A  thoughts really...Jorda Radev...I wish the UFC had him in his prime, what a ******* beast, only guy to KO Shlemenko, best Bulgarian MMA fighter. He's a great coach now in the US though so it's cool.

I'd like to see Shlemenko at 170lbs, he falls short to guys like Lombard and Jacare because he's outsized and imposed upon too easily at 185lbs. 

I think Shlemenko is a bit slow for being a small MW, think Larkin or Amagov ( before he dropped) They were always super athletic and quick, albeit Shlemenko is a technical beast with diversity and ingenuity his level of competition poopy. 

Can you imagine Shlemenko vs Cung Le? Make it happen Dana.

Shlemenko is atop the heap at 185 outside of the UFC. If he were to ever make it to the UFC, he could prob make top 10. If he were able to make 170 without draining himself too much, he could probably fair a little better.

Shlemenko is pretty awesome, it'd be cool to see him drop to 170, he's a small 185.
Speaking of Radev, McFedries vs Radav was a badass KO
