Unsigned Heavyweights - Thread Three

M-1 Spoilers:

Murad Izmailov loses by KO. Ante Delija snaps his leg ala Anderson Silva in the first round against Tybura.
 
Damian Grabowski signs with the UFC as expected.

I'd still like to see them sign Amir Aliakbari, 0 fights or not. There's guys in the division he can easily get by with just his physicality and wrestling as starters. Give him a fight every 6 months at first to move him along slowly and give him gym time, then up the frequency as he evolves.

He is a greco-roman wrestler tho. Almost all wrestlers in MMA had either both collegiate/freestyle wrestling + greco-roman base or only collegiate/freestyle. If he was a freestyle wrestler I would agree with you, but in this case im not sold yet.

Kharitonov? Or possibly Smoldarev rematch.

First is the best option, but Kharitonov takes fights very carefully.
Smoldarev recovers from injury, hope, he will fight Gluhov or Kudin.

May be well known jorneyman.

Eh I'm fine with them having him get one fight. If I recall correctly even Brock Lesnar had one fight out of the UFC. Give him a known guy who's past his best and still fighting and see how he does. Ricco Rodgriuez fits the bill.
 
Patrick Walsh 6-2 vs Tyler King 9-3 added to Wsof 24 also Juliano coutinho 6-2 will be on the card no opponent yet!

It should be since they are both natural LHW's, but I think it's a HW fight. I think Coutinho will fight Magomed Akhmedshaikh Gelegaev if I had to guess an opponent.

Lol his management made him a twitter account as well it seems. If you look at the replies some of the posts they are making are pretty goofy but good to get the name out I guess. Whoever is tweeting for him tweets at the UFC/Dana/Lorenzo a lot so I doubt they are interested in signing with other leagues. I'm sure Bellator for example would love to sign him.
 
Tanner Boser beat Victor Valimaki by TKO in the 2nd.
Adam Milestead fights Rob Morrow tonight
Maurice Jackson returns to fight Eric Iman on October 3rd. (Chances this fight actually happens are pretty low.lol)
 
Is there any real HW WITHOUT knockout power? I was thinking about it and I couldn't think of any hw (with enough fights to rank) that doesn't at least have like 1 knockout or clear knockout power. And I'm not talking those guys that should be like lHW and below that don't wanna cut weight.

Jeff Monson has 3 finishes by strikes after like a million fights and one was due to a broken arm and I wouldn't be surprised at all if the other two were on the ground.
