Known Matchups

Middleweight

Will Currie (12-3) vs Djorden Santos (9-1)

Flyweight
Lon'er Kavanaugh(6-0) vs An Tuan Ho (6-0)
Mitch Raposo (9-1) vs Jack Duffy (7-0)

Total:
22/100 fighters
3/50 fights

Was hoping for more ex-Bellator & ex-ONE fighters but looking good.
According to https://mmaintel.blog/dana-whites-contender-series-2024/ Fatima Kline is gonna be there.
 
There are rumors that Parnasse is not going with KSW any longer. His contract has ended with recent fight and seems like he will not choose to fight there any longer. I hope he will go with UFC. But PFL and One are other options.
I assume it's gonna be PFL
 

Women's Flyweight

Yuneisy Duben (5-0)
What a strange signing. Her last fight was a gimmie from FFC in a late replacement.

I'm sure some of the folks at the UFC PI in Mexico City will be signed for it as well.

Literally zero ex-Bellator fighters. There has to be some contract issues or something.

I definitely mustn't forget Salohidinov. The others didn't really impress me in the sense that maybe they are better fighters at this moment, but these guys have a higher ceiling.

I am not at all impressed with Abdullah Al Qahtani

Sanzhar is 20, has a better record and better wins than a lot of the guys on your list. I think you're tripping. He has a way higher ceiling than most, Bitey Igor too of course.

Like this. When I lead this kind of debate, I want us to be guided by some criteria with which we would determine something, because obviously one person values one thing, one another. I sorted them by skillset, some assessment of how much he can progress by looking at his constitution, size, coordination memory and the area he comes from is a first postulate. Other postulates are how well he adheres to the meta technique in his division and whether his fighting style can be passed in the division itself. Third criteria is old of age and achievements. I made this list more in the style of who can do more in his career of course, according to the subordination, let's say at this moment, Martinetti may have won Ildris, but I think that his ceiling is higher in terms of career.Sanzhar for not to compare him with everyone individually, I think he has a good manager and he very well work with him... As for the first criterion, there is a lot of room for improvement, in stand-up I see a problem at the very heart of his game, which is his sense of distance and coordination. In wrestling, they will have problems with fighters who defend those 3 zones of level changing and do not overextend themselves by reactions. Thirdly, I expect that at some point he will move to bantam, that it will be more favorable for him in terms of the set of meta techniques and his constitution itself. As for Severino, maybe if he was in the cage with the fighters I mentioned, he would beat them, but I really think that if he wants to be successful in an organization like the UFC, he has to change his game to the core. Basing your style on the finish instinct and living on the edge all the time in a division like flyweight is fatal.
I have such a different vision which I could absolutely be wrong.
