Limelight My big stupid hype trains thread.

According to Bilostenniy he is signed with some foreign promotion and has an English visa. From what I understand said promotion cancelled fights of Russian fighters (and allowed him to compete at this RCC event) but he is now preparing to fight at September event for them.
Isnt that Bellator Dublin event in September? Maybe that's where he is fighting.
 
Could he have signed a contender series fight?
Nope. DWTNCS are happening in USA and seems like he was scheduled to fight in England. Plus, there is no info about them cancelling fights of Russian fighters.

It all points to Bellator, they can really use some fresh blood at HW.
 
@Hellowhosthat will be devastated if his boy Bilostenniy doesnt end up in the UFC.

Doesn't sound like the UFC, that doesn't match the criteria.

Tbf he didn't look great on Friday, very, very close fight with some random big Brazilian dude, needs to work on his cardio, he was absolutely knackered at the end.

Kornilov looked a lot better trashing Luis Henrique.

Cunha and Kornilov have been the best HW prospects for a while, IMO. Cunha signed his life away to ONE but hopefully Kornilov makes his way to the big leagues soon.
 


Combate in shambles. I thought they had more views then the UFC! How would they let one of their stars go without a fight to the UFC.

With her plus the other girls signed to DWCS, the UFC's 115 is getting a revival. Now with Carla fucking Esparza as the champ, they need as much new blood as possible.
 
BTW, Why doesnt she need to go through DWCS, lile the others?

Bruna Brasil

Country - Brazil
Weight Class - Strawweight
Age : 28
Promotion - LFA
Record : 7-2-1

I was more interested in Yasmin Castanho coming into this fight, but boy did Bruna make her look average.

Really one of the best taekwondo style WMMA strikers I've seen. Hands down, quick movement in to strike, back out again before any counters come back and then usually back in again to counter the failed counter. Also possesses a lovely repertoire of spin kicks and gets her high kicks up beautifully. Also looked pretty comfortable when she needed to grapple with black belt opponent.

Extremely impressed, could be in the UFC immediately based on this performance.

Fatima Kline

Country - USA
Weight Class - Strawweight
Age : 21
Promotion - Invicta
Record : 2-0

2-0 is earlier than I usually go with people, but I'm going with Kline primarily because her grappling style is going to be such an issue for people. Just superb control once she gets people down, beating them to the next position and threatening with subs and ground and pound constantly. Beat Sid Trillo who was a well regarded prospect very easily.

Reminds me a bit of Erin Blanchfield in her grappling style.
 
Part one of new rankings.

Since last time #24 HW Hamdy Abdelwahab signed for the UFC and #21 LHW Zac Pauga has made the TUF finale so I've taken him out as he will be fighting in the UFC for one fight at least.
