2 more than me. Only know Krylov and Rozenstruik.
I want to get back into the up-and-coming, but the product hasn't pulled me in for a few years. I only catch top 7 contenders bouts, co-mains, and mains these days.

You got me. I just had to squint really hard to see Caceres name, so much I was about to say I don't see him on there. the "-aceres" did it, I need my glasses.
That's too bad. He was a forum legend back 10-15 years ago. Sort of the working mans man typecast that would get referenced a good amount in the hardcore fan scene.

I dig watching Angie Hill fight, but I'm not that excited about the rest. Might get a cool KO out of Rozenstruik, I guess.
not feeling it, at most rozenstruik will do a big pow wow

Grappling related but Gordon Ryan is fighting today against Roberto Jimenez, who I dont know anything about.
I cant believe how good that guy is. Danaher is an incredible BJJ coach, but Ryan is his star pupil by far. I wonder if he will ever try MMA. I dont know anything about him trying to strike, but he is the best BJJ guy in the world (no-gi) and is also an excellent grappler and decent wrestler.
Who knows, but I imagine he would have some success. He has fought an average of 12 times a year since he started 10 years ago, and has averaged 11 wins and 1 loss per year. He is 149 and 9, hasnt lost in almost 3 years, and has submitted every notable grappler on Earth. You never know though, Rodolfo Viera just lost, many BJJ wizards have come to MMA and gotten handled.
I dont know what happened but there were reports Buchecha was supposed to make his debut in MMA this month. I dont think it was true I havent seen anything.

Ryan spent a couple years threatening to transition to MMA but then stopped talking about it (much like his aspirations of competing in the gi). The rumor was that he had objectively terrible striking. This rings true for me; Ryan doesn't have the right kind of athleticism for MMA. He's smooth and hugely strong in an isometric capacity but doesn't ever exhibit elite explosiveness. A good striker with an anti-takedown wrestling base would tune him up.
Roberto is a phenomenal grappler who has been destroying black belts since he was a pre-teen (he's only 20 now). He's better in the gi and has black belt wins over a number of big names. I fully expect him to get heel hooked by Ryan in short order. When he gets his legs as an adult black belt we'll see him in the running for a gi world championship.
Roberto Jimenez
Roberto Jimenez is an Ecuatorian / American, jiu-jitsu black belt under Raul Jimenez. Roberto is regarded as one of the top athletes of his generation.

He was going to fight some Senegalese giant in One FC but had to pull out due to a training injury.
