Kid (20 years old) is undefeated in 29 fights, only 3 decisions, all 29 fights in the last 3 years. Cannot see anything lined up fight wise but surely he must be on the radar of the UFC?

Signed to bellator I believe.
I saw that mate already I included his fight in the 29 gone undefeated sorry. Just amazed there hasnt been more chatter on this young fella

interesting... Nice gif...Has he got a ground game? Great TD defense? Or matchmaking with all strikers?
Dirty Harold - I saw that mate already I included his fight in the 29 gone undefeated sorry. Just amazed there hasnt been more chatter on this young fellaThere is a huge thread about him. Plenty of chatter. Iirc, last year his coach said he wouldn't be ready to fight outside of Brazil for like at least 3 more years. Then a couple months later he signed with Bellator.
By the way - WOCs is a great show. If you go to Rio make sure to go there - some incredible fights. This kid is off the chain.
Talking of amazing prospects this kid just got signed to the UFC
