His opponents def seem to be amateur level. But that is not new for guys entering the UFC.

Plenty young, and sambo champion is a nice thing to have on the resume. Has fought 8 times in 2011 already, winning all by stoppage. but again, weak comp.


Sherdog has him listed at 5'10, and 167 lbs. My first thought is, this guy needs to cut to 155.

Interesting to see how he does with the major step up in competition. Hopefully they take it slow and start him out easy.

You don't even know who he is. That is racist.

That is the major negative with many of these eastern euro's.

Good luck, pronouncing it, remembering it, spelling it.
