Limelight My big stupid hype trains thread.

Dariya Zhelzhyanova signed for the UFC as their Bantamweight signing spree continues. Good signing again.

Renfro is a really good signing for PFL. I don't know why Bellator weren't all over him if he'd given up on the UFC for now. He's a glass cannon but he's entertaining and charismatic as fuck.

I wonder if he signed to fight Doumbe in Paris. It would be a great match up, IMO.

Doumbé has 4 fights and Renfro 13. I think Doumbé can only fight fighters with 8 fights or less under French commission rules

Think the Fugitt loss is still too fresh for them.
 
Mauro Mastromarini from Argentina is a bantamweight to keep an eye on. With UFC looking to continue signing fighters from Latinamérica and expanding in the region, he’s most likely on their radar. He’s the Samurai Fight House bantamweight champion and is 14-2. He just had his first fight outside of Argentina in Abu Dhabi with UAE Warriors 36 and he lost, but he looked great. It was an Islam vs. Volk kind of loss where you steal the show in the defeat. He’s only 24 years old, but I could see him show on Dana White Contender Series or on an APEX UFC card at some point.

Interesting, wonder if he's similar.

Fight ended in 1:22 in first round. Opponent, who is not a wrestler but comes from taekwando tried to take him down, Umar landed a few elbows and Uzbekistani guy ended up with injury of right arm. So TKO win for Magomedov.

Yeah he's good. Will need to get a couple of wins to get in now probably but he's got a fight lined up in SFH and he's young so got time on his side.
 
About Rakhim Midaev, RCC posted on their social media that Vyacheslav Svichev wanted to fight him and then posted that Rakhim agreed. So this fight might happen.

Yeah against Rogerio Monteiro. I think he could win it and get a call up to the UFC. He told me he could make 125 on a 20 days notice. He also said he wouldn’t mind fighting at 145 because he doesn’t cut much weight to make 135, but his true division is 135.
 
Tapology says Chamsoudinov fights in the next Ares FC Event in the Main, for some reason Sherdog has it not listed.
Experienced opponent in Escudero, excited to see more of the kid his last fight was crazy to watch live.
 
Manuel Exposito and Carlos Petruzzella from Argentina are prospects were keeping an eye on as well. Both undefeated and they are 2 of the best grapplers competing in MMA in Argentina.

Petruzella is a bit sloppy imo. Loses position a lot, I'm not confident in him making the next step up.

He's always active on the ground which is why he tends to lose position. He doesn't like playing it safe and he's found some success because of it. I'm sure if he got signed somewhere and had a full training camp overseas, that's one of those things they'll tell him he needs to chill on. I think his stand up is his problem and even then he always looks for ways to cut the distance and get takedowns. I'm curious to see how he would do against competition elsewhere.

Exposito signed with Combate. He should be debuting at some point. He's mostly a BJJ fighter with OK stand up, but he's got a brutal guillotine choke. I think he'll do well there.

Yeah they're okay from what I've seen. I think Prado , Vallejos and Mastromarini stand out from the other Argentine prospects though.

Country - Chile
Weight Class - Featherweight
Age : 25
Promotion -Combate Global
Team - Elemental Dojo
Record : 10-0

I'm not entirely convinced this dude is from Chile. He looks like a Dagi, but apparently he is from Chile, so there we go.

Wherever he's from he's an awesome prospect. Fights at a great pace, good on the feet, good on the ground. Confident enough with his GNP to sit and pound away in a dangerous guard like Martin Bravo's without any issue in what was a step up in competition that he made look easy.

Probably outgrown Combate at this point.
