Lucas Caldas

Country - Brazil
Weight Class - Lightweight
Age : 28
Promotion - Shooto Brasil
Team -
Record : 6-1

The kind of come forward Brazilian kickboxer that's right up my alley in terms of entertainment. This guy is just coming straight forward, straight at you and is going to try and knock you out and dare you to do something about it. His right hand is an absolute missile and he seems to land it hard at will in every fight I've seen him have so far.

Takedown defence seems okay so far. Generally prefers to try and turn away and kick out which has worked against the guys he's fought so far but remains to be seen how it'd hold up against high level wrestlers.

Only defeat was a DQ he got for a stomp to the body when he was kicking the absolute shit out of the dude which I didn't even know was an illegal strike and certainly don't think it should be.

You can't stomp the body? Also stop with 6-1 30 year old prospects but not listing Shakban Gapizov, it's insane.

He should be 7-0. If you watch the fight he got DQ'd in he was beating the absolute shit out of the guy before the stomp.

He's fought bums only bro, you'd expect him to maul them if he was remotely decent.

To be fair he's running through people. I dunno if he's more fun than good but we'll see. He's certainly entertaining

Speaking of more fun than good, is the dude that beat Lacerda decent or was that just a case of Daniel being a fraud again?

Looked pretty good to me tbh. He's in his 30s though. Ground and pound was very hard.

Sabrinna de Souza

Country - Brazil
Weight Class - Flyweight
Age : 24
Promotion - Shooto Brasil
Team - KHK/Nova Uniao
Record : 3-0

SDS isn't your usual 3-0 prospect as she's arguably the amateur GOAT of women's MMA. Since turning pro she's upped the ante on finishes and her striking kind of reminds me of Amanda Nunes a bit in the way that she just lands these stinging bombs over the top which she sets up pretty well. Massive threat in the grappling too with really good takedowns, very strong ground and pound, back takes and sub threats in a variety of different ways.

Cardio and pace look really good so far too. She seems to find it difficult to find girls who are willing to fight her on the regionals so I think they need to speed run her into the UFC really as even at 3-0 I don't think she'd have any issue at all with entry level opponents.

Even scarier now she's proved she can make flyweight where her power and strength advantage should generally be considerable.

Kurtis Campbell

Country - England
Weight Class - Featherweight
Age : 22
Promotion - FCC
Team - MMA Academy Liverpool
Record : 7-0

Excellent UK grappling prospect. Wears bright shorts, exploding onto the scene at featherweight. Has kind of long hair and looks to sub and ground and pound guys and trains in Liverpool but I promise he's not Paddy Pimblett (he's not even at Next Gen).

Top control looks excellent, primarily the kind of guy to look to get to mount or back and do damage or look for a sub from there. Impressive fight IQ for someone so inexperienced in that he knows when a position isn't working and will bail on it to go back to back bodylock and rag his man down and start again. Some really impressive scrambles at this point in his career including somehow managing to take the back from bottom side control.

Currently FCC Champion but it's hard to see him sticking around there long term.
