- Francis NGannou
- "The Predator"
- 17-3-0
-
100+<-95 Mid 30s, unreal power, was one-dimensional but has developed wrestling to point that he used it to steal title defense after being picked apart at range by Gane in R1-2, massive explosion in TDs and did it w/ bad knee injury, also showed some shocking BJJ, better at managing energy but still tires easily due to muscle mass
-

- "Bam Bam"
- 15-7-0

7
- Alexander Volkov
- "Drago"
- 37-10-0
