For those following the Canadian MMA scene, Adam Posener is a solid undefeated 20 year old prospect, who has walked through everyone he's fought to date.

He gets his first big test tonight against one of Canada's toughest and grittiest fighters in Zack Powell.

Currently even odds on the betting line. If Posener wins in impressive fashion he should get a call up to DWCS.

Yeah I'm looking forward to this one. Posener looked like a decent BJJ prospect when I saw him for the first time in his last fight.

I'd probably give him another year for DWCS though.

Nah. If he can finish Powell he deserves an immediate big signing.

Powell has never been finished and has fought some tough opposition. Posener has a 100% finish rate. Give him the Canadian Raul Rosas treatment.

BFL still going strong, I worked a few of their early events, got paid in tickets and beer.

Adam Posener is the next Rory MacDonald.

Harrison Woods making his pro debut, jiu jitsu guys know him as the best in BC.

I'm pretty high on Posener as a prospect. He's still only 20.

Powell is tough as hell and he's from just across the river from me. He's a tough test for a kid with only 4 fights. Looking forward to this one.

Not sure if "next Rory Macdonald" is supposed to be an insult or compliment...

Sounds like a pretty good deal

 

[Ares Black]

Posener looks legit so far. Powell is solid and he's making this look relatively easy.

 

[EndlessCritic]

Absurdly good performance by Posener.

He honestly reminds me of a young Charles Oliveira. Very lanky and somehow effortlessly able to finish takedowns he's shooting on the outside. To be able to finish takedowns like that on an athlete of Powell's level is ridiculous.

His biggest hole appears to be his striking, but it's a clear work in progress. Kid has a future.

 

[Hellowhosthat]

Posener has potential but he is absolutely not ready for the UFC yet. I'd give it another two years probably.

Definitely a compliment. I held back and didn’t say GSP but who knows, he may surpass Rory.
