Unsigned Heavyweights - Thread Two

Holy shit! Brandon Griffin knocked him the fuck out! Brandon Griffin defeats tyler east by Ko round 1 0:24

Yeah, East just stood in front of him and got swarmed. Griffin has some serious power. That was probably the best thing to happen to the HW scene since East wasn't landing in a big show anytime soon, and now Griffin will get that spot.

hopefully he keeps progressing

I can't even really find much footage on him, he just swarms dudes in under a minute. He has a total of 3.5 minutes in all his wins. His lone loss was in a 7 minute amateur fight, which isn't uploaded anywhere.

So hard to say what he needs to work on and where he needs to improve, since he wins so quickly and brutally.

Just thinking, Legacy FC should sign Griffin for a fight with Cody East. Good storyline and if Griffin wins that one he will have the red carpet rolled out to the UFC.

Always wanted to see Tyler fight a few bigger names, but he always seems unable to get a spot in the bigger shows due to his past/rep etc., is he still off and on with trouble these days does anybody know? Out of his KOTC contract?

Still has a chance to get into Bellator. Fantastic win for Griffin.

Great idea!

Shit, Griffin has a ton of potential!

How old is griffin though? And the legacy could be a good idea but idk. I don't want this to be a luck thing, then him go inside there and get destroyed. Still would bring him along gradually. Idk how Cody east isn't signed to the ufc yet honestly now that we're talking about it.

Griffin's 28. Still really young for a HW.

if he wasn't in RFA and had a fight scheduled I'd probably do Griffin vs Dale sopi. Come to think of it you could prob match him up with someone like Dan Charles.

Came here to post this lol. Ive been sparring with Tony at Nashville MMA.. Really Really good dude, and (despite his body type) he is athletic as FU*K! Robert Neal is a big strong striker, with nasty kicks. I was cageside and Tony absolutely obliterated him. Nice win.

Tony needs to fight more often, and erase that ONE FC loss to Lokteff, and the UFC will probably come calling...he's very decent.

Awesome! Do you know if he's still under contract with OneFC by the way? I was going to message him on twitter to ask but if you know, all the better!

Honestly I'm not sure? I'll prob see him
In the morning if he doesn't take off. I'll try to find out real quick.

That'd be amazing, thank you! I'm really hoping he's back on the free agency market again, he's UFC ready right now.

Tony said he IS still under contract with ONE FC, but allowed to fight with other promotions. I asked what about UFC, he said it's a possibility.. I don't know how that would work hmmm

They could set up fights with Brandon Vera or McSweeney in One FC

Huge thanks for the info! UFC/Bellator would probably demand exclusivity for contracts. I'd like to see Tony in TitanFC, that way he can fight lots of former UFC HW's in Titan to add to his resume, and finish off his OneFC fights.
