    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.
