From what I hear Vasilevsky is no longer with M-1

He isn’t with M-1. Probably because he wants to move to more significant fights and bigger paydays. Smart move, IMO.

Submission via leg kick?
Bad ass

Miocic is nasty. Nobody has even really tested him yet. He was supposed to fight Chase Gormley for the NAAFS belt, but Gormley (wisely) pulled out of the bout. Here is the fight with late replacement William Penn from April.
He was being considered for a Strikeforce card at one point, possibly as the man that would have been put on the GP card where Villante filled in. He was also considered for a bout with Lashley, which obviously didn’t happen because Lashley probably watched video and said “Hell no!”

LOL how did the Texiera fight ever get sanctioned? And why can’t we see Glover fight any legit LHW’s?
Glover has problems getting fights. Nobody wants to fight him, from what I hear.

Totally random, but your thoughts from a “Scouting Report” POV on:
1. Brian “The Predator” Rogers?
2. “Junior PQD”?
"A philosopher and solitary by instinct, who has found his advantage in standing aside and outside, in patience, in procrastination, in staying behind; as a spirit of daring and experiment that has already lost its way once in every labyrinth of the future; as a soothsayer-bird spirit who looks back when relating what will come." -Nietzsche
Hmmm… I’d have to watch some footage, but from what I remember — Junior has a lot of power, somewhat underperformed against Adrian Goncalves in only getting the split decision. He has a great camp however. No reason why he can’t progress to the UFC level. It’s hard for me to get behind guys who lost to Eduardo Pachu though. He’s good, but when Ole Laursen puts the stamp on you and hangs with you on the ground — it doesn’t look good.
Rogers, I think I remember him blasting Jason Jones with a kick to the body at some point. It’s amazing I can even remember that. Again, need to watch some footage. I think he was NAAFS-promoted, which isn’t bad for the Ohio region. He’s also with Miocic’s camp, which means he’s probably a decent striker. I’d have to watch him.

Interesting
PQD is a mad man. His aggression is unmatched, to the point where it’s a little sloppy but admirable like the old Chute Boxe guys.
He started out taking every conceivable fight he could, and though I haven’t seen the Pachu fight, his two other losses were both the second of the night in the finals of a tournament. I have a great relationship with Cromado and all of RFT if you need anything there.
Rogers is just a pure athlete and lost 2 of his first 3, but has been utterly annihilating people since then. Freakish athleticism and strength and is now picking up technique rapidly. He will sink Shlemenko if they fight, and will make serious waves in Bellator’s MW tourney.

I’ll have to check these guys out then. I haven’t had any time as of late, but I’ll put it on my to-do list.

I think the Bellator tourney is a perfect next step for Rogers. He certainly won’t be the favorite, but the field seems pretty wide open at this point with guys like Baker, Shlemenko, and Galesic in the mix™.
Are you trademarking "in the mix"?
How about PQD, had a chance to check him yet?
