Swedish dude can't grapple, not surprised. And yes I'm aware of the two notable examples out of Sweden before you rip my head off, I don't care like 99.9% of them can't grapple for **** lol

Almeida is murdering any LHW or heavyweight not in the top 5. 

Him vs. Romanov could be interesting.

Almeida is very good and he'll tear up most of either heavyweight or light heavyweight.

I am Outrageous. Jailton Almeida incorporated his double leg flapjack in this one.

If Almeida stays at heavyweight I'd love to see him fight Spivak.

He just fought a beast in his debut. And did better than Jailtons last 2 opponents


He will be back against much lesser competition and i expect a long win streak 

If negemereanu can do it then turkalj can too

foppa420 Almeida has great cardio and Romanov tends to gas. We all saw what happened to Romanov in his fight against Tybura and also against Juan Espino. If they ever fight, Romanov needs to get that finish quick. Otherwise Almeida will put that pressure on him. They are both have crazy strength though. So it would definitely be interesting to see that fight happen

No Turkalj is horrible. One of the worst fighters I have seen.

But yes Almeida is that good.
