It's not a surprise that most than 70% of these talents are from mother Russia, post soviet republic, and latina america.

The united state is no longer the number prospect factory, Russia is. Russia will be by far the number one as an MMA superpower.
Kazaksthan and Kyrgizsthan will be best to be reckoned with, Russia was able to do in twenty years what the US was able to do in sixty years, in terms of developing MMA.

Glory to the new generation of fighter ! God bless them all !

At HW, there is an African prospect, Abdoulaye Kane, he's from Senegal or Mali. He is crushing opponents in a few minutes so far. I think he's 3-0 or 4-0. He fights in small African organisations and was on UFC Fight Pass last week on AKO
Also, on UFC Fight Pass, ARES / MMA Factory is trying to push Xavier Lessou (HW) and Paulin Begai (LHW) to get them contracts in the UFC
Boris Atangana is expected to move down to MW

Keep meaning to check Kane out, I've got him on a list of HW's to watch at some point.

Good luck getting Lessou and Begai contracts lol.

Baysangur Susurkaev

Country - Russia
Weight Class - Middleweight
Age : 24
Promotion - Borroka
Team - Not Sure
Record : 6-0

Susurkaev left ACA Young Eagles a couple of years ago having just smashed everyone in the first round there. He seems to have relocated to the US but I'm not sure where but he's pitched up in the Borroka promotion where he fought Shane Sobnosky who's a regional wrestler guy who's been around a while.

While he might have been a bit rusty and didn't quite finish Sobnosky he did show enough violence and entertainment to get me definitely interested in him. Loved his aggression and willingness to show his full arsenal and throw the kitchen sink at Shane with a mixture of flashy kicks and hard punches. He also showed he could grapple offensively too, tossing Shane on his back when he wanted to. Only slight criticism is he gave his back at one point but I think at that point he'd just lost all respect for his opponent and was just playing about.

Shah Kamali

Country - England
Weight Class - Heavyweight
Age : 25
Promotion - Levels Fight League
Team - Fightzone London
Record : 4-0

Yep, I'm actually doing a heavyweight. This dude is a training partner of recent UFC signing Mario Pinto at Fightzone London and absolutely blasting guys out of there in Dutch promotion Levels Fight League at the moment. He hasn’t really fought anyone of consequence yet but everyone he has fought has been taken out of there in under a couple of minutes. Clearly very explosive and has power. Obviously we need to see what happens when he comes up against some resistance but given that he's training with Pinto and Stuart Austin every day he's at least getting decent rounds in the gym.

Marko Ancic seems like a good prospect. 21 years old 12-1 amateur, 1-0 pro. Competed in Sambo, BJJ and Freestyle wrestling. About as good as prospect as Croatia is going to get.
