Scouting Prospects for the Contender Series Season 5: Part 3

Pierangela Rodriguez

Strawweight | 28 | Spain but from Venezuela | 5-0 | Win streak: 6 | 4 KO/TKOs

Rodriguez is untested and still green but the potential is there. She’s from Venezuela but living in Spain so she can better pursue her fighting career. Rodriguez is an all-action-type fighter who is a fun one to watch. She’s recently signed with the hottest regional promotion in LFA so to either go straight to the UFC or the Contender Series seems to be in the cards.

Zulkarnaiyn Kamchybekov

Lightweight | 28 | Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, US but from Kyrgyzstan | 5-1 | Win streak: 3 | 2 KO/TKOs

Originally from Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan Kamchybekov has been living in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania training with Extreme Evolution Fight Camp. His only loss is to current UFC fighter Matt Semelsberger who is now 2-0 in the UFC. That fight was a split decision. Kamchybekov has fought his entire career basically for CFFC. In his last fight he won the CFFC lightweight title. Kyrgyzstan fighters have been killing it lately and Kamchybekov has been no different.
