You know whats a gift? Caio Machado +110. Szaflarski has no way to win unless Machado gasses after the first (which is very unlikely)

I've seen Machado fight. It seems like he's an overweight heavyweight w/ ok BJJ that beats on bums in the Canadian regional scene

It seems like BFL is equivalent to Titan FC in Canada while Unified MMA is the Canadian version of LFA. It would be better if Canada actually had good regional talent

Man im surprised they didn’t give machado bobby maximus while he was still in canada fighting for bfl bro. He fits the criteria of all his past opponents perfectly

This polish guy has the body of Martin Buday with the face of Romanov.

@sexy beefer yes. Szaflarski is another Martin buday; a massive heavyweight who does barely anything in the cage. Caio doesn’t know how to strike and gets hit so much. He’s also fought nobody younger than 35 and the guys he has fought are incredibly bad

I think Almeida has a good chance to win by KO also

Fernando is slow and has trouble with terrible opponents. His takedown and sub game is very weak. He’ll have to stand with Almeida in a kickboxing fight which won’t end well for him.

Most of the good heavyweights outside of the UFC are fat light heavyweights or jacked 230ers that have a hard time getting to 205

Yorgan de Castro is #2 on Tapology for U.S. heavyweights, so that is saying a lot

@sexy beefer sadly no lol. I mean there’s a couple, but even the best guys have a lot of flaws. Heavyweight is a mess
