Jordan
As of right now, there are a few good prospects from Jordan. Narrowing it down to one I like Yazeed Hasanain (3-0) a lot. Hasanain has a background in KungFu Sanda where he’s a two-time Arab champ. He’s also competed in K1 and boxing along with his undefeated pro MMA record. I’m impressed with the stand-up of Hasanain being able to control the pace on the outside. He uses a lot good footwork, jabs, and strong kickboxing. Still needs to show more but watch out for this guy.
Kazakhstan
Kazakhstan is loaded with a ton of top-notch prospects. Even though he has a loss this year I still think Damir Tolenov (11-1) is the best prospect out of the country. It’s an opinion, and many will say different fighters are the best out of the country. That’s a sign of just how talented the country is. Tolenov is a good striker but an even more skilled grappler holding four submission wins. That’s saying a lot cause his striking is really good. Tolenov slips and rips so well and his shot placement is excellent. Although his grappling is his strong spot I do really enjoy the striking. He’s both technical and deadly. His vision and his striking IQ really stand out. I believe this guy is a top 15 level UFC flyweight in the future.
Kyrgyzstan
Just like Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan is loaded with talent. Of all the talent there is I went with a young man in Razhabali Shaydullaev (9-0) who is just 23-years-old. There isn’t much to offer on the feet from Shaydullaev but he’s a problem on the inside and with his grappling. Of nine wins he has finished all and seven of those come by submission. Shaydullaev is aggressive when going for the submission always improving position and attacking the neck. Shaydullaev is the real deal especially at such a young age.
