Unsigned Heavyweights - Thread Four

[Thesnake101]

Oh, no doubt about it - but he's apparently popped for roids and had medals stripped for Iran in the past so I have no reason to believe he's clean unfortunately, it appears to be an issue with Iranian wrestling monsters same with Aliakbari. Fully don't expect him in the UFC, probably ONE. Hamdy's UFC debut was quietly decent, but he's since been suspended for 3yrs for roiding and is suspended again now until early 2025.

Yeah he's super roided, so he's either staying in Russia or going to ONE or Rizin.

Only hope stateside would be for the UFC or PFL to take such a liking to him they make sure he doesn't pop.

wtf happened to a whole generation of prospects, seems all of russian scene stopped mma and is doing non-mma stuff, all my prospects have fought next to nothing in mma and boxed a bunch of other prospects or kickboxed them.

Ed Polo King
PRO MMA RECORD
1-0
King is a 23 year old fighter who went undefeated (4-0) as an amateur. He is a physical specimen standing at 6"8, all muscle, and a naturally gifted athlete.

Steve Asplund
PRO MMA RECORD
4-1
Steve is a 26 year old fighter who went undefeated (5-0) as an amateur and is currently 4-1 as a professional. He is a good striker and grappler, well conditioned, athletic, and pushes a pace that few heavyweights will be able to compete with.

A more dangerous Mick Parkin.​

Unsigned Heavyweights - Thread Four

Preamble: We're on year 10 of this thread, and so many heavyweights here have moved onto the big leagues. I still firmly believe in the power of fan voices, and the ability of forums and threads like this to direct eyes on prospects and give them opportunities they may not otherwise receive. Fans are force multipliers. We find the best prospects, we talk about them, we bring them up to promoters, to scouts, to managers, and we shine light on all the hard work they do. The heavyweights in the first post are my personal list of prospects, whereas the second post contains submissions by community members.

My criteria: I've only listed fighters who have never been signed by the UFC, Bellator, or have participated in a PFL tournament, with preference to younger fighters. Factors I've taken into account when profiling fighters are: Age, camp, record, level of opposition, dedication (fight consistency and athleticism), and skill-set.

He definitely has a big, athletic frame. Looks good for 260

From the looks of it though he was born in Japan - Osaka to be specific - and, to be honest I doubt he leaves. A guy of his frame and athleticism can make good money in japan and it is beautiful society out there compared to the west. Osaka is beautiful. And why come to American and risk getting knocked out against actual competition when you can fight guys like this :

and live comfortably doing it

Also good for this guy :

Most men don't ever weigh 500 pounds let alone lose half of it and look as good as he does and fight.

 

[Siver!]

Denzel Freeman has to be a shoe in for Contender Series, right?

Beat up Hugo Cunha in March in LFA, former Marine, good wrestler.

Yeah, I think Freeman, Hokit, Guarascio, maybe Asplund, will be on DWCS this summer.

 

[UFCIsNOTRigged]

Guilherme Pat & Xavier Lessou as well.

Asplund would probably benefit from another year on the regionals he is still pretty young for a HW.

 

[The_Renaissance]

That Lessou guy's head looks like it's on the wrong body, really skinny frame for a HW.
