    What fights do you most want to see in 2026 ? Any division. Not necessarily best v best fights. Just fighters you enjoy watching who would make a good match up.

    Mine (in no particular order).

    1. Inoue v Ball
    2. Opetaia v Ramirez
    3. Benevidez v Bivol or Bebertiev

    Yes and Ball has a good chin and is naturally stronger than Inoue. Would be a cracker.

    Triple Bs - Bivol/Beterbiev/Benavidez - any combination suits me fine, though I think Beterbiev vs Benavidez would be a real battle of relentlessness and will. Who takes the backward step?

    Inoe vs Nakatani.

    I reckon Tetteh will be wheeled out to face Johnny Bosh Fisher. It's inevitable
