    Hopefully Prograis can put on one last great performance and beat Benn.

    This isn't under the Zuffa banner so I doubt its the contracted fight with them
    Close association with Ring just makes it easy to slip this in before the Zuffa show

    Well, apparantly it is:

    So Benn isn't actually fighting on a Zuffa card ie like the Zuffa 1-3 cards they've had. He's just fighting on the Fury card & Turki is footing the bill for it, that's the only fight Turki / TKO are paying him for.

    Make it ****ing make sense, lol.

    God I'd love to see the little **** get a beating. :ggg

    Not sure I could watch his nauseating celebrations and posing with a win.

    Another Algieri / Van Heerden type opponent for Benn. Dragging up a former big name, who is way past their best to run through is the Modus Operandi of his career now. He still has not even fought anyone at British title or European title level.

    Yes but this is a 37 year old version who has fought 2 times in the past 3 years. Easy meat.

    What a terrible fight Rougarou is a washed career 140 pounder who is 1-2 in his last 3, almost lost his fight prior to that so he could be 1-3 in his last 4, has been dropped in 3 of those fights and was badly hurt and hurt a number of times in his last fight IIRC by JoJo Diaz who has stopped 1 of his last 16 opponents. And that was a real war too so that's even more miles on his clock. Catterall dropped Rougarou twice for goodness sake, at least once heavily.
