@mbach

It's depressing that it is that way, tbh.  HW used to have so many skilled fighters and then they all went away slowly but surely.

And it's not like there are many great hw's coming up. Now this next fight is outstanding. If Bektic can get the win here, he cracks the top 10 and will get another huge fight afterwards.
