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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
