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.

I still haven’t seen anything even remotely close to an announcement from ONE about Malykhin vs Bhullar, or any fights for that matter. Same goes for these new fights you just announced. Sometimes I wonder where you guys get all this early access info from

Tagir has good staight punches but dosent do well with kicks. And is solid defensively 

And imo he got screwed in that Elliott fight

I will; you haven’t offered any insight as to what makes him elite  

You either just insult me or say keep believing

Gene LeBell Has Died

https://mmajunkie.usatoday.com/lists/judo-gene-lebell-dead-89-ronda-rousey-mma-community-reactions

Well, ****.

89 years is a hell of a run, and he milked all the living out of life that he could. Thanks for everything, Gene. Your memory will be a blessing.

The elite flyweights in no particular order are imo
Figgy
Pantoja
Moreno
Kai
Kape

Some guys like Royval, Askar, Perez and Nicolau are just outside of that list imo. The division has a lot of really good fighters. There’s just a difference between elite and really good for me

Guys like Mokaev and Taira will be on that elite list fast though

R.I.P. Gene one of the pioneers of real MMA before it was really popularized and policed.
Also a ridiculously tough guy made his living as a stunt man and punching bag!
Never forget he choked Steven Seagal and made him **** himself legend!

Finally finished the bantamweights on my prospect list. God damn that look forever; that was maybe 80+ fighters. Then again bantamweight is the deepest division for a reason lol

Id rate Askar and Perez higher than Kai and Kape. Kape so far has only beaten lower levels while in ufc. Kai is good but I think Askar will go further in the long run. Mokaev will peobably be very dominant but Taira is fairly one dimensional. He doesn't have good striking and is heavily reliant in getting the fight to the ground. Even his wrestling gives me concerns when he gets to the stronger guys in the division.

Kape is really good. I don’t rate askar as highly as everyone else. The kkf fight showed his celing imo; people with good tdd are going to give him hell

True. While I don't think Askar will be champ or anything I think his takedown gane wins him most fights but his issue is that he doesn't really have striking. But Kai has multiple weaknesses: once taken down he isn't good off of his back or an active submission threat and the second being he kind of needs his opponents to engage in his kind of fight in order to land his power shots where more disciplined strikers will not.

While I respect everybodies opinions on here I really just don't think Kape is good. He is too low volume on the feet and relies on the kill shot. When it never comes he has lost decisions. He also doesnt have a plan B. I've never seen him actively try to grapple his opponents down and try for a submission. Its always sprawl and brawl but instead of brawl it's just stare and wait for the counter. I hooe he proves me wrong though, he seems like a good dude.

I think kape is very good honestly. He hasn’t had that signature win yet but clearly they think very highly of him too if they gave him pantoja for his debut; I think now that he’s acclimated to the ufc that fight would be more competitve than it first was. He was also robbed against nicolau

Yeah I get the output thing but that was him not being used to the ufc; he said himself he wasn’t used to fighting without shoes. You can see he’s picked up the output too since finding his footing

Incase anyone is wondering I think Pantoja is the best in the division right now.
Imo it's:
Pantoja
Figgy
Moreno
Perez
Kai
Askar(cause of recent loss)

I guess thats a fair argument haha. I hope he fights soon and against a high level guy so we can get a better idea of how he factors in.
