And Yaroslav Amosov

I think Amosov is just waiting for the call at this point. He’s not with the PFL anymore so I’m not sure what’s taking the UFC so long.

Amosov would be a good signing but let's be honest, it was just Curtis Millender.

Nobody wants Curtis Millender.

PFL is a sinking ship, they just wasted a lot money aquiring Bellator.

They wasted money on Ngannou and Jake Paul, they didn't really put much money into Bellator, that's why so many fighters are leaving.

Dang even Oleksandr Usyk telling Dana White to get off his ass and sign his former MMA champion sparring partner Yaroslav Amosov. What is taking so long?

‘Send contract’… Oleksandr Usyk urges Dana White to sign his former MMA champion sparring partner

Oleksandr Usyk: "Send contract, bro. I'm serious."

KSW has always been a borderline feeder for the UFC lol

They were usually pretty successful at keeping their champs and big names for the most part though. Off the top of my head only Gamrot and Jan made the jump, and those two signings were like half-a-decade apart if not more. UFC does seem to be stepping their poaching game up again, is the monopoly lawsuit still ongoing? Would be funny if the only reason they hadn't been going harder for other orgs' champs was because they were waiting for that to wrap up.

Does he even count? He was supposed to fight in LFA like a year or two ago but that didn't come to pass. Got released back when he lost to that team fedor guy.

 

[Prazeres]

Wondered what happened to Magomedkerimov, appears like he quietly retired.
Probably one of the most underated MMA career of all time, going 16-1 in rather deep PFL welterweight division, only losing when a guy he had already beaten made a huge comeback in a fight he was confortably winning.
But nobody will remember him because nobody watched the PFL and he looks generic for lack of a better term.

Not surprising. Dude was a pullout merchant the past few years.

Caldwell was released during the Coker era. Doesn't really count.

Not surprising. Dude was a pullout merchant the past few years.

He fought 5 times in 2018, 3 times in 2019, 3 times in 2021, 2 times in 2022 and 4 times in 2023. The season format likely pushed his body too far.
