News PFL Beats UFC to Yet Another Elite prospect....

[Joinho10]

UFC drops the ball on yet another elite prospect. This time being LW Amru Magomedov, who's widely regarded as the No. 1 prospect in MMA right now. Seriously what are the UFC doing? The guy has everything you want in a fighter. Complete skillset, aggressive standup style with the ability to finish the fight wherever it goes. He's even marketable and comes from a known camp.

Honestly this feels like an even bigger loss than Paul Hughes signing with PFL. That one came back to bite them. Wouldn't surprise me if this one will as well.

Good news though is that this likely opens the door for Usman Nurmagomedov to make the jump once his PFL contract is up. Usman and Amru have a brother-like bond much like Khabib and Islam.

The UFC probably just figured out that they already have enough bearded dudes who wrestle

This one is really fucking good. All violence. Watch some of his fights. I think you'll like even if he isn't American.

Now im interested to know. What sort of fighters do you want in the UFC? I

 

[BroRogan]

Good luck fighting once a year at the annual PFL event in Dubai or Qatar.

I think what most actual fans and the ufc want is exciting personalities with market appeal... we have better Russian neck beards in the UFC in Imavov, Umar, and Islam.. how would adding some 9 and 0 pro noone heard of until you posted this change the bottom line or fan engagement... the UFC is more excited about signing an old MVP and I would say so are the fans


Edit. Is it Umar or Usman thats in the ufc?

American males are small, soft, arrogant, lazy and overweight 999/1000.

You’ll figure the rest out for yourself, I guess.

Although he can wrestle. He is not that type of fighter. He is Muay Thai-based with aggressive striking and slick submission skills. Watch one of his fights. I think you'll like his style.

Look how he did UFC vet Alex da Silva in a round.

If the foreign champs are blocked from entering the US your guys might have a chance.
