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.

Had to go further back to keep track of the conversation. In this case, DrChaotic, Borrego was never considered a good prospect either. He just had an undefeated pro record but had plenty of amatuer losses. When guus are this young in their career it's about finding opponents that have experience but are still beatable. You wouldn't give Bo someone like Caio Borrahlo yet and he's a prospect. There are levels to how you build these guys up.

^well said, you don’t just feed someone with promise to a up and coming guy, you give them guys with good records but ultimately flawed fighters

Thats a perfect way to put it. There's kind of a goldilocks area when searching for these opponents. Not too ****** and not too good. Just enough to push them so they keep improving.

Nah I disagree, I love seeing prospects fight, but. I do see your point. Sometimes I agree with it actually. Maybe it’s just cause I don’t care for Forest in the slightest, but if he were a prospect I liked I’m sure I wouldn’t want him to lose. He only gets a pass because he’s 5-0 though. If he keeps winning he’s gonna need to face another high level guy to prove his worth. Once guys get a certain amount of wins and keep getting fed winnable matchups it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. 

Anyway moving on, I’m glad to see Nickal is back. You guys think he gets another round 1 finish?

Well he’s gonna be I. The ufc next so no more regional fighters. I imagine most 185ers aren’t going to want to fight him tho

Chaotic I can agree with that. At a certain point like 5-0 or something they need to face another 5-0 fighter to test them a bit more.

Was looking through upcoming cards and stumbled upon the RCC 12 card. I saw the co main is Ivan shtrykov vs nasrudin nasrudinov which is just 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. If nasrudin beats him, you gotta think he’s looking at another dwcs opportunity. 2 fight winstreak with a win over a very good (albeit highly overrated) former ufc fighter looks pretty damn good on the resume. Also can’t shame him for losing to jailton because yknow… jailton. If Ivan wins idrk what happens with him given he was dumped before his debut fkr steroids. Doubt the ufc would resign him but maybe pfl would take a look at him. Either way, it’s a great high level fight with high stakes for the winner.

Yeah I saw that fight and it’s pretty dope. It’s RCC as well, so if they have contracts maybe feed the winner (or loser) to Shara? I mean idk that might actually be a tough matchup for him (maybe but doubt it) but it would be a hell of a good fight

Shara isn’t a 205er. Also, he probably is in talks with the ufc after that massive win 


Oh nvm, saw he called out storm shlemenko. If he wins his next fight that’s probably next and then I could see shara getting signed to the ufc

Also paris moran vs Joshua Thawng on at fury fc Fr. Very good prospect fight. Moran likely punches his ticket to the ufc with this one

Ariel helwani said on the ringer podcast that the ufc now wants to do Ngannou vs Jones as Ngannou may be able to return in December. The ufc now wants to make this fight over stipe and they also want this as the final fight on Francis’s contract. In other words, this fight just got super complicated and basically is just never gonna happen so idk why we even get our hopes up at this point

Was wondering that myself. I believe this is a re-run but I don’t know if it’s strictly the main event or the full event as a whole. I have clips of Kovalenko and shara who were the two main guys I was scouting on that card

Okay after further digging it looks like they upload the fights individually a few days after the event

Damn, I can give you the Twitter clips if you want. The Kovalenko one has the full fight cuz it was only 30 seconds and I have the last few seconds of shara bullet

I wish other Russian promotions were more like ACA with their publicity, they're the top show but every fight is uploaded the day of or the next day at most, so much easier to scout promptly
