Smealinho Rama? Yeah that guy is a beast, been on my HW prospect radar from a while now. He's still young, haven't written him off... Was impressed when he beat that legendary collegiate wrestler. Forgot his name.
H'es making the right moves. Hes got the character and personality to be a big star imo, and hes Finally moved to a top camp after that Ivanov loss, and Went down a division too. Very fun guy to be around. With all the work I witnessed Rama and others put in, it really opened my eyes in terms of what it takes to be a competetive fighter, and not even a successful one. I cant imagine what guys like Ivanov and other top guys go through.
No shame in losing to Hamilton, he was just a kid... Think he KO's him in a rematch, and Ivanov was a TOP Sambo guy. Beat Fedor in the world championships, came back to competition after being stabbed in the heart(was in a coma and lost a ton of weight) went on to win a title in a top 3 organization. Yeah Ivanov is a badass. Rama can and I believe WILL come again.

He gave it a good go at the last Rizin actually. Had a hard opening round, but came back strong. Really wouldn't be shocked if he upset Ishii.
I'm on the fence now with Rampage vs king Mo... don't know how the extra weight is going to help Rampage, if he doesn't get the KO early I see him gassing and king mo taking him down at will and pounding out an uneventful UD.
