Canada
Canada is always an area the UFC are scouting talent from. His brother TJ Laramie got his shot in the UFC and the younger Tony Laramie (8-2) could be next at any time. Laramie is a flyweight who has fought good competition since turning pro. After a pair of consecutive losses in 2017, he’s won his last four fights. He’s a former TKO veteran and a PFC (Prospect FC) flyweight champion. On the feet, Laramie will beat up your body, damage your legs, and try to take your head off. Laramie is a solid wrestler when needed.
Chile
Currently in the UFC Ignacio Bahamondes is representing Chile and doing very well. Diego Gomez Manzur (9-1) is the next one from Chile to get to the UFC. He has key wins over Pipe Vargas and Amun Cosme and his only loss is to a good fighter in Mark Grey. He’s the current Open Fight Latam champ in Chile. At the end of the year, he’s going to Argentina to fight for the Samurai Fight House flyweight title. Gomez is a big submission threat and since he’s moved down to 125 he’s an even bigger threat.
China
China is so tough to scout from and to find the right fighter because most have inflated records because of how active they are. Also, in China, promotions lack in actually showing their fights to the public audience. I wanted to go with someone young in their career and without a loss which led me to Cong Wang (3-0). Cong has the hype because of her background in kickboxing. She has a draw with Tiffany van Soest and a title win over Valentina Shevchenko. She was 8-0-1 in kickboxing and was a two-time gold medalist in Sanda. She’s looked good in MMA coming off a good win over a good opponent.
