Unsigned Heavyweights - Thread Two

[Paul L]

Sopi will end up being RFA HW champ if he doesn't get signed before then

I'm still on the fence on Sopi. I wasn't impressed by footage aside from his power, but he is young and does train at a strong camp, so we'll see how it goes, it wouldn't be the first time I've been proven wrong on a prospect.

What are some of your other favourites?

Spoiler

Konstantin Erokhin (8-1) vs. Dave Huckaba (21-6) - Looking forward to the demolition.
Scott Barrett (15-4) vs. Kenny Garner (13-7) - Sloppy but someone is probably going out.
Azunna Anyanwu (7-2) vs. Plinio Cruz (6-5) - So so fight, probably a quick win for Zu.
Christophe Walravens (3-1) vs. Brandon Groenewald (5-2) - Awesome fight, looking forward to the winner vs Van Zyl.
Adam Santos (1-0) vs. Arjan Bhullar (PD) - A Canadian olympian HW? Yes please. Should be interesting to see how he does.
JR Lugo (4-1) vs. Derrick Williams (0-1) - Sloppy brawl that will be a good KO.
Curtis Blaydes (2-0) vs. Brad Faylor (2-1) - As you know I'm really into Blaydes as a top prospect. Add another notch to his belt.
Josh Appelt (10-3) vs. Carl Seumanutafa (8-5) - Another sloppy KO. Always fun.
Dave Herman (22-6) vs. Jon Madsen (8-1) - Amazing fight, can't wait to see Madsen return.
Ryan Martinez (10-5) vs. Brandon Griffin (3-0) - Ryan Martinez is replaced by Tyler East for this fight. This will show if Griffin is legit or just another W on East's record.
Chris Barnett (11-1) vs. Darrill Schoonover (13-6) - Enough said. Great fight.
Dillon Cleckler (6-0) vs. Richard White (16-16) - More squash matches for Clecker, but seeing Cleckler fight is good enough.
Dakota Merritt (1-0) vs. Alex Rozman (4-18) - Former college athlete Merritt could turn out well, but he will get the Cleckler treatment from Island Fights for awhile.
Robert Neal (2-1) vs. Tony Johnson Jr. (7-2) - TJJ returns! Really excited to see this fight, he's been training with Deontay Wilder and AKA, what a way to improve your skills.
Dennis Smoldarev (9-0) vs. Marcin Tybura (11-0) - My favorite for the remainder of 2014.
Damian Grabowski (19-2) vs. Konstantin Gluhov (28-14) - Say no more, great matchup.
Chase Gormley (10-4) vs. Dale Sopi (6-0) - Both guys I never had high hopes for who have been doing well lately, excited to see what improvements they've made.
Mariusz Pudzianowski (7-3) vs. Pawel Nastula (5-5) - Guilty pleasure, like Mcdonalds and scotch.
Ricco Rodriguez (53-21) vs. Dion Staring (30-10) - Pulling for Staring so we see him vs Delija.

Yes!!! About time!

 

[juddy96]

Tony Johnson Jr. is only one of the many prospects with fights coming up.

whatever happened to Shamil Abdurahimov he fought in july but I remember him being more active and talked about

Alexander Volkov vs Roy Boughton at Tech-Krep FC "Battle Of Heroes" 12.12.2014

Not a missmatch, Boughton was able to control Goltsov on the ground a lot of time. And Volkov has questionable TDD and ground game. Hope, Goltsov will also be on the card.

Weird to see Volkov having a stay busy fight outside of Bellator.

Konstantin Erokhin KO's Dave Huckaba in the 1st Round. Erokhin is now 9-1 with 8 wins via KO/TKO.

Seriously if the UFC doesn't sign him they are crazier than Dan Quinn at a stevia factory.

 

[DrGlaze]

How Erokin isn't in bellator or ufc I beyond me

That's how I feel about Maxim Grishin.

 

[sdy]

How Erokin isn't in bellator or ufc I beyond me

His fight against Rogers wasn't very exciting to watch. But last 2 wins make a good advertisement fo him. And he doesn't want to fight in the bellator, especially after that story with his teammate Ruslan Magomedov.

How Erokin isn't in bellator or ufc I beyond me

It looks like Bellator lost interest in Russian these days.
As for UFC, they have the worst matchmaker in the world.
