Unsigned Heavyweights - Thread Four

[Tyrannosaurus rex]

It's a well known fact that UFC is much more likely to sign North American subpar talent than Eastern European decent one.
IMO UFC did a good job with their scouting when it comes to the prospects currently fighting in US, it's the international ones that they continue to ignore, some because are being well paid under exclusive contract, and others who the fuck knows why..

Therefore, when scouting talent at the heavier weight classes, it's smart to always separate it by region. Most of the NA prospects will be in DWNTCS/TUF.

None of the European ones. To be fair, i think most of them wouldn't accept a DWTNCS offer. Only a UFC contract, right away.

Fair enough. Definitely hope that Dana is gonna pick up some HW's from his show.

And sign some of those Europeans HW's. It's such a weak division, so really why not?

Pavlovich is now a free agent. Let's see if the Ufc is smart enough to get him signed

Future top 5 UFC heavyweight for sure if he signs. For what it's worth, the coaches at AKA said he will be a future champion, which is high praise coming from the team that trains Cain and Cormier.

Has Kudin got fucking measles??!!

That's one way to improve your takedown defense...

 

[MMALOPEZ]

Rumor is Ufc and Pavlovich are close to a deal

Rumor is Ufc and Pavlovich are close to a deal

I'd like to see him debut against Justin Willis if he signs. Good fight to test where he's at in the division.

 

[DrGlaze]

I'd like to see him debut against Justin Willis if he signs. Good fight to test where he's at in the division.

I would love a good squash match.
Or I’d like to see him against Adam Wieczorek.

 

[Againagain]

I'd like to see him debut against Justin Willis if he signs. Good fight to test where he's at in the division.

They are both from AKA, I don't see this happening.

 

[executionermma]

i would prefer to see him against someone who comes forward and prefers to strike, like Chase Sherman maybe..
would be a good showcase, and Sherman has a following - that being a bonus

If Coulter didn't drop to LHW he would be perfect...

 

[Thesnake101]

If Coulter didn't drop to LHW he would be perfect...

Is Coulter still signed? If so, wow.

 

[Ronda.Jones.genetics]

Is Coulter still signed? If so, wow.

Guess his no defense style does him some favours.

He is pretty entertaining though...

 

[The_Renaissance]

Hughes in the UFC , then.
He'll batter guys like Danho, Smolyakov, Spitz, Crowder. But I dont see him beating anyone a step up to be honest.

Get this bollocks out of here, lad.

 

[Paul L]

Calyn Hull 4-0 vs. Jordan Seufzer 2-2
Dontale Mayes 4-2 vs. Mitchell Sipe 4-0
Juan Adams 3-0 vs. Shawn Teed 5-1

Two future top 10 heavyweights in Mayes and Hull, and a future champion in Juan Adams. This is an amazing week for prospects.

The event is live on Facebook so you won't be able to watch it until later, but Chad Johnson TKO'd Victor Jones in 52 seconds for the KOTC Superfight Championship at 225 lbs. I'm honestly not sure what the Superfight Championship is if anyone could enlighten me. Johnson moves to 3-0 and KOTC seems to be getting behind him.

Also, at the end of the fight, Jones thought Johnson threw a late strike but Beltran just didn't pull Johnson off quick enough. Jones flips out and starts trying to go after Johnson after the bell and Beltran basically has to jump on his back to stop him. Other referees get involved and Jones gets removed from the cage. It was pretty classless by Jones but seeing him fight before it doesn't surprise me.
