Do we think Yoel could ever make 185 again, him vs moussasi is the only big fight in that division. If not rebook the manhood fight or go for the rumble fight.

After Mousasi disposes of Eblen, I hope they make Gegard vs Yoel

Yoel's in their LHW division. Doubt Gegard is going to move up to fight Yoel.

Look at that man’s neck. I think I’d snap my arm trying to choke him and I’m not small. I wouldn’t hit him I. The back of head with a spiked baseball bat. Just a freak athlete and powerhouse. Insane.

Nah, Beltran should have let Polizzi reach the decision, he had already taken a real beating in the last 2 rounds, there was only a second left and it would have been a moral victory for Polizzi who took the fight on short notice.
