10 Welterweight Prospects the UFC Should Sign in 2022

Jesse Urholin

32 | 6’1″ | Pori, Finland | 8-0 | 6 Finishes | 4 KO/TKOs, 2 Submission’s (Triangle, Von Flue Choke) | Combined Opponents’ Record: 56-23 | Best Win – Dante Schiro (6-1)

The Finland native is a BJJ black belt and arguably the best grappler out of the Nordic area. He’s won medals at the IBJJF European Open, ADCC trials, was an ADCC European Champion in 2015 and 2017, and was an ADCC World qualifier those two same years. He signed with Cage Warriors last year and is now 2-0 for the promotion.

Urholin is very good in the grappling department, but his ground and pound is also fierce. Which makes Urholin a feared grappler, as if he isn’t putting you out with a submission he will smash you with punches and elbows. To complement his grappling he does have good wrestling usually utilizing takedowns from the clinch. He can fight his style all day and probably five rounds.
