With All the Recent Fraud-Checks...

[DougieJones]

Who are you (close to) 100% confident could come into the UFC and NOT suffer the same fate as Pitbull, Mix, Asakura, Pico, ect?


Vartanyan? AAA? Usman? Hughes? Baki? Lazy King? De Fries?


Anyone?

dakota ditcheva.

Nemkov would be 205 champion...

 

[RockyLockridge]

Nemkov would be 205 champion...

I thought he had to move to HW

 

[Bobby Boulders]

Rahzabali Shaydullaev from RIZIN. 24 years old, 15-0, 15 finishes, and has essentially looked unstoppable. 3-0 in ACA, 4-0 in RIZIN. Current RIZIN FW champ. Usually fights at BW.

 

[BFoe]

Either of these two, but especially Nemkov.

I was confident before he actually came. But I was also confident on Picto so there goes that. I'm done trying to guess these kinds of things. There were plenty of fighters from Pride and Strikeforce that came over and won belts. We just have to accept that Bellator/ PFL are not that on that level. RDR is kind of an unlikely success story, but I have no delusions that he'll whiff a belt, especially with Borzzzzz being champ.

Bellator still had lombard, Alverez and chandler they made a splash

 

[BFoe]

Oh, also Anatoly Malykhin, if he can pass the…uh…required physicals.

would he be the same fighter though

Yeah and Jiri from RIZIN. Even Manel Kape from RIZIN has done well overall. No championships and he had a rough start, put he’s put together a decent UFC record.

Yeah Eddy did win a belt. Fair play.

Patchy Mix is a fraud. Kinda early to say the same about Pico. He had the co main slot and was just trying to give us a show. Getting a elbow from hell was the result but shit happens when u try and please the just bleed gods.

And Mix just happened to beat guys like Horiguchi, Sergio Pettis, and Magomedov with some kind of fraud magic?

 

[NicholasJBasile]

No one at this point -- you just never know lol

this guy already got fraud checked even with his special enhancers by Reug Reug. they will rematch this Nov 16th so we'll see if he can redeem himself but getting outgrappled by some African dude is hilarious for the "Russia #1 grappling where you from?" crowd.

why did you think Pico? he was already fraud checked several times in Bellator of all places.

 

[WoozyFailGuy]

Lazy King and Nemkov are the only two I'm confident in at this point. Lazy because I think his grappling is astounding and he matches well with most of 170, Nemkov would do well because LHW is in the dumps.

 

[wolffanghameha]

Usman N, Paul Hughes, Nemkov, Eblen, Fabian Edwards, Nemkov. All would be clear top 10.

Most of these "fraud checks" weren't huge surprises. Asakura is a striker and his ground was a question mark. Patchy already had a decline in Bellator for some reason. Pitbull was known to be over the hill.

Pico gave Lerone his toughest 3 min (impressive considering the opponents Lerone's had, who couldn't pressure him like Pico did), but got shown to not be at that champ level. Since he was hyped as being ready, so I guess it's a fraud check.

I'd like to know how a reverse fraud check would go too. If UFC's top 5 went to ONE and PFL would they all win? Or do quite a few lose their debut to unknown fighters?
