Scott Coker: Don't underestimate Strikeforce middleweight Adlan Amagov

Adlan Amagov (right) struts his stuff for Strikeforce. Photo via www.strikeforce.com.

The name Adlan Amagov doesn't exactly roll off the tongue, but for those mixed martial arts (MMA) fans who never heard of the Russian destroyer, take a look at this video to see what Robbie Lawler is up against when they collide this Saturday night (Jan. 7, 2012) on the Strikeforce: "Rockhold vs. Jardine" fight card in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Scary stuff.

That's what Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker was talking about when he told MMA Fighting not to underestimate Amagov simply because he's not a recognizable name.

"The Robbie Lawler fight, against Adlan, that's gonna be a barnburner and I think people underestimate Adlan because they really don't know him. He's been fighting on Challengers, but that's kinda how Luke (Rockhold) got brought up, he came from the Challengers series."

Hear more from Coker on this weekend's Showtime event, after the jump.

They could under estimate him by assuming he's no good due to not knowing of him.

Horrible thing to do but it happens.

Yep exactly. "Robbie is fighting some nobody, he will knock him out"

Actually...

He fought on the last Challengers card and he looked pretty damn impressive. I wouldn’t be surprised if he knocked Lawler out. I can definitely see him fighting with top contenders in the UFC in the near future.

Adlan is a beast from what I have been able to dig up

Hes got good technique for sure. If he can keep his momentum going, I see him in the UFC

I've got Amagov winning this

His Sambo and good striking and hunger make me think he’s got this. Robbie has lost a lot of his momentum and drive. Amagov by submission.

Everything and anything is possible, or nothing
