Turned out to be a pedo, so hopefully never gets booked anywhere ever again.

No TDD and get ups, exposed badly a couple of times for that now. Kickboxing is fine but you have to be able to defend a takedown to get anywhere in this sport.

Got massive dimensions for the weight class but doesn't quite seem to have the it factor in fight terms. Too hittable and gets stuck on the bottom too much. Could maybe get back onto a prospect list with significant improvement

Nothing wrong with his performances just abruptly decided to retire. Hopefully he's doing well at whatever he's doing now.

- Nyle Bartling
- 6-1-0
-
Looked good against overmatched non athletic dudes on the regionals to the regionals but all downhill once he stepped up a tiny bit.
-

- Jack Becker

-
Was on the up and up on the Aussie regional scene but suffered a horror leg break and hasn't looked the same since.
-

- Jack Cartwright
- 11-2-0
-
Looked a killer in Cage Warriors early on but it's becoming increasingly clear that he has next to no defensive wrestling.

Might make it back onto a prospect list one day. But lost a crucial fight in LFA and now seems in danger of becoming another Brazilian jobber in Russia.

- Lucas Clay
- "Cassius"

Frustratingly inconsistent. Sometimes looks like he could be a solid UFC fighter, sometimes looks absolutely awful.

Man have the wheels fallen off since this guy beat Ricky Bandejas and got to the final of the Copa Combate.
-

- Alden Coria
- "Cobra" | 7-3-0
-
Solid enough regional flyweight but seems to find it difficult against the title chasing regional guys, so probably going to struggle in a major.
-
12
- Tee Cummins
- "The Experiment" | 5-2-0
-
Powerlifter who was doing okay against low level comp but went away after running into Josh Silveira and Dylan Budka.
-
13
- Hugo Cunha
- "Silverback" | 8-1-0
-
Might actually end up in the UFC due to the terrible state of heavyweight, but he's pretty much shown himself to be a plodding one dimensional wrestler.
-
14
- Santo Curatolo
- 6-4-0
-
Really good power for a flyweight, equally bad chin.
-
15
- Mukhamed Eminov
- 18-2-0
-
Loss to Mikhailov didn't age that well if we're being honest and then after taking some time off he gassed terribly, didn't look physically up to the task and got beaten on his return in what should have been a gimme.
-
16
- Laura Fontoura
- 7-2-0
-
Turned out to be a physically weak guard pulling armbar spammer. Not good enough for high level competition.
-
17
- Bogdan Gnidko
- 10-2-0
-
Just doesn't seem to have it against top level guys. Looks good on the offence but seems a bit awkward and chinny on the defence with a lack of takedown defence
-
18
- Tobias Harila
- "Bad Intention" | 13-4-0
-
Exciting and violent but seems to have an issue with anyone who can counter well and lets him march forward onto their punches.
-
19
- Yuki Ito
- 16-5-0
-
Decent power but seems destined to always be a mid/high level Japan guy, difficult to see him ever making an impact on the world level
-
20
- Nikolay Kovalenko
- 9-2-0
-
Looks amazing against cans but struggling whenever he has to fight someone who fights back a bit.
-
21
- Irakli Kuchukhidze
- 4-1-0
-
Saw this guy once and he looked like a beast then promptly lost and disappeared.
-
22
- Denis Lavrentyev
- "Lavrik" | 13-4-0
-
Possibly a bit harsh to call him a bust, but I think as a mid 30's Russia bantamweight it's pretty clear we're never going to see him in the UFC.
-
23
- Yann Liasse
- 9-3-0, 1 NC
-
Good regional grappling lightweight but absolutely demolished when he fought the guys on the cusp of the UFC.
-
24
- Mo Miller
- "Mo Show" | 8-3-0
-
When the going gets tough, Mo Miller does not get going.
-
25
- Alex Morgan
- "The Chess Master" | 14-6-0
-
Looked like Calvin Kattar for a while on the Canadian regionals before the DWCS loss, doing okay there again but seems tough to see him getting to the top level now.
-
26
- Jesus Navarrete
- "El Tanque" | 7-1-0
-
Knocking everyone out easily in Mexico, then gassed and tapped to exhaustion against his first somewhat live body and hasn't been heard from since.
-
27
- Eduardo Neves
- "Bebezao" | 8-3-0
-
Dude always looks fine until he runs into the slightest bit of resistance at which point he promptly completely falls apart.
-
28
- Francesco Patrón
- "Babyface" | 10-2-0
-
Moved up to 145 and immediately started struggling and losing fights.
-
29
- Lydell Poag
- 2-2-0
-
Seemed to have Jon Jones like dimensions to me at first glance, but like most recent JacksonWink prospects, the dude can't wrestle.
-
30
- Ruslan Sariev
- "Suyek" | 15-3-0
-
Pretty to watch against low level guys but seems to get finished every time he steps up to fight a decent quality journeyman.
-
31
- Georgy Shakhruramazanov
- "Tiger" | 13-2-0
-
Got me interested with an amazing spin kick KO, then got finished when he fought decent people and won by lay and pray when he didn't
-
32
- Daniel Skibiński
- "Skiba" | 21-9-0
-
Back when he was on a big streak and killed Acoidan Duque I figured he was on the fast track to the UFC, unfortunately he's since shown significant chin issues and a lack of gas tank and will probably peak as a mid level KSW guy one day.
-
33
- Mário Sousa
- "Coração Valente" | 19-4-1
-
Looked very promising on his first Contender Series appearance but now spends his time alternating between repeatedly losing on the Contender Series, beating cans and occasionally losing to dudes in their 40s.
-
34
- Łukasz Sudolski
- "Pcheła" | 10-3-0
-
Contender Series went absolutely terrible for him and then he went off to KSW to continue his new trend of being brutally finished.
-
35
- Ivan Tena
- "The Titan" | 6-2-0
-
Hard working fighter who got on my radar beating Timmy Cuamba. Just seems to lack the power to keep dudes off him.
-
36
- Daniel Torres
- "Tucanão" | 15-5-0, 2 NC
-
Definitely doesn't suck but seems to have found his level as a good level Euro regional guy.
-
37
- Jesse Urholin
- 8-2-0
-
Good grappler but turns out not to really have anything other than that. Terrible striking and the wrestling and gas tank aren't good enough to let him consistently implement the grappling.
-
38
- Aleksandr Vasiliev
- "Мugiwara" | 12-2-1
-
I thought this guy looked like a Diaz bros style fighter when I first saw him, but he's got a grappling deficiency and although he's still pretty young he seems likely to be a mid-tier Russian dude.

- "Polish Assassin" | 11-5-0

****, low output, low power, does nothing. Takedowns pretty poor. Not sure what I ever saw in this girl.
