I'm going to be a hater and say these are nobodies because I'm jealous I didn't take pictures with them

Cuamba pulled off a controversial upset against one of Canada's best fighters on DWCS. He's clearly a decent athlete.

Cuamba can crack too. But he fought just 6 days ago.....

That's an insane turnaround. I just hope the bout is competitive.
 
Cuamba is really good but he's a FW and will be outsized. I haven't seen much of Oki but he was impressive on the Contender Series. Should be a fun scrap.

It meant enough that Dana White just filmed an episode of Lookin' For a Fight to sign the guy you goof.

Yeah Mateo Vogel is from my hometown and he's a beast. I thought he deserved the decision on the Contender Series and he will be a solid addition to the division.

I will say, he was lucky to win his last decision. I thought Nguyen took it.

When I met Bolaji Oki at GLORY 90 last December, we hit a punching machine with some fighters and other combat sports figures.

I challenged Bahram Rajabzadeh (66-1, 58 KO/TKO), who won a 4-man heavyweight tournament last year to qualify for the prestigious GLORY 8-man Heavyweight Grand Prix which will take place on March 9.
It's save to say he fucked me up, lol.

Bolaji Oki hit the punching machine together with GLORY Lightweight champion Tyjani Beztati (25-5, 9 KO/TKO), who'll defend his title against former ONE Championship standout Enriko Kehl, also on March 9.

Here's Tyjani's turn:

Unfortunately I don't have footage of Bolaji Oki punching the machine, my friend @TacticalTijs must've been asleep at that moment, lol.

Believe me when I say “The Zulu Warrior” hits like a truck though! Oki punched way harder than Beztati, who isn’t pillow-fisted at all.
I don’t recall seeing a man of his size hitting that hard in front of me.

I look forward to Oki Bolaji’s UFC-debut this weekend, let it be a good one :cool:

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing, buddeh!

I remember watching the broadcast of the clip you posted of Cormier's. Forgot about the fighters he talked about though. Will definitely keep an eye out for his fight!

Does he speak Dutch, bud?

The 28 years old Belgian🇧🇪 Bolaji Oki (8-1, 5 KO/TKO, 1 sub.) is set to make his UFC-debut against Timothy Cuamba this weekend.
I met ”The Zulu Warrior” at GLORY 90 in Rotterdam, last December:

About 5 months ago, Oki punched his way into the UFC by finishing Dylan Salvador on Dana White’s Contender Series.
His French opponent was an experienced Kickboxer who holds victories over the likes of Sitthichai Sitsongpeenong and Giga Chikadze, and also shared the ring with MuayThai legend Buakaw Banchamek.
However, Bolaji Oki beat him at his own game, finishing Salvador in the first round with a vicious rain of bodyshots and punches to the head:




DC did a nice breakdown of Oki’s finish:






After winning the UFC-contract, Bolaji Oki returned to Europe to train at Rico Verhoeven's gym, where the GLORY Heavyweight champion congratulated him and briefly talked about his impressive performance during DWCS (swipe for training footage):




I think it’s fair to say Oki Bolaji got some high-level training partners:

Bolaji Oki will be the fourth ever fighter from Belgium to compete in the UFC.
Two years ago he was set to compete for the Dutch-based Levels Fight League (LFL) Lightweight-title, but unfortunately that fight fell through.
Now he's in the UFC though, so all of that doesn't matter anymore!


Oki was originally scheduled to debut against Damir Hadžović this weekend, but the latter was forced to withdraw from the fight earlier this week.
The 24 years old Timothy Cuamba (8-1, 4 KO/TKO) has stepped in on four days notice to take on Bolaji Oki.
Two winners from last season's DWCS square off in their UFC-debuts ("Twilight" didn't earn a contract at first). Cuamba fought just 4 days ago at Tuff-N-Uff 135 and scored a 2nd round KO.

A fight between two exciting prospects!

this fight will end in a TKO/KO ....whoever wins it. Oki seems like a KO specialist and.....Cuamba has a few KOs too.
Still....bottom line is Cuamba is a 145lb fighter who is taking on a legit 155lb fighter as there's only a few daysx notice so he is basically obliged to fight a weight-class up from where he normally fights.

Have to go with Oki on this one, by 1st or 2nd rd violence. He impressed Dana White on DWCS and I am sure he'll want to keep the hellacious KOs going...
