UFC Ready Prospects That Fought Last Week (Patreon)

Welterweight, Alibeg Rasulov (13-0): Rasulov should walk right into the UFC after beating Cezary Oleksiejczuk who I'm high on. Not only did he beat Oleksiejczuk but he dominated him all three rounds. He controlled the fight on the mat using his wrestling. He had to fight through a few submissions but his top control was too much. It wasn't an exciting fight but both guys are UFC level and this win should push Rasulov towards that.

Middleweight, Virgil Augen (6-0): The UFC badly needs more middleweights and Augen has looked exceptional. He's coming off a one-sided win over Contender Series alum, Henrique Shiguemoto. Augen lacks in height but he's so strong and his wrestling and pressure is a compliment to all that. In this fight, he showed a little more of his striking as it's looking better and better. He won the Ares FC performance of the night bonus which is a testament to how good he looked. It wouldn't hurt for him to get another win or two first but he could compete in the UFC now.

Flyweight, Jung Hyun Lee (9-1): Lee fought on the past season of Road to UFC and came up short to Mark Climaco. We've seen others that lost on the RTU and still get signed to the UFC and Lee should've been one of them. To prove that he just won by knockout by kicking a poor guy in his head. The kid is only 21 and already so good. He probably won't get signed to the UFC but probably get another shot at RTU next season.

Bantamweight, Phumi Nkuta (7-0): I've heard the UFC isn't interested in Nkuta but hopefully that's changed in the last few months. It makes no sense because Nkuta is a top prospect. He's a top prospect at flyweight but he took this fight at bantamweight. He beat a quality opponent and looked very good at bantamweight. Nkuta would do a lot of damage in the UFC so hopefully, the UFC actually wants a good fighter like himself.

Strawweight, Alexia Thainara (10-1): The UFC has to be calling up Thainara soon because not many out there with the streak she has. Thainara won the vacant SFT strawweight title over the weekend. Strawweight is a pretty stacked division outside the UFC and Thainara is probably the most underrated female in the group. She I believe would be top 15 so the UFC needs to get the ball rolling.

Bantamweight, Roberto Hernandez (9-1): Hernandez could punch his ticket to the UFC by beating a former UFC guy in Trevin Jones. I wasn't too interested in Hernandez at a time but he's grown on me a lot. He's a smart fighter that's good everywhere and somebody that has very good defense. He outstruck Jones and mixed in a few takedowns. He's another one who doesn't have a very exciting style but will go far off his fundamentals and IQ.
