    Looks decent but he has been fighting in Ireland, not sure what the talent is like over there.

    Oh, well. I tried to embed it, Rob. Couldn't get it to work.

    Cheers Rob. I saw him the other week - was it you who posted him on here? Was that fight where the ref barged him out the way at the end. Hope he literally does well in the UFC

    Someone else (eggboxer) posted about him originally, and then shortly after he was signed by the UFC. After seeing that thread he became one of my favorite prospects.

    What about the 19-0 Russian kid, that I admittedly know nothing about?

    Khabib Nurmagomedov? He's on a great run with wins over UFC vets Thiago Tavares and Gleison Tibau. He's probably only two or so wins away from a title shot, really. Fighting Abel Trujillo next, who looked like a beast in his last fight, but probably won't have much for Khabib. He can look a bit sloppy at times, but if he tightens up his game, which it looks like he has a bit, he'll cause problems for most guys. If he beats Abel, I would like to see him take on the winner of Grant/Maynard which is on the same card.

    He's just one of many great prospects coming out of Russia. Bellator has a fair few of them.

    April 6 in Sweden.

    Rob, you see McGregor on the mma hour? Ariel said he was one of his best ever guests, he seemed a good lad to me.

    Yeah, I watched it after hearing how good it was. Definitely a charismatic character.

    As is Marcus Brimage. Shame the fight is on Facebook.

    Agreed on both counts. Impressed with Brimage against Hettes, and he didn't look all that on TUF, but he looks better each time out.
