Holy **** that's a good first fight, glad Mario's getting a 3rd chance seeing how good Chidi's been doing in the UFC, the fact that Mario nearly made it to a decision with him is still pretty impressive.

Aliskerov vs Sousa is a VERY good matchup. You got a contender series veteran in Mario Sousa whos fought tough guys on the regional scene and aliskerov whos only loss is to khamzat chimaev and has beat only tough guys. I got aliskerov by 2nd round tko to ground and pound

Why is Ikram on the Contender Series?! His only loss is against Khamzat Chimaev, he’s a champion in BRAVE, and he has multiple Sambo gold medals. He’s not a contender, he’s a ******* killing machine! *** DANA???

If this fight had been booked a week ago I would've picked Lewis, but watching what Peek did to Khama Worthy makes it hard to bet against him

Whose matchmaker's dog did Sousa kick?

First he gets an improved Chidi and now Ikram.  Do they want this guy in the UFC?  Both of these guys should be in the UFC if Denis Tiuliulin is in the UFC, btw haha.

I'm not saying it is a foregone conclusion that Ikram is going to sub Sousa or roll him in a mat.  It's just, jeesh!  Sousa is now twice getting thrown hard to the fire.  I will say, Ikram won his last fight.  But man, I really thought he would show out a bit more against Na-Shon Burrell.  He could have just had a tough camp or something else could have been going on.  Maybe it was Na-Shon doing good stuff.  I will have to re-watch that fight.  I just remember being excited to see Ikram on that card and then kind of thinking it was just an okay performance.

As far as Sousa, his third time on DWCS?  He didn't look amazing against Mariusz, but clearly won.  He got drubbed by a guy not known for his cardio at all in the third round against Chidi (I will admit Chidi is way improved since his Bellator days), and now he is getting a really good fighter in Ikram.  Either the UFC wants this guy in there or they need a body to test other guys.  I don't know.  But I would rather see this than Jamie Pickett vs Denis Tiuliulin on a PPV card.

As for everyone asking why Ikram is on DWCS and not signed is  simple. Money. They see someone they want who they know will be in the promotion for a lomg time (not some ****** last minute replacement like Turklj) and they put them onto DWCS as a power play and to sign them to a ****** contract or "development deal". End up paying less money. Pieces of ****e
