He's a very beastly wrestler. Depending on how they match him he could make a bit of a dent at heavyweight.

i can see him being a top 5 heavy in the UFC for sure. he's very similar to barnett.. big wrestler with average striking and a nice ground game.

he will probably fight duffee at fight night
