Versions of MMA has been around forever, but the UFC popularized it and made it a career path around 30 years ago. While that is a very short amount of time for an actual sport, it's long enough to see the evolution with our own eyes. Gone are the days where a fighter only knew one thing and now we have an entire generation of fighters who don't have a specific background and are good everywhere a fight can go. Josh Fremd is one of them. He didn't start as a wrestler or as a boxer, he started as an MMA fighter. sometimes thats great, but it can also be a curse. Unfortunately for Josh, it's a bit of a curse. He has no backup plan, he has no lifelong base to rely on. There is no college wrestling to bail him out or national kickboxing title to worry his opponents. Theres just a bunch of cardio and pretty good skills. That won't be enough here. Abdul has very dangerous striking and a lifelong background in Judo to bail him out if he's in trouble. Adbul is the pick and I threw a half of a unit on him at -155

Josh Fremd

Josh Fremd is a grappler with solid athleticism and some sneaky power in his punches. When he can initiate the grappling exchanges he does very well. When he can't, he looks a bit lost. He has cardio, speed, power and is well rounded enough to adjust to where the fight goes. He has no true martial arts background in any specific discipline but he is well rounded enough. He is coming off the insanely boring loss to Andre Petroski

Abdul Razak Alhassan

Abdul Razak Al Hassan is a powerful striker who tends to head hunt while looking for a knockout. He is actually a high level judo practitioner that fell in love with his striking and power. He's an incredibly talented guy but doesn't always use all of his tools and has been a bit incossitent. He is coming off the no contest with Cody Brundage where he had early success but an illegal strike forced the no contest.
