News Top MMA prospects to feature in UFC Abu Dhabi fight week event.

[Joinho10]

MMAJunkie just dropped part of the lineup for the upcoming UAE Warriors card during UFC Abu Dhabi Fight Week. UAE Warriors usually stack these cards since Dana White attends, but this one looks even deeper than usual with triple header. Headlined by Amru Magomedov and co-main by Asaf Copurov with flyweight prospect Muhidin Abubakar also featured.

UAE Warriors 64

Main Event:

Amru Magomedov (9-0) vs Martun Mezhlumanyan (15-3)

• Magomedov is coming off a first round KO over UFC vet Alex da Silva. Fighting out of Team-Khabib, he brings a vicious, aggressive striking style along with good grappling that makes him dangerous everywhere. Easily an S-tier MMA talent who belongs in the UFC.

Co-Main Event:

Asaf Chopurov (8-0) vs Demarte Pena (16-3)

• Pena is a former EFC and Ares Bantamweight champ with solid experience against quality names like Taylor Lapilus and DWCS signee Louis Lee Scott. But the spotlight is on Copurov here. Widely regarded as the top bantamweight prospect in the world, with impressive wins over experienced opponents. A UFC signing feels inevitable here with a win.

Flyweight Title unification:

Iago Ribeiro (13-3) vs Muhidin Abubakar (10-1)

• Can't say much about this matchup, but I do know Abubakar is an English-Somali top flyweight talent training out of Dagestan so that one will be interesting to watch.

Who do you guys think gets signed off this card? Feels obvious Dana will be in the building. Maybe even filming Looking for a fight. Last time we saw guys like Rinat Fakretdinov and Carlston Harris get signed with Muin Gafurov landing a DWCS contract.

Amru and Asaf should be signed already. Amru is better than Usman Nurmagomedov imo.

Iago RIberio is a just bleed disciple so hopefully he wins and gets signed as I don't like Abubakar very much.

I believe Felipe Buakaw is also on this card, he trains with Fighting Nerds and is also very just bleed.

I definitely do enjoy watching Amru way more than Usman. But I just can't say he's better without seeing him against similar competition. If I were to pick one to have in UFC though, I would go with Amru. I think his style is more fan-friendly and a nicer watch.

How is Abubakar as a fighter? I haven't watched much of him but his story is pretty interesting.

Felipe Buakaw's record looks pretty decent. Any clue who he's fighting?

This card is shaping up pretty well so far. If they can add Osmanli this might go down as one of the most talent stacked regional MMA cards.

Abubakar is alrightish, I don't think he's anything special but he's a decent all rounder. I think Ribeiro should have speed and athletic advantage.

Not sure who Buakaw is fighting yet.

Chopurov vs Pena is a good fight, better than some UFC fights, and a lot of DWCS BW fights
Maybe this card is a DWCS for guys who would struggled to get a visa

Amru might be one of the best prospects in the world. 6’1 lw with great striking and khabib wrestling, Javier Mendez says he’s the best upcoming prospect from khabibs team and will be champ one day

 

[CobraCobretti]

No Abdul Hussein on the card? Such a shame, unless he is UFC bound ofc.
