I get the feeling he will end up being a permanent coach at ATT. His wrestling credentials are hard to match, plus he has MMA experience. ATT also attracts lots of hevyweight talent, so having a larger wrestling coach will help.

Honestly he probably gets paid 10 times more as a coach than as an MMA fighter, especially with WSoF salaries.

Any idea how much coaches at ATT are making?

No clue, but I can't imagine they'd underpay a guy who could get a decent paid job at a D1 university wrestling program. He was only clearing 3k per fight in RFA and I believe 5K in WSoF if I remember correctly, but I could be wrong about his WSoF payout.
 
Jason peppe any good? 3-0 hw fights for cfx in MA

Those were all amateur fights. He looks older, looks shorter, and he's got a belly, aside from that I didn't notice anything spectacular in his amateur fights and he has no special combat sports background. I'm going to say it's likely he won't be a mid level HW in the pro ranks.
 
Curtis Blaydes will fight again at XFO 55 on February 28th. No opponent announced yet.

Looking at their roster, I'm going to say Scott Hough or Wes Anderson. Unless they bring someone new in.
 
rashad coulter is fighting james hall at bellator 135. I can't find anything on him though. I think he's 4-1 but idk. it appears he only fights losing guys though

I just did some digging and it seems Orlando Coulter has changed his name. Coulter's been on my 205lb radar for a while, but I don't know much about him, I just knew he was a 4-1 prospect from Texas.

You know your stuff Paul. Wes will not fight Curtis, he's been asked numerous times, as well as 4-2 Erick Correa.
 
JR Lugo steps in to fight Josh Appelt at WFC 13.

Wooo, go Lugo! As long as he knows the secret to beating Appelt is to measure his gas tank by what color he turns, he's good. Pink = Fresh, Red = Tired, Purple = Gassed.
 
Two Heavyweight fights announced for BAMMA 19 on March 28th.

Karl Etherington (9-1) vs. Kamil Bazelak (1-3)
Mark Godbeer (8-2) vs. Thomas Denham (5-6)

Pretty weak fights for these guys, but I guess BAMMA is trying to build up a little stable of British HWs.
 
Strange, he did really well at 205. Maybe he can get a call up faster fighting at HW, but no way he makes it in the UFC's HW division.
Why? 6'5/195cm and 237lbs/107kg sounds like a pretty good size for a heavyweight. At least if he is somewhat ripped.

He is 27 and definitely got some potential if he manages to become like 240 ripped. And if his skillset was decent at 205 it will be even better at HW.

Sounds like the typical opponent for Etherington. Godbeer's is probably just a warm up, Godbeer isn't a terrible HW, Etherington is though.
 
Daniel James moves to 4-1 with a win last weekend.

WEIRD ONE here, Paul...remember Lance Friedenstein?

After 6YEARS away from the sport, he retrned last weekend too and lost via stoppage against a 6-4 LHW, Ashley Gooch....he's still only 30 though and obviously rusty, 5-2 now.
 
in your opinion is there a top 20 HW out there right now NOT in Bellator or the UFC. not talking potential. I'm talking just straight up top 20

Marcin Tybura is the only one that comes to mind. I could make a case for Sergei Kharitonov if he would fight top 50 competition more consistently.
