[Liverlips]

Conor McGregor, a 23-year-old from Ireland, won the Cage Warriors lightweight belt today. He already holds the featherweight strap so that makes him a rare 2-division champ.

He is 12-2 and I would imagine we will see him in the UFC soon as they are trying to grow in Europe.

 

[Hawkeye2]

Andrew Todhunter age 25 6'0 185 rec 5-0 pro and 7-0 am nine first round subs. Todhunter hails from Oklahoma and has been doing MMA for only about 3 years.
http://youtu.be/NUpB71ddy_k
Rick Glenn- age 23 6'0 145 rec 10-2 pro and 4-1 am. Glenn hails from Wisconsin and trains at Roufus sport he has a very good standup game and is still very young. I had him as a prospect a few years ago, but took him of because of an early carrer loss.

[Hawkeye2]

Mirsad Bektic- age 21 5'7 155 rec 5-0 pro and 9-0 am.

 

[Hawkeye2]

Todd Schmauss age age 32 205 6'0 2-0 pro 1-0 am. Schmauss is a little bit older than most of my prospects, but he was a gifted amateur wrestler, until he got injured at Iowa in his junior year. Schmauss then went on to become a personal trainer, nd now he is doing mma. Schmauss destroy a very talented prospect Jesse Lund in only his third fight, so I think if he continues down thi path he could end up being in Bellator or UFC by the end of the year.

Jake Butler 0-0 age 27 6'1 205. Butler was an All-American wrestler from Princeton, he had an economics degree and could have gotten a job anywhere.

[Hawkeye2]

Former Edinboro All-American Chris Honeycutt won his MMA debut defeating Jessy Torres(1-1) by sub round 1.
http://youtu.be/Tg2pjdL5lIo

 

[Liverlips]

Jared Rosholt won tonight over a huge, undefeated black fighter. He showed better standup and stamina and at least went for a few subs. But he is still basically a very good wrestler who takes people down at will. The rear naked was there all night but he never really went for it.

That wrestling of his is top notch but unless he really improves his subs and standup he will be like a fish out of water if he cannot get his opponent down.

Next up is a rematch with undefeated Negro Derrick Lewis, whom Rosholt was tooling until the ref stood them up and Lewis landed a lucky shot. He should win the rematch but still would like to see Jared go to a top camp like AKA or even Jackson,s MMA to learn the game.

 

[Hawkeye2]

Jake Butler won his MMA debut koing Anonio Romulo by KO in round 1.

 

[DixieDestroyer]

Good wins at Bellator 88 for Alexander Shlemenko (KO, R2) and Frodo Khasbulaev (sub, R2).

[Hawkeye2]

Another football player I forgot to mention was former Hawaii WR and CFL all-purpose guy Chad Owens. I don't think he's white and he is only 5'8 170, but he makes his MMA debut April 6. I do like seeing guy who get passed over by then NFL excelling in MMA.

 

[Liverlips]

Light heavyweight Mike Mucitelli goes 5-0 with an armbar sub. tonight in Bellator

 

[Hawkeye2]

23 year old Jeremy Kimball just defeated Chidi Njokuani(9-4) by second round sub to improve to 9-3 as a pro. Chidi in the brother of Anthony Njokuani, and much like his brother he has no ground game, but that doesn't stop DWF from thinking the UFC should sign him. The last fight he was in he faced a guy who was obviously hand picked for him.
Kimball on the other hand came into this sport with littler knowledge of MMA, unlike Njokuani, whose family got him in this. Kimball lost his first 2 fights, but has gone 9-1 since then, defeating wrestlers and UFC vets Drew McFederies and Tom Spheer and now he has defeated Kickboxer Chidi Njokuana. Kimball shows his well-roundedness and has a bright future in this sport.

 

[Hawkeye2]

At the World Series of Fighting today, Justin Gaethje just defeated Gesias Cavalcante (17-7) by tko Doctor Stoppage in the first. Gaethje busted him open minute in into the fight. Calalcante is a strikforce vet and a very talented fighter. Also 23 year old Rick Glenn scored of come from behind ko of Anexandre Pimental(12-1) in round 3.
