    He's made a good start with the organisation, still has a long way to go but he's getting better fight by fight. We're happy with how he's developing & who knows, one day he could become world class if he works hard. EFC as an organisation are top quality, it's certainly an incredibly well run promotion who take amazing care of fighters & coaching team. Closest experience to UFC I'd imagine as they mimic everything the UFC does from weigh ins to fight night, all apart from using a Hexagon :)

    I think the lad has lots and lots of talent. I am not an expert by any means but I recon his hands and feet could trouble almost anybody in the world and his last submission was superb. He is a lovely chap too.

    It's nice to hear a trainer/promoter give a balanced and reasoned view.
    Far too often its over the top hyperbole, but you sound quite down to earth.

    It was a good win, verses a very experienced guy, and he had the upper hand the whole fight. I'm not trying to detract from that at all, but the submission that ended it was pretty poor imho. And it wasn't the sub he was going for.

    Very like the Manny Gamburyan Sub over Nate Mohr.
    1/3 technique 1/3 athleticism, 1/3 Luck. But he was dominating up till then anyway. Horrible to watch someones leg pop like that though. Good win none the less
