Unsigned Heavyweights - Thread Three

Paul L said:
I won't be adding him since this was a one off, he isn't serious (yet) about fighting in MMA fights.

If he does move into MMA I'd put him at #6 to start (if we're talking my current list).

I'll be adding Jaideep Signh to my honorables though, since he looks like he's dedicating himself to MMA.

Any thoughts on Raul Catinas? He put a post on his facebook recently saying that he is now retired from kickboxing and focusing 100% on mma. There is pictures of him in a BJJ gi and also pics alongside Gus and Manuwa. He's 27(i think) so he's not old.

Also.... fantastic thread dude. This is one I'm constantly keeping an eye on. You know MMA very well and you're an asset to sherdog!

Seems to be training at Allstars as well which got a pretty intresting lineup with Gus, Latifi, Manuwa, Pesta and Blachowicz. I think Yosef Ali Mohammad trains there occasionally as well.

Ah, probably just showcase fights, but I do hope he decides to fully switch over in the future, but I guess there's not much incentive when you're a world champion in the sport you already compete in.

Thank you!

And Catinas switching over is amazing, he's a real heavyweight too, big dude. I'm being greedy when saying this, but I hope way more HW kickboxers switch over to MMA, especially ones in their 20's.

Looking at their roster of clients online, I'm going to say Jon Hill.

Out of the current unsigned HWs, if you were to debut a wave of prospects for the UFC in one year ala 08 (Carwin/Cain/JDS/Lesnar). Which of the current unsigned HW's would be ready to go in 2016 as injection of new talent in the division.

Curtis Blaydes - Early 2016
Sergey Pavlovich - Mid 2016
Amir Aliakbari - Mid-late 2016
Bilyal Mahkov - Late 2016 (already signed to UFC though)

Those would be the 4 equivalent to the Carwin/Cain/JDS/Lesnar introduction, those guys have super high ceilings.

Yosef Ali Mohammad, Denis Goltsov, Denis Smoldarev, and Marcin Tybura are all good thoughts too, and they will be out of contract in 2016.

If for some reason they nabbed all 8 of those guys in 2016, the division would look much more fresh.

I couldnt find any stats on him at all. Length/Weight/Age/Reach?
 
Jungle Fights Results:

Bruno Cappelozza defeats Sandro Bezerra by TKO (punches) at 4:21 of round one. My prediction on that fight was correct. Cappelozza moves into the Rizin heavyweight tournament at the end of December with the win.

ACB Results:

Salimgerey Rasulov cracks Michał Andryszak's chin with a super quick KO. Andryszak can never quite shake his poor defense unfortunately.

PLMMA Results:

Bartlomiej Bartnicki is out of his fight due to serious injury. At almost 35 years of age, I think he's probably going to be stuck on the sidelines due to many injury issues.

He just can't take a punch. btw Rasulov looked in better shape than usual.
