so many experts in here talking smack about his bad punching form and level of opponent. Fedor swore by looping because they connected even when the hands were up defending straights or crosses. Said it didn’t work in boxing because of the gloves but this isn’t boxing. I wasn’t even talking his hand speed…the kid is super aware and was ducking while launching. it wasn’t just movement, he was reacting to everything. Don’t know how he’ll get to the big stage, but he is special to have that kind of striking instinct AND top level Judo/Sambo

This kid is still growing.

He needs a lot of Striking training to be able to with top UFC HW’s.

The guy’s name is Ion! You can’t mess with that. also the other guy was spurting blood. Anyways, the other guy failed when he decided to slug it out with him, moving strictly forward.

This kid has all the potential and he’s only 18 reminds me of Vitor knocking blocks off at just 18. If he can hook up with the Blackzilians this kid will be unstopable and he’s a small quick 250 he only looks about 220 to me.

I think Bruno spotted something many of you are missing. This guy is not really “raw.” Although young, he is an experience world-level fighter in Sambo and Judo. That’s a better background than most fighters his age starting MMA.
His looping pinches actually have some nice spring to them, which makes him a tough target to hit, like the two people Ozinator mentioned above.
Of course he needs training, but walking around at 250, makes him a medium size HW with lots of speed and power and a great base. Keep in mind that, still today, most HWs are very slow and have awful technique with the exception of the very top elite. So, this kid could definitely make some noise soon.

Thanks Bruno… he’s a beast.

He has amazing Sambo skills as well. Refine his striking and get a little BJJ, this guy will be a UFC contender….

…. he has a chin.

Raw power is one thing but boxing technique is another Bruno. Any experienced fighter in the UFC would not stay in front of this guy with his looping power hooks. Although i wouldn’t mind seeing him fight the people you mentioned.
