The victory made it 4-1 for Brown in his last five, and he finished three of those wins before the final horn, showing that he can either get an opponent out of there early or take them into deep waters. Now “Rudeboy” is ready for the welterweight Top 15.
WHO’S NEXT? Brown versus Geoff Neal or Santiago Ponzinibbio? Sign me up.
5 – Alexandr Romanov
Alexandr Romanov has the size, the record and the style to become a player in the heavyweight division, and the style part of it may be the most important factor as the Moldovan moves up the ranks. On Saturday, he was at his mauling, ground-and-pound best in beating Jared Vanderaa. He had some issues with Juan Espino in his previous bout, but other than that, he’s been untouchable. One to watch for sure.
WHO’S NEXT? Blagoy Ivanov would be an interesting matchup of two heavyweight powerhouses with Top 15 implications.
