Having Abbasov and Bonfim on contender series for 10/10 and not signing them outright is criminal, Particularly on the Abbasov end.

Bellato vs. Petrino
Vitor Petrino, TKO, R1
Petrino should keep his pretty record intact

Bonfim vs. Waters
Gabriel Bonfim, SUB, R2
I'd love to see Water's pull off another crazy upset but Bonfim looks legit

Bonfim vs. Abbasov
Nariman Abbasov, TKO, R2
28-3 on the contender series is nuts. It's gonna be very interesting as to how the ufc approaches his career if he wins

Bledá vs. Maia
Tereza Bledá, TKO, R3
Bleda looks legit, Maia doesn't seem that bad but she got the bad luck of the draw on this matchup

Bellato vs. Petrino
Rodolfo Bellato, SUB, R1
Petrino is way more fun but Bellato has more ways to win; he is incredibly good on the ground. Suspect chin tho

Bonfim vs. Waters
Gabriel Bonfim, SUB, R1
Gabriel is one of the top 5 best fighters this season. Dude is a killer

Lawson vs. Szaflarski
Jimmy Lawson, TKO, R1
Szaflarski would’ve dominated this fight, but he pulled out

Bonfim vs. Abbasov
Ismael Bonfim, TKO, R3
I would much rather have abbasov in the ufc but I think bonfim is too technical for him. Abbasov is a wild man and doesn’t know how to have boring fights

Bledá vs. Maia
Tereza Bledá, DEC
Bleda is way more credentialed

Bonfim is most likely gonna win. Abbasov is shockingly un-technical and sloppy. Idk how tf he got sucha good record cause dude is a brawler with nowhere NEAR enough skill to be ranked. And he's not a can crusher either, so with a record like that I'd expect him to be a god but no, I think Bonfim is gonna soundly destroy him over 3 rounds unless he gets caught

Yeah it’s pretty shocking he’s beaten the people he has lmao. Bonfim is way better than him. That being said abbasov is way more fun than Ismail imo

Oh for sure. Bonfim really isn't that exciting. Really passive and low volume, but he has skills that I don't think Abbasov has

I just watched Gabriel's LFA fights. I think there is a great chance he gets ranked in the UFC at some point, he's got super clean striking with really good power and volume. He made his last opponent look like ground beef even though the fight only lasted about a minute and 30 seconds before he got the slick sub

But I am fully on the Gabriel hype train, he's got it all. At only 25 as well he's going to do very well
