    I'm a huge fan of Cieślak as well, Benavidez is big favourite though. One thing I find interesting is that there will be big weight difference in the ring. Cieślak is a big guy, from what I know he rehydrates to about 220lbs, and I think Benavidez doesn't even make weight to fight at cruiser.

    Fun match up but certainly not a title worthy fight.

    I’d back Miller to outwork Gassiev to a decision. If Gassiev could stop Miller, it would be quite impressive.

    I like Gassiev, but Miller (who outweighs him by about a hundred pounds and will likely be on PEDs) is a very bad matchup for him.

    I expect him to be favored, he was favored against Pero and everyone was saying Pero would smoke him which was a shocker

    That fat belly is just a bigger target to hit.

    Go Gassiev!

    Hopefully they will find a better opponent for Dainier Pero next time out. He's the better of the two Pero brothers, but he's been fighting very soft opposition.

    Another win for Hemi Ahio against a nobody opponent. He was meant go face Kiki Toa Leutele, but he pulled out last minute, so Hemi Ahio was forced into fighting a late notice opponent. Sadly for Hemi, the bigger fights just haven't ever arrived for him.

    I didn't like this because it's not good news. But I thought that Ahio could have come in as a live dog against top shelf up-and-comers in the past. If Teremoana is fighting in Australia, and is looking for a challenge who's experienced but mid-30s, I reckon Ahio could be a good choice. I don't know the promotional ins-and-outs of this though, or if Teremoana prefers a recognised American name?

    I actually think it’s a decent Matchup for gassiev, Murat struggles with movers he won’t have to go looking for miller.

    miller is extremely hittable and got dragged into a war with Browne, also never hook with a hooker.

    Murat stops him.
