SF's HW prospects.

sf is doing a pretty good job of matching up the top of the division(though even that is open for debate) with AA vs Bigfoot, Overeem vs grim and Fedor vs Werdum, but what is with the complete cans they are feeding Johnson, Abongo, Cormier, and Gracie(to a lesser extent I guess)? Most of their opponents, aside from being unknown, are coming off long stretches of inactivity. I hope this is all just part of the initial stage and soon they will start pairing off. They are building a pretty interestin HW roster, though alot of the matchups are not interesting.

well I might need to take some of that back, further research shows that sf has both Abongo and Gracie listed as 205ers. so for those looking for possible gegard opponent's(and maybe a guy like Werdum who is a not so big heavy).

Roger and Abongo are LHW's. Smart move by them. I think Abongo can be a very strong LHW, same with Roger. Abongo looked really good against Rogers but was just too damn small.

Their best prospects at the class are Lashley and Cormier when they have such a strong wrestling base, great size and talent to be big players in that weight class. del Rosario maybe, but he was really getting the shit kicked out of him by that Brandon Cash character before he pulled an omoplata out his ass, and del Rosario isnt even known for a ground game so it's hard to say with him. I'd need to see him fight somebody like Lashley and Cormier....or Lavar.

They are doing Okay with the HW's. I would like to see Werdum vs Grim and Fedor fighting Reem. Del Rasario is gonna be the future guy imo. I think his all around game is good. One more win and he will be fighting one of the top 5 guys. He has had enough of the Challenger fights imo. They still need a few more big names to go along with the unknowns. SF hasn't been around long enough and they have done well getting fighters so far. Barnett needs to get there and that would help alot. As long as he is clean of course.

Cormier should be at 205. He is way too small for heavyweight. The guy isnt even 6'0 tall. Weight issues have haunted him his entire wrestling career.

was thinking the same, under 6' and a not so trim 235, dude should cut.

Dave Herman went to Bellator right?

Jobbers have more use at HW. Ask Neal Wain, Justin McCully, and Mustapha Al Turk. Lavar Johnson deserves a gimmie fight at this point anyway.

I keep forgetting about Herman. SF should have went after him for sure.

how this guy is still not in a major org is beyond me.
