Fatima Kline

Country - USA
Weight Class - Strawweight
Age : 22
Promotion - Invicta
Team - Black Hole BJJ
Record : 3-0

Holy fuck this girl is impressive. I'd already been impressed with how easily she dealt with Sid Trillo but this was a step up in competition against more experienced TUF vet Laura Gallardo and she dealt with her with absolute ease.

First off she outwrestled the wrestler, just about every time Gallardo decided to try and clinch up with Kline, she ended up getting put on her back herself. Then there's the switch stance, good footwork movement, allowing her to create angles and get her striking going. Then she also dropped her showing she had power, all this to go with the black belt BJJ we already knew she had. Just an all round great performance from the regular Erin Blanchfield training partner who absolutely looks like the real deal to me.

Yeah I noticed Fatima Kline gave a solid performance in Invicta the other night. Patient, well rounded, comfortable everywhere.

So if you are interested Ignatiev got his opponent announced. Also Aronov is fighting at Brave card in Israel. And next month Lazy Prince, brother of Lazy King is going to make (amateur) mma debut.

My only real complaint with Magomed up to this point was that as dominant he'd been he hadn't really been getting finishes. He changed that at the weekend dismantling Sanjar Azhibaev with his wrestling and top control en route to a back take and finish. If he can continue to finish like this then he could start to attract the attention of the big leagues.

Another Magomed Magomedov? LMAO. BTW i was impressed by Rafal Haratyk. He executed a great game plan, didnt shy away from engaging the Lazy King, and beat him up for the majority of the fight. He was 30 seconds away from beating the Lazy King and tbh he kind of deserves the W.

Yeah he did really well, I had him in the rankings somewhere until he aged out of them.
 
Anyone that catches your eye from this week's PFL show? Reckon Barbosa could develop into something interesting depending on how dedicated he is to MMA.

On paper it seemed like Babulaidze will be a toughie but looking further into it I could see an early finish for the BJJ guy. Don't think Itso's TDD will hold out for very long.

Ottoni is good, nice and violent. I think he's the only one really, Lucas Hulk is kinda starting late.
