As long as he's racking fights up. If he strings 3 wins together against solid comp I reckon he gets the call.

If you are interested Shamil Musaev fought at Battle of Champions 13 event at December 10. He won against Gadzhimurad Abdulaev and lost by decision to Aslanbek Kodzaev. No idea if fights considered to be pro mma, mixed rules or exhibition bouts. Full event on Youtube as Битва Чемпионов 13.

What I love is the accumulative damage he was putting out with straight, accurate and high volume shots which is going to drown a lot of people.

Not quite UFC ready at this stage, but give him another year and he could well be.

He is "product" of same gym as Jiri and they were/are sparring partners for long time. So that might be one of main reasons for his attractive style and deadly stand up.

Penaz is moving for 1 year long full-time "camp" into All Stars Gym Stockholm.So iam sure that he will be ready for UFC after year of sparrings with Khamzat, Gustafsson, Latifi and etc....


- last fight vs Cheick "Animal" Kone (eng comm.).... if someone interested

 

Encountered this tweet and it's hilarious to me. Adams is still refusing to change. Even losing to Austen Lane won't get him to rethink his philosophy.

Good heavyweights don't cut weight. There are smaller heavyweights who come in around 230s-240s. This is like Stipe, DC, Ciryl Gane, Cain, JDS, Werdum, Fedor, Bader, Moldavsky. There are bigger heavyweights who are in the 250s or who come in around 260, this is like Francis, Curtis Blaydes, Overeem. And a lot of it fluctuates, but these guys fluctuate between these two categories. The bigger heavyweights who weigh in at 255, they didn't weigh 285 the week before and think "well the limit is 265 but I've got to cut 10 pounds under for no reason", no they just walked in at 255.

The exceptions. Maybe Derrick Lewis and Mark Hunt? But both are power counter-punchers who are relatively immobile and also saw...we'll say limited amounts...of success. They are the overwhelming minority and Juan Adams' style is unlike theirs.

Which is to say, he misses the point entirely. Even if a lot of that weight is muscle, doesn't matter. You don't need that much muscle. You need mobility, agility. Austen Lane walks into the cage around 240. Didn't prevent him from beating Adams. Also, as an aside, walking around at 293 is going to be harder on your knees in the long term, so walking around lighter should be a personal decision anyways. The 265 pound limit is meant to only be a theory because most elite fighters don't come into conflict with it.

He can always get SHW fights, just not in the UFC and the guys he's fighting would be the same size as him, which I don't think he'd like and lets face it he's not getting back into the UFC anyway.
 
Whats the scoop in these guys? They seem to be scraping the bottom of the barrel, tbh. Maximus is 43 and coming off 2 loses...

Bartling is really good but there's noone else that I'm mad about. I was hoping for Tommy Peterson.

My guess is Bartling smashes everyone on the show

What is the upside of being in TUF? Why not go through DWCS, Looking for a Fight, or just straight up try to get signed outright.
 
Long weekend for wrestlers but it starts off strong.

Dan Argueta with a win over Mairon Santos. Improves to 7-0. Still has stuff to improve on before he's ready to be a force in the big show, but he's getting closer.

Tracy Reeder improved to 3-0 defeating Nicholas Whitehead. Whitehead is weird. He wrestled at 184 in college. Tries to fight at LW here and misses weight. Like the opposite of Juan Adams, would clearly be better off at WW.

Jacobe Smith improved to 2-0 defeating William Florentino.

Do you see anyone who looks good at FAC 12? “The Nelk Boys will come down to Kansas City where this fight is happening, and they will actually pick their own fighter,” said UFC President Dana White. “They’ll sign him, and he’ll be sponsored by Nelk, so it’ll be their guy. Fans can go on The Nelk Boys or UFC social media and tell them who they should pick.”
