Lorenzo Hood might deserve a mention. Has a loss to Blaydes via TKO(doctor Stoppage) and a loss to Mario Miranda 5 years ago at middleweight. Blaydes is a tough Heavyweight to come back and fight after years off, let alone at heavyweight. He's really gained mass and has eight first round knockouts.
 
Andreas Spang (8-3) returns to the cage to face J.A. Dudley (7-15) at Matrix Fights 9 on December 5th.
 
i enjoyed his stint in bellator, dig him in general, but wow thats a big jump.
 
Arjan Bhullar def. Adam Santos via TKO (Strikes) at 2:29 of Round 3

Arjan's stats were 5'9 and 233 pounds, which leads me to believe he will be pursuing LHW very soon.

Isnt Santos a good BJJ guy?
Good win for a debuting HW with his credentials.

Very good. He's a second degree black belt.

Arjan looked like he could make 205 and be a small LHW though, so I think he settles at that weight class sooner rather than later. He could probably be a big 185'er if he cut.
 
RIP Guram. I have three fighters to profile now pending results from the next month of fights. Once this month is done, I will be down to 30 fighters with none in queue for the first time since I started this list. Heavyweights are being picked up quicker lately.

Maybe you should let Guram keep his place for a little while to honor his memory, really sucks that he's gone... I still had hope that the guy could accomplish some good things in the sport. He was only 28 which is still very young for a heavyweight.

I'm going to do a dedication at the beginning of the main post for him I believe. It's only fitting since he was the first top heavyweight prospect of the modern era of prospect scouting.

That's really nice.. I'm being honest when I say this, not just trying to be nice due to the recent tragic events, but I believe he would have eventually turned into a solid world rated heavyweight once he put the pieces together. Bigger loss than the MMA world realizes, R.I.P.

Yeah, dude had serious talent. Was a shock when I read the news today.
RIP Guram.

He stuck around in my top 20 for years, which is really saying something. When I first did my profiles in late 2011, he was at the top of my list, and stayed there until his losses. Absolutely tragic.
