Respecting (and Scouting) Older MMA Prospects

Shajidul Haque
Flyweight
16-5
England
32

Haque has been around for a while fighting some of the best out of the UK. Only two of his eighteen opponents had a losing record. He’s been performing at his best lately riding a six-fight win streak. Last December he won the Cage Warriors flyweight championship and he recently got his first title defense. Haque has all the tools, he is very solid all around and can take the fight anywhere. He has striking, kickboxing with power in his hands and of course a lot of speed.

Eldar Eldarov
Welterweight
14-1
Bahrain
32

Eldarov has a lot going for him as he’s the head coach for KHK MMA Team. It’s a reason he doesn’t fight as much but he’s a legit fighter at 170. He has impressive wins over some really good fighters and his only loss was thirteen years ago to no other than Khabib Nurmagomedov. He hasn’t lost since being on a current 13-fight win streak. Eldarov was a former World Cup of Sambo champion and a former European sambo champion.
