Cage Warriors 183 Prospects
Liam Gittins Cage Warriors Bantamweight Champion will have his third title fight against Italian’s favorite Alessandro Giordano. Gittins headlining his third Cage Warriors event that’s well deserved as he’s top 5 Cage Warriors talent right now.

He had standout wins against Roberto Hernandez and Reece McEwan, to name a few. He is confident that at Cage Warriors 183 he’ll get his hand raised.
Pressure is on Gittins’ side as he fights in front of Giordano’s hometown crowd of Rome. However, Gittins is ready for the challenge. His confidence is at an all-time high. He trains at UK’s #1 gym Next Generation MMA Liverpool. There, he trains with UFC next star Paddy Pimblett and Molly McCann. He trains with hot prospects like Luke Riley and Nathan Fletcher, to name a few. Can only imagine with Pimblett’s star power that he’ll become UFC signee in no time with successful title defense.
Oktagon 68
Oktagon 68 Prospect to Watch is Lazar Todev fighting for Oktagon Heavyweight Title. Todev is a former kickboxer turned MMA fighter. He has been on the rise since he started fighting for the Oktagon promotion. One fight away from showing his Hybrid skills to the world.
Lazar Todev facing his biggest name to date Will Fleury former Bellator competitor & SBG Ireland. Respectable win by using his Enflusion level kickboxing & explosive athletic frame Todev will be the NEW Oktagon Heavyweight Champion.

LFA 203
LFA 203 Prospect to Watch #1 is Uran Satybaldiev, the LFA Light Heavyweight Champion. He is one of the best Light Heavyweight prospects in the world right now. His wins, skills, and status as champion for the best feeder league in the world contribute to this distinction.
Caucasus region fighters are extremely talented. They come in swarms from Dagestan, Kazakhstan, Georgia, and Kyrgyzstan. Uran is definitely following suit as he’s a National Sambo Champion. Besides Sambo growing as MMA fighter Tiger Muay Thai(Thailand) with bunch of assassins. The oldest saying goes “Iron sharpens Iron.”
- Bio-28 years old 7-1 record LFA Light Heavyweight Champion
- Skills-Strong sambo abilities, perfectly using his long lean frame to attack opponents,Ability to withstand punishments
- Improve- Kickboxing game basic but effective, striking defense, timing for takedowns
- Winning Sambo Championships
Uran will have 1x or 2x more title defenses. He will fight on Dana White Contender Series or a UFC prelim fight when Shelby needs a replacement. Honestly, Uran needs to enhance his striking game. In the UFC, he will have a short-term career. However, by training at Tiger Muay Thai and traveling to different gyms, his striking will gradually improve. Looking forward to his next LFA fight!!
Beatriz Mesquita is the #2 Prospect to Watch. She is the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu GOAT, winning 24 Black Belt Level Championships in world championships. She accomplished everything in the BJJ Competing scene. Now it’s time to transition to the MMA world and achieve MMA Championships.
- 3-0 record 33 years old
- 24 BJJ Championships
- Trains at American Top Team
“I didn’t feel pressured in my journey,” Mesquita explained. “I like the challenges and I love to win and this is what drove me to succeed all the way to the Black Belt. I believe the more you dedicate the better results you will have… and the bumps in the road will just make you stronger and better. That’s how I drilled my brilliant career in Jiu-Jitsu, naturally trying to be better and improve my skills daily to be the best of me each tournament. I believe that when you do what you love, success is a consequence.” https://www.lfa.com/bia-mesquita-the-bjj-lady-goat-looks-to-dominate-mma/
She smartly chose MMA GYM EMPIRE – American Top Team. It is the home of world champions across all promotions. She selected it to build her skills. Right away, she found success fighting for the premier promotion Legacy Fighting Alliance. She took advantage of her world-class grappling to submit opponents easily.
She needs to improve her striking to become average or above average. She also needs to become a very good wrestler to really accelerate becoming UFC Woman’s Bantamweight Champion. If she succeeds in those areas Beatriz will be forced to be reckoned with. Maybe this upcoming LFA 203 fight examine an all-around skilled victory.
