10 Welterweight Prospects the UFC Should Sign in 2021

Kamal Magomedov

29 | 5’8″ | Moscow, Russia | 8-0 | 100% Finish Rate | 3 KO/TKOs, 5 Submissions’ (3 RNC’s, Guillotine, Triangle) | Combined Opponents’ Record: 36-20-2 | Best Win – Ruslan Rakhmonkulov (11-1)

Despite not fighting in 2020, Magomedov had a good 2019 — but it could have been better. He was signed to US promotion Titan FC and he was supposed to fight former UFC fighter, Mike Graves for the interim welterweight title. Grave had to pull out and Magomed won the title against a different opponent. They were scheduled to fight again but that time Magomedov pulled out.

Magomedov is a really good well-rounded fighter that has tons of potential. He has very clean boxing skills and will change levels and shoot for a takedown at any time. The Russian is a big threat when it comes to catching a neck and on the feet he’s a threat finding that jaw. He needs to fight this year to help his chances of signing with the UFC.
