Not really prospect news but Ryan Martinez vs Josh Appelt at Bellator 126 looks like they are really looking to weed out that HW divison. Same with the Butler vs Ayla fight
Another fight they should make is Augusto Sakai vs Freddie Aquitania

Also Adrian Henderson vs Leeroy Johnson. Thoughts on these guys?

Martinez is going to destroy Appelt, he's basically a better version of him.

Butler and Ayala could be close, I'll take Butler by TKO, but if Ayala gets him down and starts to work his smothering ground game, he could take it.

Sakai vs Aquitania, I'd say Sakai would have that one in a scrappy/sloppy 3 rounder.

Adrian Henderson vs Leeroy Johnson, Henderson should be the clear and concise favorite. He's older, but so is Leeroy, and Henderson has fought the more proven competition by far. So I'll take Henderson in that fight.

Tybura made Grabowski look like a 15 year old who just stepped into the gym. I'm honestly shocked how dominant he looked against someone who's only ever lost once to Cole Konrad.

Time to sign with a big promotion, and if he still has fights left on his M-1 contract, Sergei would be a very very favorable matchup he could win to peak his stock. As long as he can clinch up with Sergei, the submission would be easy due to Sergei primarily focusing on standup lately.

What about DENIS SMOLDAREV if he is still with M1?
Or we don t wanna see this fight (Tybura vs Smoldarev) ?

I don't want either to lose. I think they are both very special fighters and I'd hate to see one get a loss.

I liked him when he actually fought. He had a 9-0 amateur record too, but check his current record, he never fights, trains casually with Bobby Lashley, and doesn't seem to want to pursue a serious pro career unfortunately. If he pulls up his shorts and starts taking the fight game seriously then he could be a good fighter. He should sign with one of the development leagues again like Legacy, Titan, or RFA.
 
So is Barnett actually gonna make HW? are the weighs in done already? IGF

Guaranteed he won't, his last weigh in was near 320 not too long ago and it takes longer than that to lose that much weight in a healthy way.

all these fights he's taking though, just hoping it means he's taking his career more seriously and he's gonna come down. the ufc making a super hw division isn't too likely and I wouldn't throw all my cards in that if I were him

325 at least!!!!! i think we all have to stop wishing this kid can move down to hw....

next fight vs tim sylvia 320 catch weight seems more possible
 
Yeah, Barnett will never truly test himself and his potential if he cant make 265lbs.

Which is a shame because the guy does seem like a legit beast. If he'd started pro MMA in his early 30's, he'd definitely have appeared in the UFC. Seems a nasty piece of work!

His striking is crazy for sure. Have him fight Huckaba in a mid life crisis matchup. :p
