[Hawkeye2]

New adds
Cody Yohn age 25 5'10 170 record 1-0. Cody is the brother of Sonny Yohn. Cody was also an All-American from Minnesota. He lost the national champ match against one of the best ever in David Taylor. Yohn dominated a very tough opponent in his MMA debut.
http://youtu.be/Rx19Mej_BEk
Blake Watkins- age 28 6'2 185 rec 5-0 pro all first round wins.
http://youtu.be/W-pG8pCk4cU
Dustin Parrish- age 22 5'11 185 rec 3-0 pro 10-1 am. Parrish has a strong wrestling base and is still very young.
http://youtu.be/3kVmWv-Moco
Jason Sampson- age 33 5'8 135 rec 12-1. Not really a prospect, because of his age, but he should have been signed by the UFC years ago.
http://youtu.be/q8tF8BkRMio
Here are two dark horses that have potential, but are still very raw.
Davis Burrow age 23 5'10 155 rec 13-5 pro and 8-2 am. Burrow has a lot of potential, but needs to improve his striking. He pulled off a huge upset this year when he subed former UFC fighter Anthony Njokuani in the second round.
http://youtu.be/31yHsJ7gfD8
Wade Johnson age 24 6'2 155 rec 8-1 pro 6-1 am.
Johnson is one of the top prospects from Arkansas. Good striking, submissions, and conditioning. Johnson has defeated some pretty good fighters, but I think if he is going to improve he has to find a better camp.
http://youtu.be/2MkQvBzpcPY

 

[Hawkeye2]

New adds
Benjamin Smith age 34 5'11 170 rec 14-2. Another guy who is too old to be considered a prospect, but he should have been signed by some big organization by now. He recently dominated Tat Romero (24-6).
http://youtu.be/3zSuQOsEFQ8
Bobby Moffett- age 24 5'10 145 rec 7-1. Outstanding grappler, his one loss was to Kenny Jordan.
http://youtu.be/CozP7ahIv2Q
Ricky Steele age 26 5'11 135. Rec 3-0 pro and 2-0 am. I don't know much about him, but from the videos I saw of him, he looks like a good striker.
http://youtu.be/eG3GW32Lz5g

 

[Hawkeye2]

Austin Springer improves to 8-0 as a pro by defeating Ryan Mulvihill (13-4) by first round ko. Springer is expected to be signed by UFC soon.
http://youtu.be/6FT8oCamHTc

 

[Hawkeye2]

New add
Preston Parsons- age 19 5'11 155 rec 1-0 pro and 5-0. Parsons is the top MMA prospect from Florida, he is a highly ranked grappler for someone so young and has good cardio and striking.
http://youtu.be/-d6FKasyxfY

 

[Hawkeye2]

Cody East improves to 10-1 koing Brice Ritani-coe by sencond round ko. East has won his last 7 fights.

 

[Hawkeye2]

all wins by first round submission or ko.
Holder just koed UFC vet Thiago Silva (16-4) and needed just 2 mins to do it at World Series of Fighting. Prior to today he hadn't fought in 2 years and was working as a teacher. Holder also had a victory over Bellator vet Chris Davis. He has good takedowns and is an excellent striker.
Here is the video of his TKO over Silva.

Also last week had two more impressive wins.

http://youtu.be/-LHXr-JVmGc
Craig Fruth improves his record to 4-0 as a pro as he defeats Rmandel Cameron 4-1 by UD.
http://youtu.be/GzEEUOQBCho
New add
Joseph Gigliotti age 21 5'11 185 rec 5-0 pro 3-0. Gigloitti looked impressive at WSOF as he defeated vet Brendan Tierney by UD. Gigloitti is raw but still very young.
http://youtu.be/sLNgIuK3bhE

 

[Hawkeye2]

Another new add
Cameron Olsen-age 25 6'1 205 rec 2-0 pro and 5-0 am. Olsen was a former all-state wrestler in Iowa. He reminds me a lot of Pat Cummins, he is currently training at Roufussport with Duke Roufus, to improve his striking. I think with time he could develope into a very well rounded fighter.
http://youtu.be/q8HMVQMT4TM
Sean McMurray-age 23 5'10 155 rec 3-0 pro and 3-0 am. McMurray was heavily recruited out of high school, and was expected to have a promising career. Dispire being an NCAA tournament qualifier after his freshman year, he left Michigan State. He is now training with UFC vet Darren Elkins on an MMA career.
http://youtu.be/OZFPmPwo30I

 

[Hawkeye2]

[Hawkeye2]

New add
Brad Darrington age 25 5'10 170 record 2-0 pro and 5-0 pro. Darrington one of the best wrestlers to come out of Utah Valley College, he had defeated quite a few top 25 guys. I don't know why he didn't stay for his senior year, but he could have been an All-American.
http://youtu.be/8HYMGza4vuM

 

[Hawkeye2]

Ian Heinisch- age 26 5'10 185 rec 2-0 pro and 4-0 am. Heinisch was a four time Colorado high school wrestling champ and was a girfted greco and freestyle wrestler. He is very good with his Mauy Thai.
http://youtu.be/XkT6nxE2EjY

 

[Hawkeye2]

New add
Sidney Wheeler- age 18 5'10 185 rec 1-0. Wheeler won his pro debut by UD. However he is an interesting MMA prospect. He was a high school wrestling state champ in Georgia, and he has won quite a few kickboxing and boxing tournaments. I think with the right camp he could have a great career in MMA.

[Hawkeye2]

New add
Jason Knight age 22 6'1 155 rec 10-1 pro and 6-0. He is the top prospect from the state of Mississippi. He is still young so he has time to develope. He is well rounded for his age, but I would like to see him step up his competition and also he needs a better camp.

http://youtu.be/YEH7x5VNgmk

 

[Hawkeye2]

New adds
Grant Dawson age 21 5'6 155 rec 5-0 pro and 8-1 am. Dawson is the top prospect out of Nebraska. Very good ground game, and all of his wins have come by submission. He only 21 so I expect him to improve greatly.

http://youtu.be/vaWShQvUKmA
Dominic Mazzotta- age 27 5'7 145 rec 7-1 pro 7-1 am
Mazzotta was a gifted college wrestler, and has very good MMA wrestling and cardio. His only pro loss was to current UFC fighter Cody Garbrandt. He does need to work on his striking, and sometimes he is to dependant on his wrestling.

Jay Speight- age 21 6'2 170 rec 2-0 pro 12-2. Speight has been training BJJ since he was like ten, and he has alway been very good at it. I'd like to see him improve his striking and he has plenty of time to do that.
http://youtu.be/V9VonaMDDyk

 

[Hawkeye2]

Tony Sims who was on my prospect list last year won his UFC debut koing Steve Montgomery in the first round. I don't why I didn't put him on this years list, I must have just forgot him. Either way here is his stats.
