10 Heavyweight Prospects the UFC Should Sign in 2023

Sergey Bilostenniy

27 | 6’1″ | Serpukhov, Russia | 10-2 | 7 Finishes | 7 KO/TKO’s | Combined opponents record- 88-31 | Best win- Caio Alencar (12-4)

Bilostenniy is arguably not only the best Russian prospect but the best prospect in general out of the heavyweight division. He has a background in Pankration, Wushu Sanda and Muay Thai winning titles/medals in all three. He’s fought for big Russian promotions like ACA, RCC, FNG, and Open Fighting Championship.

Bilostenniy has looked apart in his MMA career putting on good fights and stunning finishes. He has nasty ground and pound but is a tank on the feet. Bilostenniy is light on the feet that uses a lot of feints. He’s really athletic while being explosive and diverse in his high output. He has very heavy hands and with his speed he can end it at any time. Bilostenniy is definitely a promising guy in the division. Someone you could see in the top 15 in the UFC.
