Great fight.
Stumbled across this round table from some Swedish MMA site with Curtis Blaydes. Really surprised when I saw it.

Tybura/Delija is awesome. It's time we stopped talking about Kudin as a prospect, he's far from one. I stand by that.
Looks like Justin Wren signed with BFC, good stuff, love that dude and hope all the best for the guy.

Thanks! Watched the round table, really cool, Curtis is such a good prospect. Seems like he has his head on straight too.

Delija and Tybura is great yeah. I want Kharitonov to fight the winner already though.
And glad Wren got in a big org, he's good people.

Island Fights spoilers:
Marino Eatman defeats Jon Hammond by unanimous decision. Eatman weighs in at SHW, however he's 5'10 and nearly 30 years old, and has very high body fat, he should be at 205.
Dakota Merritt defeats William Baptiste by TKO.
Alex Nicholson defeats Chaz Morgan by KO in round 1. Love the fact that Nicholson weighs in at 215 and has almost cleaned out the giant 265+'ers that Island Fights digs up. I'd say Nicholson would be a good add to WSoF or Bellator right now at 205.

I guess Minakov vs Fedor will happen if the rumours of Fedor signing with Bellator are true. I mean who else are they going to give to Fedor/Minakov? They are basicly out of options worth mentioning for both of them.
i knew that was a dangerous fight for him, still kinda shocked though.

Nicholson seems to have some really heavy hands, could be a 205lb'er to keep a serious eye on.

According to MMA manager Anton Linder, French HW have signed with UFC.

I love how people on Twitter are thinking Cisse or Asker, those guys would be at LHW if they made it to the UFC, and that's a big if. Ka or Ngannou are the ones who would be looked at for HW, and Ngannou is my guess since he's not only a good prospect who's shown a lot of development, but he's exciting to watch too.

At first I thought it would be Ka, but the hint was "He has dreads." So that for sure has to be Ngannou. Either way I'm excited.

After that hint, yeah for sure. Ngannou is a win win signing, if he becomes a top fighter then you've found the needle in a highstack and brought in a new contender to the division, if he doesn't do well, he's still insanely exciting and the fights will be good.

Agreed, the UFC needs all the heavies under 30 they can get.
Good for him if true, he's def surpassed the local scene. As has Cisse. Idk why he hasn't been signed somewhere as a LHW especially after that Malik win. Hope whoever it is they're making good money and getting respect.
