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.

Why on earth should there be an age limit?  Rosas looked terrible in his last fight but his fight on DWCS and his first fight he looked alright. Cameron Saaiman is barely 20 and he is going places.  Tatsuro Taira same boat and then throw in Denise Gomes and Jauregui to name a few.  Unless you mean a max age limit which I could still argue is dumb.  Plenty of older fighters have come in via DWCS and have done alright.  I would rather watch someone older who has been around the regional circuit and knows how to fight versus some inexperienced kid who just got in because he trains with the right people.

Age limit for 30+ years old mediocre prospects, not youngsters. 

If it's some top prospects or someone with a good marital arts background(BJJ, Wrestling, etc), then I'm fine with it. But I don't see any appeal in putting mediocre 30+ years old guys on DWCS.

I would say cap it at 35+. There's still room for improvement until age 33/34

Dabbling in some speculation here, but I think Talita Alencar probably is the replacement for Fabiola Pidroni and will fight Stephanie Luciano, we just found out late that Pidroni is out.
Also with Farias and Ruffy we know they will fight dwcs "vets", where as said before for Farias it could likely be Connor Matthews and for Ruffy im actually somewhat certain it'll be Felix Klinkhammer.
If that all is the case, then we only need to figure out Raheam Forest's opponent and one final matchup for it to be a filled out season.

I think 30 should be the max age limit. Unless we get someone from a difference martial arts discipline like kickboxing or bjj

Also what really bothers me about the inexperienced guys with can crushes on their record, is that the ufc is selecting these guys over proven prospects who we know are talented. I get the ufc can’t sign every undefeated fighter from Russia/Central Asia but there’s so many better options than a kid from astra fight team with a 20-0 record of all cans

There is a FW/BW guy, 24, fighting in pro MMA literally since age 13 (?!) He lost his 0 to a guy who may be the top regional bantam from Peru, and that Peruvian having lost his 0 to maybe the top BW regional guy from Chile ha, he is stepping it up lately... If he can get some nice wins in a row maybe even 3 or so good ones, he can maybe get a Contender invite, or flyweight short notice call, BW is real busy/packed or something, and not enough time for this Contender season sadly... But yeah lets go. And he has a win over a Nurmagumedov in grappling rules ha

I am an idiot ha he was already booked for this season but it fell through... Get him in there flyweight is always pretty shallow compared to others

Rickson is very bad. He’s the type of guy I’m talking about. Great record but it’s padded to ****. If you watched his tape, you can see he doesn’t have what it takes

And before everyone swamps me with downvotes whenever I say something they don’t agree with, watch his fights and tell me he’s ufc caliber

AyyLmaonnaise - I agree with you.  He is trash.  Also who cares if you get downvotes - you are the MMA knowledge king.

Lol thanks 

And I know, it’s just annoying af when people downvote even though you speak the truth. I got 5 downvotes in dwcs threads for calling Borjas trash (because he is)

I got a bunch of downvotes for saying Tatiana Suarez looks like Donkey Kong and that Cody Durden reminds me of a high school wanna be skater boi.  I stand by both of those opinions.

Matt Frevola said he will be fighting at ufc 295. Said it’s a big fight; potentially paddy pimblett?

lolol I can't think of a fight I would be less interesting than Dontale Mayes v Nascimento.

Here's an idea - for DWCS - they should have a prospect fight an established boring veteran - i.e. Elise Reed, Mandy Bohn, Kyle Nelson, Dontale Mayes etc.  If the vet loses he gets cut.  Could be a great model lol
