plus getting a perfect pick on that kind of fight is even more satisfying

That's how I felt when I picked Usyk to beat Joshua. Didn't get the perfect though.

Referring to that previous conversation I kinda started, Tapology has a massive potential, since I joined this site the activity is probably few times bigger, it already is a reference to many community dialogues outside this forum, fighters speak of it in interviews, journalists often do their research here etc.

With a little activity on social media and maybe targeted ads it could get even bigger, refreshing the design would help to hold more people in here etc. Right time to do it in my opinion, a lot of people joined the mma community while quarantine started, they are maturing to exit the casual phase and forums like this are being searched more frequently. There are and for sure would be a lot of ideas how to improve this site etcetera, but talk is talk, I can talk, you can talk, but we dont know **** about coding and programming and how hard, expensive, time requiring it is. I'm still kinda new here, but if what ratfish said is true, then not a lot of changes has been made over last years if any.

I just realized that I know mma for 13 years, but became a fan in 2020 

We know this stuff works now, and it's being suppressed.

The media and big pharma have a lot to answer for.

Who wins Strikeforce Grand Prix Cormier or 2018 double champ Daniel Cormier?

My top ten prospects in MMA currently. Wondering if you guys have any prospects your monitoring or looking out for? 

Bo Nickal legitimately has the potential to go incredibly far in MMA. He's only 26, one of the most accomplished American collegiate wrestlers, a Middleweight and he trains out of ATT. A lot going for him. Garry & Cedric are in a similar situation, both just shy of 30 years old but are already so accomplished in their respective sports. I think they can go far, Cedric will most likely debut on the Contender Series or be a fill in for a PPV. 

Buchecha, Pereira, and Marcus are already in their mid 30s, I doubt they have long MMA careers sadly.

Charles Johnson will go pretty far I think. Fights on LFA this Friday and either gets a contract or a contender series look. He’s very good everywhere

I think Joel alvarez is a serious serious prospect at LW. Once he fixes weight issues I think he will be top of the division  

Roberto soldic is probably the best fighter not signed to the ufc rn 

Interested to see when Anvar boznarov goes with his career. Storied kickboxing career with a win over Giga, just got a massive 21 second ko a couple days ago. He’s older and hasn’t fought great competition but he looks promising. 

I guess people know about him now but I really think jamahal hill will go far in the ufc once he works on tdd. His striking is top 3 in the division imo. I would only favor jiri and ankalaev over him in striking 

I forgot to add onama but I saw he’s on your list so that’s good. His performance against mason Jones was insanely impressive. 

I also forgot longo and weidmans new prospect nazim sadykhov. This dude is so technically sounds everywhere. I expect big things from him in the future 

Also I know contender series has rarely produces serious prospects but I think jack della and Michael morales are going to be problems later in their careers. The tape I’ve seen from them both already shows they’re ufc level 

Long & Weidman are housing a lot of good prospects. I also got Charlie Campbell on the list but it cuts off after the top ten. Phumi Nkuta out of there looks good too. I like Hill and Maddalena but I wonder if Alvarez will be able to consistently make Lightweight, if I had to guess he goes up sooner or later. 

Roberto, and other Champions from major orgs, I don't consider prospects because their already so proven. He's in a Chandler situation where if he came over he's already in title contention. 

That’s a good point actually. Also alvarez said he’s getting a nutritionist and that he weighs about the same as what WWs weigh so I think he should make weight no problem next fight. Also totally forgot phumi nkuta, that dude is also going to break into a major org soon. Very good talent 

That's really good to hear, he's a great talent. Probably gonna pick Alvarez to beat Arman

Also my b for the spam but I also forgot josh wang-Kim. Extensive amateur career and has a very fun style to watch. Takes the wonderboy karate stance but also has a very good ground game 


Yeah same I think his submission game is too good to be stopped by wrestling

It's no problem, why I asked my original question to see if you guys knew any prospects. Actually never heard of josh wang-Kim but that amateur career is really solid. 

Yeah I saw his cage warriors debut and was hooked. He’s sooo exciting to watch. Has a twin brother who also has an equally impressive amateur record too so that’s cool

My best way to describe him is: wonderboy on the feet, royval on the ground. On the feet he has that same style to wonderboy and contstantly switches stances while throwing unorthodox strikes like side kicks or spinning backfists. On the ground he’s constantly granby rolling to initiate scrambles and always attacks a submission. Has a good get up game too even tho he is more than comfortable fighting off of his back. 

I’m like genuinely impressed with what I see out of him. I think he has an incredibly high ceiling. His CW debut there wasn’t a second where he wasn’t in complete and total control of the fight. His tdd was flawless, his shot selection and timing was perfect, and he put his opponent in danger almost every second he was on his back

Finally, I’m forgetting his name but I know there’s this Mexican guy who trains at entram gym; Olympic wrestler but he’s got hands too. Ko’ed all 5 opponents with killer standup. Pair that with Olympic level wrestling and athleticism and you’ve got a terrifying prospect on your hands  

Edit: his name is Alfonso leyva. Remember the name

Anybody knows if a Masvidal's IKON FC event will be created here at tapology?

@Cangrejo just happened to see this. It must have slipped through the cracks. We have editors covering different regions around the world but I guess nobody was looking at this promotion. Look out for it shortly.

Mike Tyson Jake Paul in the works, it makes me dislike this guy even more.
