Unsigned Heavyweights - Thread Four

[The_Renaissance]

On the same card as that, a 1-0 dude smoked Cody East. He was called Kiril something. Maybe a guy to watch?

Two results from CFFC.

Christopher Daukaus moves to 8-3 with a 1st round TKO of some jobber.

Shawn Teed and Marino Eatman fight to a draw, both are now 5-2-1.

 

[DrGlaze]

Oleg Popov climbs to 6-1 with a hard fought TKO win over Mondragon

He's 26 and has a win over Vyazigin.

I wish we could’ve gotten to see Mondragon lose in the UFC back in the day. I feel like we missed out on good potential entertainment.

mondragon and geronimo dos santos would have been fun in the ufc. and gluhov

 

[sconemafia]

Is Mohammed usman still fighting this weekend?

 

[The_Renaissance]

Sosoli vs. Joynson is a surprise addition to DWCS!

That'll either be a quick KO and a contract for someone (probably Sosoli) or a dreadful decision and none of them will get a recall to the show.

 

[executionermma]

Daniyal Elbaev 7-3 vs. Ismail Sagov 3-2

BYE 2018 finalist Murat Gugov is dropping to 205 and headlining this card

i wonder when last year's tournament winner Adlan Ibragimov (4-0, 29 yearsold) is going to fight in ACA, he has really solid wrestling and decent cardio, very battle tested too, can develop in something for them

 

[The_Renaissance]

Few updates I stumbled across.

Daniyal Elbaev wins via KO, now 8-3.
On the same card, that Gugov guy won via 1st round submission to move to 6-2 but at 205lbs.

Hugo 'Silverback' Cunha continues to develop in quite a decent manner - he submitted Henrique Silva (5-1) in the 1st round. Cunha has a couple of tidy wins now, and climbs to 5-0. I can see the UFC picking him up with 1-2 more wins.

DWCS - Shambolic effort as Sosoli (7-2) vs Joynson (5-0) ended in a NC due to a controversial 'eyepoke'. Some felt it was a punch and should have been a straight TKO. Sosoli looked like Sosoli (sloppy brawler with a mullet), Joynson looked like an accountant with an array of kicks.

 

[carelessandheem]

Colton Herrera 0-0 vs. Reese Forest 1-3
Jared Vanderaa 9-3 vs. Renan Ferreira 5-2
Stan Tskitishvili 0-0 vs. Hidetaka Ohori 1-0
Denis Smoldarev 13-5 vs. Ioannis Arzoumanidis 6-0
Cherif Drame vs. Jimmy Thube dual debut
Shamil Abasov 5-0 vs. Rizvan Kuniev 6-2-1
Khusein Adamov 5-1 vs. Ivan Vitasović 6-4-1
Evgeny Goncharov 13-2 vs. Tony Johnson Jr. 13-4-1
Josh Parisian 8-3 vs. Anthony Coleman 0-4

 

[executionermma]

some results:

• 27 years old Dagestani
  
  Rizvan Kuniev climbed to 7-2-1 with his R3 TKO win via GNP over
  
  Shamil Abasov (now 5-1) on GFC 16

#AndNew Gorets FC champion, Rizvan Kuniev!​

Kuniev's gas tank looked pretty good, and he also looked totally comfortable at the clinch, but it has to be pointed out that Kuniev was much bigger than Abasov, who at 6'0" really belongs at 205
the huge size difference was a factor and made it easy to Kuniev outgrapple and dominate Abasov for a large portion of the fight
Kuniev's both loses came by decision, against former UFC heavyweight Justin Willis (he had Willis badly rocked on that fight) and current UFC light heavyweight Darko Stosic (lack of experience cost him)

• on the same card, 6'5" Chechen heavyweight
  
  Khusein Adamov climbed to 6-1 with his R1 submission win via kimura over
  
  Ivan Vitasovic (falls to 6-5-1)

Adamov took Vitasovic for a ride!​

30 seconds in Adamov went for that huge takedown, looked very heavy on top, established control and advanced through positions very well, some decent GNP to open for the crucifix position and then even heavier GNP (hellbows too ) to open for a nice kimura, good stuff
that said, looking good on the ground is what you should expect from a grappling based prospect that happens to be fighting a Croatian kickboxer with all 5 loses by submission
Adamov's only loss also came through decision, to Alexander Soldatkin (4-3), a basic heavyweight who already lost to Oleg Popov and the previously mentioned Shamil Abasov

• now on LFA 74, 6'10" Brazilian giant
  
  Renan Ferreira improved to 6-2 with his R2 submission win via triangle over EFC heavyweight champion
  
  Jared Vanderaa (drops to 9-4)

Renan "Problema" displayed some sniper-like right hands while striking of the backfoot, i found it very impressive
the first round was all about managing distance using his reach, the jab wasn't there (something to work on) but Ferreira stayed active throwing scary right hands and monstrous low kicks that chopped down Vanderaa's lead leg
the finish came R2 via triangle, but before that Ferreira dropped Vanderaa with a huge and ridiculously fast right hand, and beat the shit of Vanderaa with heavy GNP (sick elbows) for like 1 minute, Vanderaa was a gassed mess after that beating

as far as potential goes, here is my top 4 BR HWs:

1. Renan Ferreira (6-2) - 29 years old - 6'10" - rangy striker
2. Hugo Cunha (5-0) - 25 years old - 6'4" - wrestler
3. Roggers Souza (9-2) - 30 years old - 6'4" - brawler
4. Ricardo Prasel (10-2) - 29 years old - 6'7" - submission grappler

 

[The_Renaissance]

Thanks for the above mate, really detailed! Ferreira is fuckign HUGE man, gigantic HW. Intriguing skill-set too, I'm looking forward to seeing him again. I'd imagine he'll fight the winner of Calyn Hull vs Chad Johnson, a tidy fight in itself. Cunha is the big one for me, I like the lot of him. Roggers is not UFC calibre for me, I used to think Prasel was but unsure now.

thanks bro
yeah, Ferreira truly is a PROBLEM like his nickname suggests, his gas tank looked improved too

honestly i'm not sure what UFC caliber means right now, specially at heavyweight, but yeah i wouldn't like to see Roggers in UFC anytime soon
Ferreira with 2 or 3 more wins ok, same for Cunha
Prasel has a lot to improve in his game, right now it just won't work against legit guys

 

[Blazmo]

Did anyone see Tony Johnson’s fight and was it a robbery? ACA judges are usually fair but there have been some dodgy decisions in the past so I’m curious about this one.

 

[executionermma]

some lesser inspiring results today:

• Estonian giant
  
  Denis Smoldarev moves to 14-5 with his TKO win via right hand + GNP against decorated Greek freestyle wrestler
  
  Ioannis Arzoumanidis (falls to 6-1)

Smoldarev looking like a fucking human scientific experiment, while Ioannis looked like just some guy

Despite the absurd size difference, Smoldarev looked great, in phenomenal shape and very accurate with his punches.
He continues to be consistently inconsistent.
He's pretty good at being the hammer, as most of us have already seen at least once, but when people fight back hard and start pushing him, he often quits.
Still, the gigantic man is only 29 years old, he's not going anywhere and is a tough ask of any prospect out there.
The finish came after a thunderous 1-2, leading Smoldarev to batter a stunned Ioannis immediately. The rest of the fight was a total domination on the feet by Smoldarev.

• 
  Evgeny Goncharov climbed to 15-2 as he outpointed Texan heavyweight
  
  Tony Johnson (13-5-1 now) in a 5 round title fight for the inaugural ACA heavyweight belt

Bizarre and horrendous fight at the same time, i wouldn't suggest watching it for anyone, very frustrating shit.

At the 1st round Goncharov tries to bang with Johnson, head hunting as his life depended of a 1st round KO.
But it gets clear really fast that's not a good idea, Goncharov is feeling Johnson's shots while Johnson is just walking by his punches, then after being almost dropped and clearly losing R1, Goncharov tries a more wrestling-heavy gameplan R2, he doesn't have much success, being able to do something only in the clinch exchanges.
Then he comes out R3, a bit gassed, and starts circling the cage non-stop throwing about 2 to 4 punches (pretty much only right hands) by minute - and Johnson, STUPID AS FUCK, isn't intelligent and/or competent enough to FUCKING close the distance by fainting or just cutting the cage, absolute moronic fight by Johnson, who really lost this one due to a fault of fight IQ, he was the heavy hitter of the 2, the faster guy, the better wrestler, wasn't tired and still managed to drop the decision, you can't make that shit up.
Goncharov had a point deducted for TIMIDITY and still got the decision, judges probably gave him R2 too, leading to a 48-46.

 

[Hypetrainhipsta]

Smoldarev is one of those guys who has all the potential in the world, Imagine if he moved to the USA and started training at a top gym 5 years ago, he could have been a legit contender at HW.

very much like Ivan Shtyrkov, he's also a guy you want to keep USADA away from

 

[Blazmo]

Just saw Johnson/Goncharev and I was somewhat surprised to find it wasn't the clear robbery I was expecting it to be. Round 1 was clearly Johnson's but Johnson did hardly anything in rounds 4 and 5 besides moving forward so to me both of those rounds were clearly Goncharev's. Rounds 2 and 3 were indecisive to me, I couldn't pick who won those rounds as they were both quite close but I can still easily see how you could have Goncharev as a winner in that fight.

Admir Bogucanin's record is impressive but unless he starts proving himself against guys with at least a pulse, he could get to 20-1 and not be signed.

Terrible lineup this weekend.

 

[DrGlaze]

Smoldarev is one of those guys who has all the potential in the world, Imagine if he moved to the USA and started training at a top gym 5 years ago, he could have been a legit contender at HW.

Smoldarev reminds me of Michał Andryszak. Young, built for the division, and good wins. They just always seem to lose the fights that would put them up and get them signed by a bigger organization.
