Stipe Miocic won his fight against Bobby Brents(9-2) to improve his recond to 6-0 all by ko or submission due to strikes. Miocic also has a 6-0 amatuer record. Also over the weekend Jared Rosholt won his fourth fight. Rumor has it Bellator win sign him when it returns in September.
2011 mma prospects
- Thread starter hawkeye
- Start date
UFC just signed Miocic. Stipe Miocic is also a very talented athlete, along with a great MMA record, he is also atCleveland State was a baseball player, anda national wrestler, and he was a golden gloves boxer. He was drafted by a major league team, but didn't make the cut.
Robert Drysdale won again with a first round submission to UFC vet Mike Nickels.
Jim Hettes will be making his return next week. Hettes is only 24 5'9 145 and has a record of 7-0 along with extensive BJJ career. The reason I didn't put him on the list earlier is because he has been around for a while, I don't know why UFC hasn't signed him yet.
Two other prospects are from the state of Wisconsin They are Andrew Trace and Klay Konrad.
Andrew Trace is only 23 he is 6'1 170 and holds a record of 3-0 pro and 9-0 amateur. Most of his fights have been stopped after the first round.
Klay Konrad is another interesting one, he is the older brother of Cole Konrad, but you wouldn't know that by the way they look. Klay is a former Army Ranger, he is 29 5'9 145 and holds a record of 2-0 pro. very good wrestler and very good cardio.

Tyler East def Nick Gaston by TKO in the second round. Gaston you may know from the bullybeatdown was considered one of the top prospects according to DWF. East is 6'5 250 and only 20 he improves to 9-3 and remains king of the cage heavyweight champ. Gaston was suppose to fight Todd Duffee after this fight but that might be in jeopardy now.
Great news about East. I saw him once last year and he lost via triangle. But looks like he has learned from that loss.
He was a high school wrestling champ in Arizona (or maybe it was New Mexico). But the guy seems to get most of his wins via KO.
Why did East not get a wrestling scholarship?

Jackson-Winklejon's camp is the top in MMA right now. Seems like AKA San Jose, American Top Team in Coconut Creek are top camps too. What other camps would you rank amongst the best?

Alotta good MMA intel Hawkeye...thanks!
Over the weekend Kurt Holobaugh and Dustin Jacoby won. Holobaugh is now 2-0 as a pro and Jacoby is now 5-0 as a pro. Today Jake Rosholt defeated Matt Horwhich to avenge a previous loss. Rosholt is now 12-3-1, his no contest should have been a win because he was dominating that fight.
The other think is the new season of the ultimate fighter. This season will be figthers at 145 and 135. I have three very good fighters i'd like to see on the show. Jared Downing is somebody I've already mentioned in this thread. 5'5 135 and is now 6-0, he dominated a very talented Ran Weathers last month.
Chris Bennett is 20 years old and is already well known on the BJJ circuit. He is 5'11 145 and is a submission machine, his record stands at 5-2 pro and 10-1 am of his wins 14 have come by sub and one by ko. I think TUF would be prefect for him in improving his all-round game.
Chris Holdsworth is 23 5'10 135 he is also well known on the BJJ circuit, and his record is currently 3-0 pro and 7-0 am, no one has gone past round one against him.

Al Iaguinta is 24 5'7 155 he currently trains at Serra-Longa alongside Chris Weidman. His record is 12-0 am and 5-0-1 pro. He hasn't fought anyone on the level that Tim Williams and Myles Jury have fought, but other sites have ranked him pretty high. I think because he has a very ethnic name some bigger promotions will give him a look.
op2:Here are some veteran guys who aren't really prospects, but haven't been given the oppotunity to showcase their talant at the highest level.

He is set to fight Rafeal Natal(12-2).
Lance Benoist is a fighter I've been raveing about. He is 22 years old 5'11 and 170, He hold a record of 5-0 pro 6-0 am. all his victories, but one have come by first round stoppage. He is set to face Matt Riddle. Riddle is 5-2 all his pro fights have been at UFC.

Alex Huddleston won his pro debut by UD against a very talented Daniel Gallemore 9-1 as an amateur. I actually thougth the fight should have been stop in the first round but the ref let it go. I had Huddleston won all three rounds. The guys at Titan FC where very high on Huddleston and even called him an internet sensation, yet the only mention of him was from me. So kudos to Castefootball for making an internet sensation.
Also Dakota Cochrane defeats George Sheppard(12-6)to improve his record to 9-1 and retain the Cage INC. lightweight title. The other prospect that I found over the weekend is Brylan VanArtsdalen. Vanartdalen defeated Strikefore and WEC vet Anthony Leone in the first round by guilotine, he currently is 6-1 pro and 5-0 am he is 26 and is a former marine and wrestler. I wish him the best of luck and expect to hear great things from him.
