun explodes.
The day PFL and One cease activity is the day I'll believe the world is flat.

Edwin Cooper Jr
Country - USA
Weight Class - Featherweight
Age : 28
Promotion - LFA
Record - 5-1
Cooper is a highly impressive wrestler in an MMA setting. The other thing that makes him impressive is how aggressive he is with his ground and pound which really separates him from the lay and pray guys. He's very good at isolating a hand and throwing vicious GnP with the other hand causing severe damage to his opponent. Dominant at moving from position to position and seems to be able to take guys down at will.
In short, he's a problem.

Promotion - AKA/Ikon
Record : 5-0
Pretty special looking prospect imo. Has a kickboxing base and the speed, variety and lack of tell on his kicks is insane, just very difficult to read where he's going to hit you. Last fight I watched he absolutely chopped some poor dude's leg into mincemeat to get a leg kick stoppage, this time he countered a dude rushing forward with a highlight reel KO headkick.
My only slight concern about him is that he did get wrestlefucked as an ammy, but it looks like he's improving in that aspect as he scrambled up quickly this time rather than accepting bottom position. Also I do need to see him against some better competiton. Jared Gooden fights in the same organisation and would be good.
Reminds me of a Jamahal Hill who's more kicking based.
