Top 10 Stand-outs from Dana White Contender Series 2019

OK, So I watched all of the Contender Series and I graded every single fighter. You’re Welcome. Well… It was actually fun. Anyway these are based on their show performance, and its not an overall rating of the fighter.

  1. Andre Muniz …… 5/5
  2. Impa Kasanganay 5/5
  3. Hunter Azure ……5/5
  4. Ode Osbourne …… 5/5
  5. Brendan Allen …..5/5
  6. Justin Gonzales …… 4.5/5
  7. Omar Morales …… 4.5/5
  8. Tony Gravely ……4.5/5
  9. Miguel Baeza …… 4/5
  10. Antonio Arroyo …… 4/5

So these are my terrific 10. I have a few more guys with 4/5 stars on my list but I feel like these 2 just edged all of them. I had Antonio Trocoli on my list, but he tested positive for a PED.

Two guys on my list did not get contracts. Impa Kasanganay and Justin Gonzales did not get contracts, I did not keep them off the list, because they performed very well. read more

Contender Series Grades Week 3 and 4

ALL CONTENDER SERIES 2019 GRADES

So Contender series really has improved. I was excited to see Armando Villarreal, but he got beat by a very hot prospect in Ode Osbourne. I have to make a pick between my Jamaican roots, and my Texas sensibilities. Villarreal has the bad habit of putting himself in bad situations, and when you fight people at the highest level, they take advantage of that.

So again, Here are grades of some of the talent on the show. These grades are only based on their Contender Series performance, and not their performance before in other organizations read more

LFA 59

The LFA rolled into The Comerica Theatre in Phoenix, Arizona for this one.

Main Event

David Michaud vs Christian Aguilera – Welterweight.

Round 1

Aguilera starts off looking to wrestle, as both guys look even on the feet. Michaud is able to drop Aguilera with a right, then he swarms him. Aguilera is defending himself, he gets put into a mounted Crucifix and the referee stops the fight.🚩 Michaud wins by TKO

This was a very early stoppage. Maybe the ref thinks that the fight is over when someone gets put into a mounted crucifix. I know Aguilera was intelligently defending himself, because he brought his feet up to the cage to push off and reverse the position, its just a shame that the referee wanted to be the star in this fight. read more
