Mikhail Odintsov Belarus First MMA Champion

Leave a comment

Mikhail Odintsov 28 year old 18-2 Lightweight is the top prospect from Belarus and one of the best Lightweight prospects from Eastern Europe won the RCC: Road to the PFL Tournament. Added to the PFL Lightweight stable, Looking to win the 1 million dollar prize in the next season of the Professional Fighters League.

Odintsov definitely capable of winning the PFL Lightweight Tournament because of his grappling prowess as in both RCC: Road to the PFL Tournament fights, Dominating his opponents with his wrestling.

Wrestling is the key to MMA, Can control the fight beginning to end. Kept on putting the pressure against some tough Russian/Eastern Europe Lightweight prospects.

Latest win was defeating Timur Nagibin, 15-4 record Top Ten Russian Lightweight prospect. Watched Mikhail’s hands speed throughout the rounds. Cardio wasn’t an issue as he’s a beast.

Mikhail Odintsov has the right talent but not the right gym… If I was manager I’d have him travel to top MMA Gyms like American Top Team, American Kickboxing Academy, Sanford MMA, Roufusport Academy, Tristar Gym, Renzo Gracie, Nick Catone MMA. Similar training philosophy like Khabib and Zabit.

Reason why is because he needs to work on his boxing, If he was fighting higher level Lightweights, He’d have some problems. Have above average striking and he can become a PFL Lightweight Champion. Belarus can be proud of one of their own.

2020 Natan Schulte Signs with UFC?

Leave a comment

Professional Fighters League cancelled there 2020 season. PFL Fighters unable to fight but Brett Okamato ask Dana White post UFC 250 about signing PFL Women’s Lightweight Champion Kayla Harrison.

Dana White says he’s interested in signing Kayla Harrison but doesn’t know if Kayla is ready for top competition. UFC might not sign Kayla Harrison but can sign PFL Lightweight Champion Natan Schulte.

Natan Schulte two time PFL Lightweight Champion is 28 years old, Multi millionaire trains at American Top Team. No doubt in my mind Natan Schulte can face top competition.

”I’ve proven throughout this season here at PFL that I deserve to fight among the best,” Schulte said. “To leave a promotion where I made a million dollars this year to fight for another promotion, it has to be fighting the best in another big promotion, UFC or Bellator. I really believe I can fight the top 5 of the UFC and Bellator, for sure.”

https://www.mmafighting.com/2019/1/4/18165724/natan-schulte-confident-best-lightweights-ufc-bellator-pfl-tournament-win

Stand out wins over Chris Wade, Rashid Magomedov and Jason High in his PFL career that can earn himself a UFC contract. Following the ways of Justin Gaethje, Marlon Moraes by signing with the UFC.

Schulte in his UFC debut can fight Lightweights like Gregor Gillespie, Beneil Dariush.

Hopefully Natan Schulte signs with UFC, Becomes the next success story from the Professional Fighters League.

Ray Cooper PFL Welterweight Title Challenger

Leave a comment

Ray Cooper the Third one of the best welterweights in the world is 2019 PFL Welterweight Tournament Champion. Ray Cooper looking to be the PFL 2020 Welterweight Tournament Champion but Rory MacDonald the biggest free agent signing of 2020 desiring the PFL Welterweight Title!!

“He’s an amazing fighter,” Cooper said. “I used to watch him when I was growing up, too, watching him fight all the top notch guys. It’s going to be an honor to fight against him. I would love to fight him early in the season or whatever. I want to show him what’s up.https://www.mmafighting.com/2020/1/12/21058679/ray-cooper-iii-wants-to-face-rory-macdonald-in-pfl-season-3-opener

Ray Cooper vs Rory MacDonald is a great fight, Hopefully it’s a three round fight that creates a lot of views for the Professional Fighters League.

“I think I match up great against him,” Cooper said. “He likes pressure, and I bring the pressure in all of my fights. I think can outwrestle him, too. He’s a little bit taller than me, but everybody is taller than me. I think it’s a good matchup.”

Win over Rory MacDonald will open the eyes of UFC & Bellator. Possible to win the PFL Welterweight Title, Wins over Jake Shields twice and Charles Bennett will help the confidence of Ray Cooper.

Lance Palmer vs Bubba Jenkins PFL Featherweight Final

Leave a comment

Lance Palmer #1 or #2 Best Featherweight out of the UFC. Accomplished EVERYTHING at WSOF/ PFL dominating basically everybody revenging his loss to rival Andre Harrison but I believe his toughest fight will come in the Featherweight Final when he fights Bubba Jenkins.

Who is Bubba Jenkins

Bubba Jenkins is the newest addition to the PFL 2020 roster and the PFL Featherweight division. Jenkins was a free agent after fighting for Brave Combat Federation and winning the Brave CF Featherweight Title. Defeating former Brave CF Featherweight Champion, Headlining Brave CF London Event.

Before fighting for Brave Combat Federation for Bellator but… Struggled against Georgi Karakhanyan losing twice to him but had a impressive win over Goiti Yamaguchi.

Even before Bellator was a Penn State Wrestling Commit. 2008 was All- American for Penn State. 149 pound runner up for the Big Ten Conference in 2009. 2011 Transferred to Arizona State University because he disliked Cael Sanderson style of coaching.

Success transferred to ASU as well. 2011 Bubba Jenkins would win the NCAA wrestling 157 pound Gold Medal by defeating Penn State’s David Taylor in the finals which is hilarious!!

During his time at Penn State wrestling Big Ten Schools had the chance to wrestle Lance Palmer and defeated him!!

Palmer vs Jenkins

Truly believe that Bubba Jenkins will head to the finals, Defeating Andre Harrison, Jason Soares in the process to the Featherweight final. Jenkins is just a decorated Division One All American Wrestler similar to Lance Palmer. Jenkins since fighting for Brave CF is more confident and found his stride.

Jenkins is hungry as hell to win that PFL 1 million dollar prize and fight one of the most dangerous Featherweights in the world known as Lance Palmer.

Lance Palmer I’m sure is excited for the challenge as well since he always dominates his opponents. Fighting against a D-1 Wrestler and accomplished probably drives him even more in training.

Palmer vs Jenkins be a dream come true. 5 Round Fight that goes split decision. I have no clue who wins but I know one thing it will be one of the most underrated on paper fights of the year!!

Natan Schulte #1 Lightweight Out of The UFC 2020

Leave a comment

Natan Schulte PFL TWO time Lightweight Tournament Champion is a multi millionaire. #1 Lightweight out of the UFC by defeating Rashid Magomedov, Chris Wade and other PFL Lightweights. 2020 PFL season will begin and Natan Schulte goal is to be a three time PFL Lightweight Champion!!

PFL Lightweight signings Olivier Aubin- Mercier, Johnny Case, Clay Collard. Favorite to win the PFL Lightweight Tournament is obviously Natan Schulte.

Enters the 2020 PFL season 20-3 record and will end the 2020 season 25-3.

”I’ve proven throughout this season here at PFL that I deserve to fight among the best,” Schulte said. “To leave a promotion where I made a million dollars this year to fight for another promotion, it has to be fighting the best in another big promotion, UFC or Bellator. I really believe I can fight the top 5 of the UFC and Bellator, for sure.”

https://mmacrazies.com/natan-schulte-confident-best-lightweights-ufc-bellator-pfl-tournament-win/

Earning a million dollars is what MMA Fighters dream of. Natan Schulte earning two million dollars, Addition to fight pay he’s living fighters dreams. Hard to leave PFL when your a multi- millionaire. I’m sure he thinks about leaving the PFL sometimes but the money needs to be right.

Justin Gaethje, Marlon Moraes, Blagoi Ivanov all came from the PFL and the next UFC signing is Natan Schulte.

Natan Schulte is the PFL Lightweight Champion and has the potential to defeat top 5 UFC Lightweights and become UFC Lightweight Champion. Similar career to Eddie Alvarez.

PFL Next Heavyweight Champion Ante Delija

Leave a comment

PFL 2020 Season has some new faces such as Rory MacDonald, Jordan Young, Marcin Held and Ante Delija. Whose Ante Delija?

Ante Delija Regional Career

Ante Delija is a Croatian Heavyweight 29 years old fighting for underrated MMA promotions such as KSW by defeating Oil Thompson, Lost to Marcin Tybura at M1, Defeated Valentin Overeem at Night of the Gladiators and Ricco Rodriguez.

Ante Delija was rising and rising as one of the top European Heavyweight Prospects, Defeating MMA veteran Heavyweight Oil Thompson really placed Ante Delija as one of the top Heavyweight Prospects.

In 2020 if he didn’t get signed by PFL would fight Phil De Fries for the KSW Heavyweight Title. Fighting on KSW Main Event in Poland.

Delija (16-3) enters the bout with wins in each of his last two outings. He handed Brazilian Ricardo Prasel the first defeat of his MMA career at Rizin FF 10 in May 2018 before signing with the PFL for their 2019 heavyweight season.

https://mmajunkie.usatoday.com/2019/10/ksw-51-ante-delija-denis-stojnic-heavyweight-face-off-zagreb

Ante Delija PFL

Sleeper signing of the PFL 2020 season is Ante Delija. Writers aren’t talking about Delija but I’m telling you right now he’s an absolute savage at six foot five and similar body type to Cain Velasquez.

Experience fighting for KSW and Rizin will help him out.

Congratulations for PFL to signing Ante Delija, Stealing Delija from UFC and Bellator.

PFL has a collection of talented Heavyweights such as Justin Willis, Mohammed Usman, Denis Goltsov, Jared Rosholt.

All the PFL Heavyweights fights for Ante Delija are extremely fascinating and I can’t wait to watch them.

Justin Willis the favorite to win the PFL Heavyweight Tournament Title but Ante Delija is the PFL Heavyweight underdog. He can win the PFL Heavyweight Title and take home the 1 million dollar prize.

Rory MacDonald vs Aung La Nsang 2020 ONE championship vs Professional Fighters League

Leave a comment

Rory MacDonald signed with the Professional Fighters League after becoming a free agent. Cross Promotions are now a trend with Bellator and Rizin. Rory is still one of the best Welterweights and fights for a top 4 MMA promotion. Aung La Nsang is a STAR for One Championship and lacks a serious challenger. PFL and One should cross promote and this should be a headline fight.

MacDonald vs Aung La Nsang be a magical moment for MMA. Two promotion collaborating together for a special event in Toronto or Singapore. Both sides benefit tremendously, Stack the card top to bottom and make it a PPV event.

Right marketing get millions of views all over the world. Promote on Ariel Helwani Show, Joe Rogan Podcast, ESPN, NBA on TNT Half Time Show, AEW wrestling.

Who wouldn’t love to see this fight? The spectacle of an event and a event will never forget.

Lance Palmer vs Eddie Alvarez 2020 ONE vs PFL

Leave a comment

PFL vs One Championship would be a dream of mine to happen with the new trend of Cross Promotions in MMA. Lance Palmer the PFL Featherweight Champion, Two time PFL Featherweight Tournament winner fighting Eddie Alvarez the underground king who fights for One Championship be a fantasy fight.

Palmer vs Alvarez 2020

Lance Palmer won the 2019 PFL Featherweight Title, Dominating his opponents. Top Featherweight not in the UFC would be no slouch for Eddie Alvarez. Alvarez hasn’t won the One Lightweight Title because of injury but will return soon looking to win the Lightweight Title by beating Christian Lee.

Better matchup, Better sell to the fans would be PFL Featherweight Champion Lance Palmer vs ONE Lightweight Champion Eddie Alvarez.

One Championship wants to expand their brand more to United States and North America. No better fight would be Eddie Alvarez vs Lance Palmer in Eddie Alvarez hometown in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Be a sell out crowd!!

Be a interesting fight to watch, Incredible moment for the sport of MMA, Professional fighters League and One Championship.
