Why? For a potential appearance on Fight Island in January? Dude's a 5-2 welterweight with a recent loss to a UFC newcomer. I saw his last fight at ADW and he scorched some .500 fighter in 90 seconds, like he should have. Just seems a little odd.

Yeah, Angel's Fighting Championship in Korea. UFC signed some other cat from there recently I thought, but I can't remember who.

Exactly. I was like “I hope she’s hot!!!” Haha. The non-comprehension lasted about 10 seconds while I was thinking “why would they show a picture of her coach?”

True Chinese Sasha.

Let’s see if he’s allowed to take the flag into the Octagon....

 

[Grapplefest]

Russian guy from Hong Kong will be the next big Chinese fighter!

Yeah same here. He's a ginger guy named Sasha repping Hong Kong. Pretty out there lol

Next thing you know a Siberian Gangster, Petr Yan takes over UFC.

Wait, what ?

 

[Leonard Haid]

I hear they also signed a Japanese fighter named Jesus Martinez.

 

[12ga.]

I've always liked that name. Sasha - you better be a fighter with it though.
