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.

Younger tafa is the better prospect

He’s taller and less of a fat **** and has way more kickboxing credentials than his brother. He also has fought decent competition for 4 and 0

He stays active as hell too. I like lane for the career improvements he’s made, but if he stands with tafa I think he might get slept

King Francis released from UFC? This is old news now but damn.... Goes for the Bellator HW title now? Or maybe a run in PFL, I think he dominates wherever he goes

Maybe RIZIN will have him over for some spectacle fights

Tbh the only Ngannou fights I'm interested in seeing are him against Malykhin and Buchecha in ONE or Mowry/Isaev winner in Bellator. Bader aint got **** for him and Moldavsky lost to Bader so...

I can almost guarantee Ngannou goes to pfl 

They will pay him whatever insane money he wants and they will still let him box, which is what he really wants

Fran said himself all he wants is to box and Gypsy already said he would box him, hope for Frans sake he does a tune up first.
Unless he goes broke I don't expect to see him squishing lames in FPL or Jelltor, ONE maybe as a freak show "custom rules" beings the rules are whatever the dude says they are.
Really sucks for Stipe he is one and a real short rematch probably never get another chance and he is getting older.
Now when Tom easily takes the throne there will be one question mark what if we will never know.

Hearing rumors Chris Duncan has been offered top kazakh prospect magomed kabardiev as a possible opponent for 286. I doubt he takes it (wouldn’t blame him in the slightest) but my god that would be an amazing fight. Even if he doesn’t I know ufc was interested in kabardiev on dwcs

He will get signed eventually which is good. Either Duncan takes the fight or he gets on dwcs. He recently signed with sayat/rubenstein for management so he’s basically gauranteed to be in the ufc one way or another

Mokaev vs jafel filho ufc 286. Don’t understand why the ufc is loving throwing their dwcs guys to top prodpects. I mean, filho legitimately looks like a top 15 level guy but damn he’s getting a tough debut

only the guys the UFC wants or thinks that can be stars get the "easy" or "favorable" fights early on. otherwise the TUF and Contender Series people are just fodder for the UFC guys. they're there to make sure certain people can progress in the organization gaining experience and W's on their record, and if they get lucky they can start getting a highlight reel going to promote them easier down the road. 

We'll have to see how the UFC takes in all these recent changes. What damage are the Krause and Dana drama going to bring 6 months down the road? How are they going to be affected by Ngannou not being under contract? How long can they use McGregor for after they lost Diaz and guys like Masvidal and Adesanya seem to be losing their star power? How is this Russia/Ukraine war going to keep affecting certain fighters? The list goes on. Basically, I just want to see if the UFC gets desperate at any point, because we should be seeing a difference in how they start booking their fights.

@AyyyLmaonnaise

Do you know if Bekzat Almakhan or Azat Maksum are signed with Sayat? I know Asu is and apparently has gotten the call from the UFC but looks like he has to finish his brave contract. Hopeful these guys get signed too!

It looks like maksum is managed by nuraddin sadykhov, who owns octagon (which would explain why maksum has stayed there so long). As for Bekzat I can’t tell. Sayat follows both on Instagram tho. I too hope they get signed because they are both beasts

I love these narratives about the UFC being in trouble when Dana doesn't seem to have to go through any repercussions, and the UFC still considered being the best MMA organization right now

I hear rumors Azat is soon to be signed and that Asu will probably be after his Brave contract since he got called up by the UFC but was still under contract and he has Sayat as manager. Bekzat doesn't get enough love. Along with Kabardiev these are the 4 best Kazakh talents in my opinion, but there's several others worth signing too.

Yeah that doesn’t surprise me. Azat is a beast. I think he’s more likely to get signed through dwcs

This is another fight I don't ******* understand in the slightest. Why are they feeding Jafel Filho to Mokaev instead of giving him a step up??? Same thing for JSA and Taira (and that one is worse because Aguilar is Mexican, and you'd assume that the UFC would want to build him up as well since they don't have many of those dudes on their roster and its a market they'd like to get into) Same thing with Mendonca getting fed to Basharat. Just... why? It's understandable when they need short notice replacements like with Brunno Ferreira, but in these other cases its like they're just using these DWCS as cannon fodder
