Respecting (and Scouting) Older MMA Prospects

Stefan Vojcak
Heavyweight
6-0
Slovakia
32

Vojac is still at his prime at heavyweight even being 32. The good thing for him is he’s only fought in MMA for a little over a year so fight mileage is low. I’ll say his last fight wasn’t a great look but he’s been exceptional outside of that one. Vojcak is a big man that has some light footwork and is quick for his size. It’s been easy so far for him to get the takedown and maul his opponent on the mat. Vojcak has some nice low-shot double-leg takedowns he explodes forward with.

Frans Mlambo
Bantamweight
13-5
South Africa
32

Mlambo doesn’t have the most appealing record but is battle-tested no doubt. He’s beaten the likes of Kevin Cordero, Dominique Wooding, Jonas Magard, and Felipe Efrain. He’s a Bellator veteran as well taking four fights for the promotion. With a lot of success as a pro, he was an IMMAF world champion as an amateur too. He won a one-night tournament Combate held and won three fights in one night, taking home a big trophy in 2021. Mlambo is an excellent boxer. His hands are really sharp and he has a good understanding of his shot placement. Very underrated fighter in this division.
