Now that was one impressive Sub from Khizriev... Like he says in his native tongue, have the contract ready Dana, cos Khizriev will definitely be capable of going up the ladder of the UFC... Shiguemoto looked to have decent kicks and strikes too and they appeared to be thrown with power... Unfortunately, he was matched a little harshly... I'm sure he will come again... Just Not his moment to shine in front of the Boss... 🖋️🤔🥊👊👊🥊👍

I thought he was going to make a prophet out of me when he cracked him with his first lead left hook. Drako is a great boxer, shame he didn’t get more of a chance to shine there.

Next up Phil Hawes. 3rd shot at the UFC. Was a uber prospect a few years ago. Hope he finally makes it

I was confident in Drako Rodriguez finding a finish and beating Mana Martinez, but once again, that was impressive... Have the Contract ready Dana.... He can strike and his Boxing ability, movement, accuracy and timing looked beautiful... On the ground, Rodriguez was comfortable and ultimately just more in control on the Mat... Martinez tried to impress the Boss a little too much and in my opinion, although he looked decent, he picked the wrong tactics, by allowing the fight to go to the Mat, rather than keep it standing, using his Karate experience and expertise and trying to keep Rodriguez guessing with different kicks... The time was a little too early in the MMA Development of Martinez, but man Rodriguez looks ready to introduce himself to the UFC Bantamweight Division... I also think he will be a great addition to that particular Division, plus he his still a young prospect at 24 Years old 🖋️🤔🥊👊👊🥊👍

Give Drako a quick turnaround on fight island against Ode Osbourne, another contender alum with a first round sub who needs to bounce back from a loss to Kelleher in January.

Well, that’s three contracts so far. Vicious leg kicks from Hawes, like seeing that diversity from him.
