Raposo contender series fight is against Cage Warriors Flyweight Champion Jake Hadley. Easily will be toughest test for Raposo. See if he has what it takes to defeat Hadley as he moves down to flyweight.

Rewarded a UFC contract must win in dramatic fashion to impress the Boss of all bosses Dana White.

“It’s going to be a great fight but I’m too fast, and he’s never fought a wrestler or grappler like me. Everyone he’s fought are primarily strikers or just pretty good everywhere. I feel like I can compete with the best guys everywhere and that’s hard to deal with. We will see how it plays out, but this fight is going to be a banger. I promise you that.” Mitch Raposo interview with the Scrap.Co https://www.thescrap.co/top-of-the-class-mitch-raposo-is-primed-to-bring-a-title-to-new-england/

Raposo is only 22-years-old and he’s already so well rounded. Just imagine what the next few years will look like. Sct

Next fight is against Frenchman Abou Tounkara 7-1 record trains with Salahdine Parnasse, Fabacary Diatta, Cage Warriors prospect William Gomis at Atch Academy.

Watch out for Ilunga in 2021 and 2022.

MMA Fighters UFC Needs to Sign 2021

MMA fans disrespect Non UFC Fighters because they don’t fight for UFC, Not beating world class fighters every time they fight. I understand why but there’s fighters in Major promotions from Bellator, One Championship, PFL, Rizin, KSW, Combate Americas, ACA, Brave CF who can defeat top ten UFC fighters right now!! Who are they? I made a wish list of fighters UFC needs to sign in 2021.

“Respects to KSW,” Jedrzejczyk said. “To be honest, they taught a Polish fan to watch MMA, so they have a great respect and gratitude from me.”

“UFC matchmakers and Dana White track these events, because they want to catch some talents and bring them to UFC.

“There are plenty of great fighters in KSW. In example, Mateusz Gamrot, great polish talent, who is currently training with me in American Top Team.”

Joanna Jedrzejczyk endorsing Mateusz Gamrot to sign with the UFC says a lot about his talents and being fully capable to compete against the best Lightweights and Featherweights in the world.

In the prime of his career at 29 years old 15-0 record, KSW former Featherweight and KSW Lightweight Champion be a sin to the MMA world if he doesn’t get signed by the UFC before it’s too late.

2020 the year for Mateusz Gamrot to sign with UFC.

Rafa Garcia is one of the top Lightweight Prospects in the world. Since I started blogging a year ago I’ve been consistently writing about Rafa Garcia. Calling him the Mexican Eddie Alvarez because he’s a pitbull.

UFC signs Rafa Garcia this will be one of the biggest UFC free agent signings of 2020.

Bubba Jenkins PFL to UFC 2020

PFL 2020 season is cancelled, PFL fighters unable to fight but need to provide for there families. UFC is up and running,

Specific fighters from the PFL who are truly capable of competing with UFC fighters. One of the PFL fighters is Bubba Jenkins.

Bubba Jenkins Brave CF Featherweight Champion, All American Wrestler at Arizona State and Penn State, Former Bellator fighter. Looking better than ever now in a three fight winning streak.

Continue to look at his best by signing with the UFC and fighting the top 20-25 UFC Featherweights.

2020 Natan Schulte Signs with UFC?

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.”

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.
