Instead of spamming the boards everytime I see some cool news, I’ll post it here. I’ll also keep track of prospects I like, new signings to ufc/dwcs/Bellator/etc.

Yeah but my only issue is they’ve booked barbosa like 6-7 times and he just pulls out of every fight. I bet he doesn’t even make it to fight week

The least they could do is not make it so obvious that they want to sign ottoni and have some other prospects on the card. Alequin sure, but the Nick Alley fight doesnt belong at all.

I mean to be fair, they're giving Ottoni a pretty decent dude with a 16-2 record

True but hes already 29. And Alequin is 32. Even if they get these guys, they dont have long to make an impact. I thought this show was looking for young talent. 29 is okay guess but most of this card isnt that good.

Which barbosa is this? Ive looked at all the tapology pages and I can only find one that looks worth signing but he's a heavyweight.

The one that was scheduled to fight Elmar Umarov in the PFL a while ago where everyone was confused why he was a favorite. His nickname is Hulk - Lucas Barbosa

He is listed as a heavyweight and has a record of 2-1 while the only media outlet to report on these fights so far says hes 0-0. I believe you, its just that there are inconsistencies here.

Haris Talundzic, Ryan Leininger, Felix Klinkhammer, Solomon Renfro, Cezary Olekseizczk all would have been better options.

Or maybe the guys who beat Leninger and Renfro? There are way better options (especially Klinkhammer and Olekseizcsk) but I don't think the PFL is capable of signing all the top tier talent in the world

As for the heavyweight thing idk what that's about, but he is most certainly not one of those big boys. He's a welterweight if I'm not mistaken

Well they have had some big names, currently have good recognition and have a history of their checks clearing. I cant think of any reason why theybwould have a hard time getting guys to sign or why someone wouldnt want to build their name in the PFL.

Thats weird but that fight could be fun if it comes together. Its evenky matched striker vs Grappler.

Update on Cody situation. He is currently in camp with team Allstars in Dubai. Not sure why he’s going to a wrestling camp and leaving his newfound home at xtreme couture but power to him I guess. Maybe he turns into Cody garbrandtov; he’s already got the glass chin all he needs is suppressive wrestling and he’s a full dagi

as I mentioned last week, Jon Furuheim and Cecilie Bolander both won their fights in dominant fashion. Obviously they didnt fight the best of competition since they are both early in their pro careers, but their amateur careers both make them stand out; especially Bolander since she was a top amateur and fights at 145 (and even has fought at 155). They are two young up and comers from Norway to look out for

@ayy I agree. Wrestling is one thing but when people can punch you this can turn out very unpleasant.

Can you kick him in the face? Is he considered a grounded opponent at all times? I have so many questions
