News UFC boosts Heavyweight division with 3 new signings

[BoxerMaurits]

The UFC has added three new Heavyweights to the roster:


Max Gimenis from Brazil is a BJJ black belt under Júlio César Pereira (GF Team). A very decorated grappler with multiple IBJJF World and No-Gi World titles at the Masters level, he now carries a 6–1 MMA record.




Marek Bujło from Poland also joins the roster. Another BJJ black belt, he’s a multiple-time Polish champion and IBJJF medalist. Bujło has made an explosive start in MMA, finishing all six of his fights in under two minutes to remain unbeaten at 6–0.




José “Montanha” Luiz from Curitiba, Brazil represents the Gile Ribeiro Team. At 29 years old and standing 6’4”, he holds a 6–1 record with all of his victories coming by finish (four submissions and two knockouts). His only loss came by decision.

I feel like athletes are rushing to go pro too soon. Prospects have been lackin lately.

3 future GOATs

 

[Neck&Neck]

I’m rolling with that HW Polish Power !

 

[TR1]

Can't be any worse than what we have now.

 

[TriangleMonkey]

[EndlessCritic]

I'm still recovering from that time I got excited about the UFC signing Erokhin.

 

[Mohawk Banditó]

As long as they don't get into the rankings by grinding out decision wins, they should be fine. That's not allowed at HW.

 

[DougieJones]

Nice

The UFC should be signing every half-decent HW they can find

 

[Trabaho]

So they all got 6 wins ?

6 6 6

 

[theincognito]

Probably just 3 more warm bodies. Looking at their records, they've all fought dogshit competition.

 

[Dr. Rose]

Think any of these guys can make some noise in the UFC Heavyweight division?

With the current top 10, absolutely!

 

[Thy]

so they doubled their hq roster size?

 

[Necrocrawler]

I wonder who’s facing buchecha at their debut

 

[Cameron]

Max is a very high level grappler. He could be a decent mid level guy. I could see as a fringe top 15. He is kind of old if I recall.

Not aware of the other guys. Polish kid looks promising. They are also producing really strong Jiu-jitsu these days.

 

[Nihongi]

So they all got 6 wins ?

6 6 6

 

[JBJ was here]

Can't be any worse than what we have now.

Clearly you don't remember the last time a BJJ giant with similar MMA experience joined the UFC HW division.

 

[Pequeño Corey]

Anyone know how to pronounce the Polish dude’s last name? Bujło?
