I hate everything about the prospect I picked. First of all, you're Ukrainian. This Moldovian crap is nonsense. OH I get it now, its how Sergey got his Visa...


2nd, you didn't land a SINGLE punch in your debut vs Walt Trashcan Harris....now stand with Tai confidently!? HA



Lying sack of ****. Bet you're on roids. 100%.

Yea even after 6 months...AKA would severely improve Tai. 



but not without a nutritionist as well. Less BBQ's & Beer....





and I love AKA Thailands barbarity approach but their classes are either wrestling or thai boxing and everybody talks about the language barrier...string it together guys.

Spivac is pretty agile tbh... looking at the heavyweight rankings rn he should give couple of them a run for their money with that judo game of his

a new Razor Blaydes maybe?? probably not lol but maybe a poor mans version at the very least

also Bam Bam is young enough to evolve but only if he changes camps otherwise its off to bellator
