Igeu Kabesa
Record: 12-1
Age: 26
Height: 5’9″
Birthplace: South Africa
South Africa has had a few of their native sons make it to the UFC, but it’s still not necessarily thought of as a hotbed for MMA. However, over the past few years, regional promotion EFC has changed that. Don’t believe it? Look no further than their 145-pound titleholder [autotag]Igeu Kabesa[/autotag]. Nicknamed “Smiley,” Kabesa has become appointment viewing. Originally from the Demoratic Republic of the Congo, Kabesa has traveled south to destroy the competition in emphatic fashion. He’s riding a four-fight winning streak dating back to a 2017 loss to UFC veteran Danny Henry. He also holds a win over Henry, as well as Bellator star Peter Queally. It’s time for Kabesa to join them in the likes of a top-tier promotion. That journey should begin on DWCS.
T.J. Laramie
Record: 11-3
Age: 22
Height: 5’7″
Birthplace: Canada
At 22, [autotag]T.J. Laramie[/autotag] already has gotten the reps of a seasoned veteran. Unafraid to take tough fights despite his ever-evolving game and high potential ceiling, Laramie has fought Canada’s toughest tests. A well-rounded finisher through-and-through, Laramie is able to take the fight wherever necessary. In his most recent outing, Laramie showed the depths of his cardio and durability when he went 25 minutes for the first time in a victory over fellow top prospect Andrew Cruz. Laramie is the future of Canadian MMA, so why not throw him on DWCS?
