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.

It´s for the interim belt, so there is a chance he is injured

His activity almost certainly means he’s sitting out for dwcs. It’s the same thing with Muin gaufarov. After winning that belt he hasn’t fought because he’s secured a dwcs shot

Also dana dropped a lot of good news at the post fight presser last night 

1. Stipe vs Jones will headline the MSG card 
2. Dana officially confirmed Jacksonville and Boston (yay!) events in the coming months 
3. He is working on a new co main for 288 & there’s a very good chance Durinho will be fighting. Dana said burns hasn’t stopped blowing up his phone for a shot

Topuria's big bro the UFC should just sign him if he wins let him sink or swim, brothers on the same card is always cool, im guessing he was doing hardcore greco training in Georgia with Illia before the family moved to Spain

I’m pretty skeptical of his skill. I don’t think he’s very good but we will see. I have a feeling he will lose badly when he fights someone with a pulse

Also Bobby green said he is NOT retiring after this upcoming fight, he said he’s changing his name to king green🤣🤣🤣 

Pretty weird but hey at least he’s not done yet. I think that’s the right choice because he’s got 3-4 more good years in him imo

Ilia vs emmett has been moved to June 24th main event. Good decision by the ufc, that fight needs to be in front of fans

Do Bronx vs Benny rebooked for 289. That is a much needed addition to the Canada card

Seems we are getting some dwcs signings. I have heard from Shawn bitter (a reliable source) that John Sweeney and Bruno lopes will be on 

Sweeney is 12-3 ( 4 ko 2 sub) and on a 6 fight winstreak. He recently won the lfa 135 championship beating bjj ace ary farias. He trains with Stephen Thompson and as you would expect, he fights with a karate style. He is super fun to watch. He strikes with swag and loves to taunt. The biggest concern is his ground game. He did survive ary farias who has elite bjj, but ary hasn’t adapted his bjj to mma all that well. Sweeneys notable wins include 2 ex ufc fighters (cole smith & chimmy morales), Keith lee, and ary farias. Unsure of how well he will actually do but he is a fun striker 

Bruno lopes on the other hand is a top prospect for 205. He is the lfa 205 champion and is 11-0 (5 ko 4 sub). Footage is limited but since coming to lfa he has looked like a world beater. From 2013-2015, lopes was a WW. He took 7 years off and bulked to 205 and seems to be a new man. He’s got skills everywhere. I expect him to go very far in a thin division like 205

More dwcs news from Shawn 

lok dog and jhonata Diniz will be on dwcs this year 

Diniz is 5-0 with all 5 wins by first round ko. What makes him so special is he has a glory kickboxing background. His kickboxing record was 16-5 and he was the WGP champion. Since going to mma, he has fought 5 times in a calendar year. He’s only fought bums, but he has been looking realllly good. His highlight reel is insane. Obviously there’s a lot of questions to be answered, but his striking looks amazing thus far. It’s heavyweight so hard to tell exactly what his celing is, but for now I’d say he’s got a bright future. He is 31, but at heavyweight age isn’t as much of a factor 

I’m sure most of us know lok dog by now but for those not aware, he may be one of the most exciting prospects in mma. He is 18-3 with 14 ko’s and 2 subs. He was the former uae warriors bantamweight champ but lost the belt in an insane FOTY contender. He since bounced back with a first round murder of a good prospect. Lok dog is so much fun to watch. He is super dynamic and always looking for the kill. One issue with his style is he never has his hands up and is prone to getting caught. Against top competition it will cost him but his head movement is very good. I think lol dog has a clear celing due to his fight style, but he is going to be very fun in the ufc. I think he will be a fringe top 15-25 guy.

Brazil cards are always stacked with good records LFA does big events down there, MMA must be the national sport in Brazil by now, they like football/soccer aswell though

Hope they can get Rafael Tobias. Young, undefeated and is a LHW who trains with Do Bronx.
