Paul Hughes vs Jordan Vucenic Cage Warriors 145
Razor thin fight, Three round technical battle at Cage Warriors 119. Fight could’ve went either way but now can settle the score at Cage Warriors 145 unifying the Cage Warriors Featherweight title
TWO of the BEST Featherweight prospects in the world facing each other. Exciting matchup that easily can be scheduled UFC Featuring Prelim Fight.
Paul Hughes– Northern Ireland Featherweight prospect, Cage Warriors Featherweight Champion “close” to signing with UFC by revenging his loss to Vucenic. Paul Hughes coming off win against French star Morgan Charriere, Confidence is booming after significant win like that.
Desiring a win in the biggest rematch in Cage Warriors history. Hughes can win this second fight by pressuring more offensively with several punch combinations and those nasty leg kicks. Tweak the clinch game offensively and defensively. Hughes will get his hand raised.
Jordan Vucenic– England’s next group of UFC signings is Cage Warriors Featherweight Champion. #1 England Featherweight prospect. Seven fight winning streak includes wins against Morgan Charriere, James Hendin, Steve Aimable.
Talented as they come, Vucenic is all-around talented Featherweight. Bring the fight anywhere. Stocky strong Featherweight for his weight class leading to himself controlling fighters on the ground.
Vucenic on his way to signing with UFC, Accomplished everything on the regional scene.
Before signing with biggest promotion in the world must defeat Paul Hughes, Won by split decision in his first fight but must break Hughes next time. Practicing with England Muay Thai Champion. Nathan Bendon to knockout Hughes in the early rounds.
Follow the same game plan but “Minor” tweaks from creative combinations, More chances can lead to Jordan unifying the Featherweight title.

Salahdine Parnasse KSW 76
Number One Featherweight prospect in the world, French superstar and KSW Featherweight Champion moving up to Lightweight against Sebastian Rajewski (12-7) for the KSW Lightweight title.
Right now I believe he can defeat UFC Featherweights in the top 20’s range because of his All-Around Skills. Showing masterpiece performances against Ivan Buchiger, Daniel Torres.
French version of AJ McKee. Star factor written all over him selling out 20k arenas as he continuously headlines KSW shows.
KSW will become FEEDER LEAGUE for top three promotions, Gamrot signing with KSW, Soldic signed with One Championship and Paransse once contract expires will become biggest MMA free agent.
French Featherweight can box like Kattar, Quickness like Arnold Allen and solid Jiu-Jitsu for MMA fighter. 24 year old Featherweight hasn’t reached his potential, Imagine what Parnasse becomes in the prime of his career.
Defeating grown men in his early 20’s, Looking like old time UFC veteran with massive fighter IQ.
Parnasse stood out to me when defeating Ivan Buchinger Former M1- Featherweight Champion, Cage Warriors Lightweight Champion, XFN Featherweight Champion one of the best fighters to never fight in the UFC. Displayed masterpiece striking performance. Best win of Parnasse career that will impress Sean Shelby and Mick Maynard to sign him.
France legalized MMA, UFC headlined first event Ciryl Gane vs Tai Tuivasa, It was tremendous success. Due for Parnasse and UFC to finalize a deal, Bringing Paransse to America and showcase his world class talents.

Felipe Douglas– Second best Brazilian Lightweight, One of the best Lightweight prospects in the world opportunity to finally fight for Legacy Fighting Alliance. SFT Lightweight Champion defeated big time prospects like Marcio Andrade (Top 5 Brazilian Featherweight)
All-Around Lightweight, However #1 focus is boxing, Nasty hooks to the body, Strong job pressuring opponents against the opponent. Definitely has some pop in his hands but main way is breaking opponent down with several punch combinations.
Mixture of high leg kicks & low leg kicks each round. Looking forward to Felipe Douglas LFA debut.
Rangel De Sa – Shooto Brasil 166 pound champion, Explosive fighter depending on the opponent controls the pace, Waiting for right time to kill. Leading to several first round KO’s.
Fight against Ismael Bonfim showed his strong chin, Durability for three rounds when being the nail. Ability to fight back throwing jabs. Rangel De Sa has raw potential to be top 50 Featherweight in the world with right coaching and gym.

UFC Lightweights very LUCKY to not face the Chechen Warrior. RIGHT NOW can dominate top 15 Lightweights, Run for the Lightweight Title.
Raisov pound for pound contender for best prospect in the world. World Class Lightweight talent shown masterful performances against former UFC fighters Hacran Dias, Andre Winner. Defeated former WSOF Lightweight Title Challenger Luis Palomino.

Andrey Goncharov– Top 100 Featherweight, Riding high on six fight winning streak, Earning himself impressive 17-3 record.
Biggest win was his latest victory against Apti Bimazaraev. Belarus top prospect, Top Lightweight prospect in the world. Unexpected win as I thought Bimarzaev would dominate Goncharov. Proven wrong cracked the Belarus fighter in the first round!!
Strong physical fighter, Common Russian fighting style of pressuring, Fighting at hard pace. Ability to fight nonstop for three rounds either tho he carry’s muscle. He’s a stud and ready to put on show.
Problem in this fight might be the boxing, Being the nail, Fighting against faster fighter with faster pace who can be wild with shots. Potentially stronger than Goncharov.
All the hard work sparring with Alexander Shabily, Shamil Gasanov will make him ready for this moment.

Bibert Tumenov– Stood out to me in his incredible fight with Islam Omarov. Tumenov lost but fight was back and forth. Staying strong for three rounds.
Bounced back after that loss and defeated former UFC fighter Diego Brandao. Boost in confidence as he’s ready for war against Andrey Goncharov.
Bibert Tumenov has to keep this fight center of the ring, Away from the cage or he’ll get dominated with Goncharov wrestling. Russian Amateur Boxing Champion background can lead to early KO, Seek the right opening and go for the kill. Combinations straight to the body.
