   Patchy Mix

   "No Love"

   20-1-0

   1993 - USA - Bellator Champion
   
   Scarily developing ways to KO people standing as well as having some of the best backpacking and finishing from there in the game. Done pretty much everything he can in Bellator and now being pushed onto a rematch cycle of guys he's beaten already. I think his striking offence is evolving more quickly than his striking defence. Has a good jab and getting leg kicks involved but head movement not really elite when he's standing in range.

   José Aldo

   "Junior"

   32-8-0

   1986 - Brazil - UFC
   
   Rolled back the years in incredible performance against Martinez and looked as though he'd never been away. Still really fast, amazing combos and body punching, leg kicks still there, still checks them beautifully, still looks hard to takedown although can maybe still be held against the cage.

   Kyler Phillips

   "The Matrix"

   12-2-0

   1995 - USA - UFC
   
   Stylish as **** striker, beautifully balanced, great movement and finding of angles with huge variety on his strikes. Very fast and accurate and picks his shots well, most people aren't going to be able to stand with him. Has a decently aggressive guard too, happy to throw up decent armbars and triangles. Looked like he'd really levelled up in his fight against Pedro.

   Magomed Magomedov

   "Tiger"

   20-4-0

   1991 - Russia - Bellator
   
   Great scrambler, capable of out scrambling even the likes of Sabatello. Really good squeeze on chokes and catches guillotines well. Good cage wrestling and the usual dagi trips. Closes distance quickly with punches up the middle where he brings his feet through with him and catches people over the top. Very competitive in rematch with Mix.

   Deiveson Figueiredo

   "Deus da Guerra"

   23-3-1

   1987 - Brazil - UFC
   
   Former 125 UFC champ doing well at 135 since stepping up. Seems to have carried power up and strength seems to have come with him also. Cardio and pace actually seems like it could be a little bit better without the big cut but hasn't really been pushed there yet. Very good grappler when he can get on top, good back takes and powerful squeeze on RNC's and guillotines. A little bit on the older side for someone in the lower weight classes.
   

6. 6

   

   Jonathan Martinez

   "Dragon"

   19-5-0

   1994 - USA - UFC
   
   This guy seems to be the peak exponent of the Factory X style, great leg kicks, solid hands, good TDD solid BJJ. Very calm with a good fight IQ. Couldn't deal with a more technical guy in Aldo who was faster than him. Did hang in there and show good toughness. Seems when his leg kicks aren't in the equation it affects him a lot.

   Pedro Munhoz

   "The Young Punisher"

   20-9-0, 2 NC

   1986 - Brazil - UFC
   
   Always going to be a tough challenge for up and comers and a good gauge of where they're at. Pretty much impossible to finish although you can land on him a lot and get ahead of him on points if you're quick. Leg kicks are still there and it's still hard for other leg kickers to beat him in that style of fight. BJJ really good but doesn't really use it.

   Victor Henry

   "La Mangosta"

   24-6-0, 1 NC

   1987 - USA - UFC
   
   Grizzled vet making the most of late career UFC run after being a well kept secret for years. Breaks dudes by fighting at a high pace with good boxing which builds over the course of a fight, stays in the face of people as they slow down and he doesn't. Catch wrestling background means he's a perfectly competent grappler too, fine staying safe against decent level BJJ guys.

   Pavel Vitruk

   19-6-1

   1990 - Ukraine - ACA Champion
   
   Enjoying the best run of his career which has lead him to become the champ in ACA. Patient and fights pretty well off the back foot, very good at get ups and seperating which is important in Russia, wrestlers don't like it when they take him down and he just pops back up and shoves them off. Was down in my opinion when he caught Borisov with the knee, but he still caught him and he's still got the belt.

    Oleg Borisov

    26-7-1

    1985 - Russia - ACA
    
    Former ACA champ who you can rely on to always fight the same way. Very roided and the juice seems to have done his gas tank well, just walks forward all fight putting pressure on people and throwing. Not really a KO artist but he'd got a solid chin and it's just a lot to deal with for people, throws some level changes in too just to keep things varied and can do it for 5 rounds no problem. Getting old but not really looking any worse, was up against Vitruk before getting caught with a knee that would have KO'd anyone.

    Soo Chul Kim

    22-7-1

    1991 - South Korea - RIZIN
    
    On a very good run since returning, stayed nice and active, avenged his comeback loss against Park and his other loss against Archuleta was razor thin. Plenty of finishes outside of that. Good leg kicks and really dings the overhands in hard when he throws them. Has a nice guillotine which he uses as a device to stand up as well as an attempted sub.

    Adrian Yanez

    17-5-0

    1993 - USA - UFC
    
    Very fast hands and very crisp boxing but some limitations starting to come to the fore now he's mixing it with higher class opponents. Leg kicks seem to be an issue as he places a lot of weight on his front foot to let his hands go but in all fairness Martinez is very good at those. Good power, better when patient with it and not just trying to sling for the fences though.

    Cody Garbrandt

    "No Love"  |  14-6-0

    1991 - USA - UFC
    
    Chin obviously terrible, nowhere near the fighter he was when he was the UFC champ. Still fast and still carries power in his hands and if he can detonate a hook on someone's chin he can always get the KO. Good wrestler when he uses it but doesn't seem to have the gas tank to use it as a style. Not really comfortable off his back. Comments of getting vertigo on the mat after the Figgy fight a concern. More than capable of clearing up lower level UFC guys but struggle to see him beating anyone in and around the rankings again.

    Rodrigo Vera

    "El Gato Loco"  |  17-1-1

    1995 - Peru - Fusion FC Champion
    
    FFC Champ is developing into a really good fighter at this point. Starting to add striking to his grappling based pressure game and it's working well for him. Punches in close range now which helps his pressure, really steps into shots against the cage and fires off fast combos there. Keeps a nice and high guard while lifting leg to avoid leg kicks to create kind of a defensive triangle as he comes in. Wrestling has always been really good and seems to be getting even better, very good at getting really deep on doubles, picking guys up and dumping them. Has good cardio to keep doing that for three rounds too.

    Nkosi Ndebele

    "King"  |  8-2-0

    South Africa - BRAVE Champion
    
    Looked excellent in his trilogy against Shorty Torres. I thought he won the first one, but he got robbed, then avenged it decisively twice. Really superb counter fighter, long and hard jab, steps in with a jabbing kick to the body and oblique. Great jumping and clinch knees. Really good stand up fighter. Does get taken down a bit, good get ups, but needs to work on avoiding clinches in the first place a little bit.

    Nikita Mikhailov

    11-3-0

    1998 - Russia - RCC
    
    Solid first appearance post-Bellator as he went after Brazilian journeyman and quickly crushed him with hooks around the clinch. Took good guys like Higo and Barzola to beat him in Bellator.

    Jose Torres

    "Shorty"  |  12-3-1

    1992 - USA - BRAVE
    
    Would be one of the best flyweights in the world if he'd fight there, but got himself stuck in this class for now. Still a threat with the wrestling in this division, good back taker and insanely ******* tough.
    

18. 18

    

    Ali Taleb

    10-1-0

    1997 - Sweden - PFL
    
    Seems like he might have a bit of an issue with takedown defence and getting stuck on the bottom. Puts really good pressure on going forward ont the feet and bangs really hard as Lokdog found out when he showboated against him. Just a concern that he was put on his back quite a lot by someone like Abzakh. Still probably favourite to win the first season of PFL Mena.

    Juan Díaz

    "Pegajoso"  |  12-1-1

    1998 - Peru - Lux Fight League champion
    
    Used to be known as a grappler but has worked on his boxing to the extent that that's really considered his strength now. Really nice movement and picks up on the timing with his hands throughout the fight, finding his angles well. Still has good grappling from the back bodylock and can use his jits if he wants. Only loss is a razor thin decision against the other elite Peruvian bantamweight prospect Gato Loco which could have gone either way.
    

20. 20

    

    Vince Morales

    "Vandetta"  |  15-7-0

    1990 - USA - Tuff-N-Uff
    
    Dunno what regional Morales did with UFC Morales but he seems like a completely different guy at the moment. Especially in his fights with Motoya and Guerrero he's transformed into an aggressive pressure boxer who gets into good range and unloads combos and dives into doubles if he wants. He's even picking up guys and slamming them now, while putting a great pace on and keeping it up. Three finishes and a decision over Motoya since he left the UFC leaves him in a good position to get back.

    Mitchell McKee

    "Merciless"  |  6-0-0

    1997 - USA - LFA
    
    Former division 1 wrestler so obviously has the offensive grappling going for him. Transitioning pretty smoothly into MMA and building a solid record in MMA. You'd expect him to beat everyone he's beaten so far but he's done so in decent style with dominant grappling and back takes. Does look to have decent power but finishes have slowed a bit as his competition has got slightly tougher. Kind of reminds me a bit of Ricky Simon in the way that he fights. Probably ready for a contender series shot.
    

22. 22

    

    Nicholas Hwende

    8-1-0

    1997ish - Zimbabwe - BRAVE
    
    Rapidly improving beast, dude is not doing things the easy way having left Africa as EFC champion to choose to go to BRAVE and fight a bunch of Dagestanis and Tajiks. Ran Alkhasov very close and then strung a couple of great wins together. Really looked like he'd adapated against Nazarov, getting his own takedowns and working way back up when taken down himself with no damage. Sub defence seems really good, cardio seems excellent.

    Ary Farias

    "AstroBoy"  |  14-4-0

    1989 - Brazil - Shooto Brasil Champion
    
    Multiple time BJJ world champion, obviously great at that, back takes are absolutely exceptional and among the best in the world. Relies on athletic double legs to get to the mat usually which get harder later in the fight, can get back trips too. Throws pretty hard on the fight but pretty lungy and high energy. Gets hit a bit but chin seems solid. Slows down in later rounds of 5 rounders but mostly okay for 3.

    Rani Yahya

    28-12-1, 1 NC

    1984 - Brazil - UFC
    
    Was always one dimensional even in his prime, but nowadays he doesn't have the gas tank to push for takedowns for long. Slower than he used to be so more hittable on the feet and is generally going to get gradually beaten up by decent strikers. If he can get on top the BJJ is still going to be there but it's just tough to see him getting there against anyone decent now.

    Shinobu Ota

    6-3-0

    1993 - Japan - RIZIN
    
    Olympic silver medallist in Greco Roman who's been matched up very tough in MMA. Opened his career with a few matches against frankly ridiculously experienced compared to him guys and got some losses as a result. Ushiko fight was the first time he managed to show he could beat an experienced guy like that. Obviously he has good wrestling and he seems to be improving at using it. Hard to get away from when he has hold of someone in the clinch or from a waist grip as he's insanely strong and very sticky. Does make silly mistakes when it comes to BJJ which might be from old wrestling habits but puts himself in bad positions that are easily avoidable sometimes.

    Kleydson Rodrigues

    "KR"  |  8-4-0

    1995 - Brazil - UFC
    
    Isn't turning out to be what he looked like he could be on the contender series. He's powerful, fast, got really good output, offensive variety and the cardio to keep it up on the feet.Takedown defence absolutely sucks and he's far too passive on his back, doesn't even try to get up, just holds guard and when looks to do something sub or sweep wise it's terrible. Huge grappling hole. Should be able to style on some strikers, but they'd need to have pretty poor wrestling.

    Su Young You

    "Yoo-Jitsu"  |  12-3-0, 2 NC

    1995 - South Korea - Black Combat
    
    Good grappler who takes fights in Kazakhstan as well as Japan and South Korea. Very good scrambler and very good back control with excellent back takes including cool rolling ones. Works way into good positions on the ground and tends to keep them. Stays connected to single leg well. Losses are generally to central Asian beasts when taking fights over there.

    Juntarou Ushiku

    "Fighting Bull"  |  23-11-1

    1995 - Japan - RIZIN
    
    Former RIZIN featherweight champ decided to drop down to bantamweight after a bit of a bad run and his debut at the weight didn't go so well. Was really struggling with the Greco in the fight against Ota, couldn't manage to avoid clinches and couldn't disengage from them. Did get a bit of time on the back when Ota made a mistake.

    Tokitaka Nakanishi

    12-3-0

    1996 - Japan - Pancrase Champion
    
    Good wrestler, decent double leg and top control. Takes the back pretty well and controlled with body triangle. Looks comfortable on feet too, quite bouncy karate style feet and some decent punches. Looks like could be a threat in Road to UFC tournament.

    Vinicius Pires

    9-1-0, 1 NC

    1996 - Brazil - LFA
    
    Really good grappler, likes to get people against the cage and works well with trips where he can move them to the side. Good top player and back taker with good control from there. Caught a bit on the feet against Basilio in the first and had to show some heart to come back and use grappling to get back into it. Really nice uppercut to finish showed he has some offensive striking too.

    Daermisi Zhawupasi

    9-1-0

    2000 - China - TDT
    
    Very persistent and sticky wrestler. Hard to get away from and drags people down. Did really well to manage to tame Ozaki after a tough battle with him. Cardio very good and good back taker, will be pretty tricky for a lot of guys to deal with just because he'll drag them into deep waters.
    

32. 32

    

    Taichi Nakajima

    17-13-1

    1989 - Japan - RIZIN
    
    Very experienced, fought in Russia as well as Japan. Picked up some good wins in RIZIN and Pancrase and it's tended to take guys towards the top of the division to beat him. Comes forward and tries to engage and can wrestle a bit too.
    

33. 33

    

    Ren Ozaki

    6-1-2

    2002ish - Japan - DEEP
    
    Absolutely beautiful movement and footwork, hops around from foot to foot creating angles beautifully. Very hard to get a read on or close the distance on. Closes distance to land his own strikes really quickly and also seems to crack. Got dragged into a wrestling contest eventually on RUFC, committed to bouncing up and working back towards the cage. Fought off a really deep RNC at one point so has heart. Just needs a bit more experience to stay away from sticky wrestlers but looks a great prospect, movement should be even hard to deal with in a bigger cage.

    Quang Le

    "Bang"  |  8-0-0

    1991 - Vietnam - LFA
    
    Getting better, had a couple of close fights with low level guys early on in his LFA tenure which made me think he was a bit limited but has stepped up his game and got a couple of good, fast finishes with dynamic striking since.

    Rachid Haz

    14-3-0

    1992 - Spain - PFL
    
    Didn't manage to win PFL Europe so giving PFL Mena a crack. Fights well when gets to come forward. Puts decent pressure on and wrestling is okay. Takes back pretty well. Might be a bit chinny.

    Youssouf Binate

    5-0-0

    1997 - Ivory Coast - Ares
    
    Recently moved down from 145 and made weight fine and showed good level of energy against an opponent who kept coming at him and shooting. Taken down a couple of times but showed an ability to work back up. Good long striking at range and uses knees to body really well in plum clinch situations, cracking the sternum repeatedly which can really impact the opponents gas tank. Keeps pace well and got finish in the third round during his first time being extended out of the first.
    

37. 37

    

    Elias Boudegzdame

    "Smile"  |  19-8-0

    1993 - Algeria - PFL
    
    Rubbish takedown defence but a very good sub game. Goes for subs very aggressively and prone to losing position. Tends to run into trouble against higher level guys who are just a bit more careful with the grappling and just shut him down when they get on top.
    

38. 38

    

    Tatsuya Ando

    14-4-1

    1990 - Japan - Shooto
    
    In over his head at featherweight in Road to UFC but showed he was tough as **** and it's going to be hard for people at bantamweight to finish him. Throws back well himself and has plenty of finishes.

    Khaseyn Shaykhaev

    7-1-0

    1997 - Russia - LFA
    
    Nowhere near as good as his brother but went with him to Kill Cliff and has been there for a while , but I don't think he's as committed as Khuseyn. Still pretty fundamentally sound fighter both on the feet and with the wrestling, doesn't do anything special but solid enough.

    Carlos Veras

    5-1-0, 1 NC

    1999 - Brazil - Shooto Brasil
    
    Very competitive in SB title shot against Ary Farias. Clearly confident in his grappling as willingly went to the ground with Ary. Obviously not able to do a lot offensively but defended back well when lost it against world class BJJ. Good cardio, fought 5 rounds no problem, good sprawl if he wants to stay off the ground for the most part.

    Tariq Ismail

    "Desert Storm"  |  8-1-0

    1990 - Canada - PFL
    
    Pretty boring pressure dude fighting out of Tri-star. Presses forward, looks to get guys into the cage and be dull from there. Has an okay jab, but doesn't look anything special.

    Omar Arteaga

    "Codigo 50"  |  11-1-0

    1998 - Peru - Samurai Fight House Champion
    
    Pretty dynamic, very good intercepting jump knee when opponent tries to take him down. Decent long strikes in general. Ends up getting clinched against the cage a lot but works back up pretty well if taken down. Has shown he can keep safe against at least loose leg lock attempts.
    

43. 43

    

    Farbod Iran Nezhad

    12-3-1

    1990 - Iran - Oktagon
    
    Jesus this dude is boring. I mean he's pretty effective but it's hard to have any interest in watching him. Just a sticky cage grinder who stays connected well and goes for constant mat returns without ever really threatening to finish. But he's got good cardio to keep it up and he's got a strong body lock grip so guys find him difficult to get away from so it works I guess.
    

44. 44

    

    Carlos Eduardo

    "Carlin Let's Go"  |  15-6-1

    1986 - Brazil - Fusion FC
    
    Solid Nova Uniao veteran who's fought just about everywhere. Usually loses to most top prospects but he's capable of a fraud check if they're not what they're cracked up to be and he's a game guy who'll give them a test. Decent at popping off shots while being pressured, solid hands while going backwards and decent leg kicks. Underhooks pretty well against the cage but the really good grapplers usually get him down. Usually turtles to get back up and stays pretty safe doing it. Solid cardio and will make people work all three rounds.

    Hurshed Nazarov

    "Good Boy"  |  9-1-1

    2000 - Tajikistan - BRAVE
    
    Looked good in the first round against Hwende, good pressure standup against the cage mixed with good wrestling, nice mat returns and turn off trips. Couldn't keep up with Hwende cardio wise and ended up losing but that's a guy on his way to the big leagues.
    

46. 46

    

    Shohei Nose

    12-5-2

    1997 - Japan - RIZIN
    
    Gritty and aggressive, looks to be a good scrambler and tries some funky submissions. He got shut down by a more well rounded grappler on Road to UFC but looks like he could give a lot of people trouble.

    Cameron Smotherman

    "The Baby-Faced Killer"  |  10-4-0

    1997 - USA - Fury FC
    
    Better than he showed on DWCS but still struggles with TDD a little bit, tendency to give his back up a little bit. Good power on the feet when he lands clean and has a decent habit of coming back into fights when behind.
    

48. 48

    

    Mate Sanikidze

    "The NextGen"  |  11-3-0

    1998 - Georgia - Oktagon
    
    Very frustrating 135 debut after a solid run at 145 where he even managed to win the title. Looks extremely tall and long at the weight but couldn't get Nerzhod off him. Get ups were actually pretty good but just not good enough at grip fighting to separate and get away from the blanketing. Does have a nice high kick on the feet. Don't read too much into his win over Keita as that was a freak injury.

    Ashiek Ajim

    "Your Mom's Favorite Fighter"  |  8-3-0

    1994 - USA - Combat FC Champion
    
    New nickname of "Your mom's favourite fighter is great". Lost on the Contender Series and trying to rebuild himself on the regionals, lost to Vilson but Vilson probably missed weight like usual. Dude really cracks and picks his finishing shots carefully when he gets someone hurt, carries hands low which makes it hard to see where his punches are coming from as they're pretty quick but he has been cracked and finished a couple of times carrying him like that. Feels like the kind of guy who could beat or lose to a lot of guys on any given night.

    Hecher Sosa

    "Guanche Warrior"  |  9-1-0

    1995 - Spain - WOW FC
    
    On a solid run around various European promotions at the moment and is FCR Champ as well as fighting in WOW. Offensively pretty dynamic, has very good and explosive flying knees and gets knees up quickly in general. Sometimes goes a bit over the top with the offence and throws flashy stuff that doesn't have any chance of landing. Leg kicks fine and has a decent top grappling game. I don't like the way he tries to lean to defend punches though as he doesn't really look quick enough at it for me and it feels like he's begging to get clipped.

    Balgyn Jenisuly

    17-5-0

    1995 - China - Alash Pride
    
    Road to UFC regular is a fairly tough wrestler, runs through his shots pretty well. Pushes the pace as much as he can. I don't think he's particularly good but he stays on people and makes it hard work.
    

52. 52

    

    Michel Lima

    "Pânico"  |  18-6-0

    1992 - Brazil - LFA
    
    Flashy striker but doesn't really hit very hard and doesn't set things up. I tend to think if you're going to throw big stuff all the time it makes less sense if you don't have so much power. Striking defence not amazing, but he's okay and will probably style on lower level dudes.

    Hunter Azure

    11-3-0

    1992 - USA - United Fight League Champion
    
    Spotty results recently but rebounded from DWCS dissapointment by putting on a good pressure boxing performance against Cosme, getting good volume off with the hands while coming forward before finding a nuke of a right in the 2nd.

    Xavier Alaoui

    "The Breadman"  |  14-6-0

    1991 - Canada - PFL
    
    Fairly competent guy who's settled into fighting in the Middle East over the years. Pretty well balanced striking when on the front foot, doesn't look so good when gets pushed back. Offensive grappling good, defensive grappling poor. Takedown defence not good and gives back far too often.

    All offence, no defence. When it goes well, it's incredibly entertaining and just an absolute torrent of exciting violence which overwhelms people. When it goes badly he gets badly slept by a random Chinese dude he really should be beating talent wise. Mistake prone in both striking and grappling but the sheer ferocity of his offence both in striking and ground and pound means I'm still holding out hope for the guy.

    Style of having long unorthodox offence didn't work that well at the upper echelons in flyweight so I really don't see how it's going to work at bantamweight. Offensively pretty fun, but defensively awful and better guys defensively don't seem threatened by his wild offence at all.Tries absolutely ******** stuff like rabonas in an MMA fight sometimes.

    Bit of a journeyman who had an okay record in Brazil before trying his luck in Russia, won his RCC debut but then got pretty much crushed by Mikhailov.

    Super, super aggressive guy. Comes forward hard full on flinging his entire body weight into massive punches. Very risky style but if he catches people they're pretty ******.

    Okayish wrestler but not really outstanding enough at it to make it work at a good level I don't think. Should be good for giving a lot of regional dudes a rough time. Striking sort of okay, doesn't really have any power but seems to train it. Can take a shot and has decent cardio. Probably going to be the kind of guy who's a gatekeeper to a DWCS shot.

    Far too low output in Road to UFC appearance. Has an alright jab but doesn't really use it enough. Ditto with the leg kicks. Too passive when stuck on the bottom and even looked happy to ride a round out with his opponent on his back in a fight he was losing.

    Smashed cans but tended to lose to top regional competition. Was competitive with Pires though and hurt him on the feet, looks good offensively striking. Lost back a lot when grappling so needs to stay on the feet.

    Got all the way to the UFL Grand Prix finals where he couldn't get his countering going at all against good boxing pressure from Azure and just ended up throwing a few kicks before getting flatlined.

    Had a good start early in his comeback fight against McEwan. Willing to walk opponent down and got a couple of drops. **** when he ends up on his back and lets subs get too deep, also fades badly late in fights. Doesn't seem like he'll ever be returning to the UFC but could probably carve himself out a decent regional career if he carries on.

    Decent wrestling at least against a guy with awful takedown defence. Pretty experienced for someone as young as he is. Faded a bit in the third round. Likes to really oversell fouls. Record fairly solid, losses either against good Brazilian regional guys or overseas.

    Stacked for the weight class. Seems strong, likes to get guys down and work aggressive ground and pound to get them out of there. Effective at the low level he's currently fighting at.

    Former Cage Warriors title challenger is pretty **** on the feet, just tries to move side to side and looks to time takedowns. Gets hit a fair bit and don't think chin is that great. Is tough and does have good cardio and his top game is pretty good when he can actually get there, don't think will ever get beyond regional level.

    Awful takedown defence is his achilles heel. Has a decent sub game off his back but hard to get much going from there these days against most people. Striking is kind of okay but difficult for him to stay off his back for long enough to use it. Don't see him joining his brother in the UFC.

    Tough guy, maybe a bit too tough for his own good against Ajim, took a lot of hard shots to the chin before finally falling. Striking looks fundamentally fairly tidy, just a bit unathletic and slow which is going to get him caught against faster guys.

    Tough guy, does alright on the LATAM regionals but struggles against better regional guys. Seems a tough dude and he's aggressive with decent leg kicks. Tries to scramble out of bad positions as best he can.

    Not sure how this guy got a Road to UFC invite as his record didn't look promising. Reality was as expected as he looked very poor on his back, giving back and doing very little right before getting subbed.

    Tough grappler, pretty limited. Fights through being hurt pretty well but outclassed pretty thoroughly in Arteaga fight. Likes going for leg locks which look like they'll work against cans but good guys should shut them down easily enough. Doubt he ever progresses much beyond the regional Argentine scene.
