Unsigned Heavyweights - Thread Three

Paul L said:
I'd prefer them to start building young guys too. Although Danho is only 31, I'm just glad Joe Silva isn't wasting roster space on signing guys who are over 35, which he has a habit of doing.

I'm just happy to see another HW in the UFC honestly..... TBH they should be taking a page from boxing and bring in journeymen every now and then to build some of the younger talent up.
 
Maurice Jackson actually made it to his fight, and won via unanimous decision!

Something will happen post fight to make it an NC. Maurice Jackson's fate demands it.

They've actually added a lot of HWs lately, not many have made an impact but they've been adding them for sure.
 
Lorenzo Hood (9-2) vs Shelton Grave (3-3) at Global Proving Ground 22 - November 21
 
Meanwhile, in the good ol' U.S. of A., at KOTC: Elimination, D.J. Linderman (19-9, 0-1 WSOF, 1-1 Bellator) won his third in a row with a unanimous decision over Carl Seumanutafa (9-6, 0-1 Strikeforce, 0-1 EliteXC). Linderman is scheduled to face UFC vet Joshua Copeland for the latter's heavyweight title next month.
 
And at Kunlun Fight: Cage Fight Series 4 heavyweight Evgeny Erokhin improved to 12-4-0 with a victory against Vladimir Mishchenko (7-9-0). Erokhin has won seven straight, including knockouts of UFC veterans Tim Hague, Jeff Monson, and Mike Kyle.
 
I'd love to see Evgeny sign with the UFC but as a LHW.

Same here. He could beat a few heavyweights for sure, but Joe Silva is going to make him go LHW regardless if he's weighing in at 218 pounds like he has been. Joe Silva doesn't like guys floating around at below 220 unless their name is Randy Couture.

That's a great fight, love Copeland, he got a tough two fights in his UFC run, and I thought he should have got a third.

Graves can definitely wrestle his way to a win, but this is Hood's fight to lose really.
