Muhammad Mokaev won 2nd round submission

Usyk into the HW rankings /s

what a masterful performance, you don’t get that kind of technical work in HW division across any sport. Makes me wonder how Usyk would do in MMA just off standup skills

Muhammad Mokaev won 2nd round submission

Thanks

@Hellowhosthat Noticed that you don't have Mateusz Rębecki on your prospect list. Just curious what issues you see with him

I haven't seen him fight, no issues with him. Gonna try and catch his next one.

Where would you rank Josh Silveira after that performance? At LHW or at MW?

How long til he's in the UFC?

I've moved him up to #6 in the LHW rankings, I won't rank him at MW until he actually fights there. He can go to the UFC now if he wants.

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.

Rivzan is so stupid trying to wrestle in front of Dana, of course he's not going to get a contract.

What an idiot showing up to Stand and bang series trying to wrestle. You might as well just not go on the show if you’re a grappler. They don’t want any grapplers. It’s a shame because this is mma.

 

[GueseGuy]

Was very disappointed Chris Duncan couldn’t fight last night. Been waiting to see him for a year now. He would’ve smashed that Albanian guy and got a deal.

He picked the wrong time to flex his wrestling, right after Blaydes played it safe against Rozenstruik.

Dana was also not in a good mood today. Oscar talking about Fighter pay put him in a bad mood

Yeah he was pretty obviously in a bad mood.

It's kinda stupid how the future of your career could depend on the mood of a boxercise guy, but alas, this is how the UFC does talent aquisition and since they are the biggest guys in the game, they can just throw a huge net.
