    This would make a lot of sense if it hadn’t already been announced that Mikaelijan’s WBC belt isn’t on the line. I think it’s WBC are blocking it, so the fight will only be for Jai’s Zuffa belt. So even if he wins Jai will have no real belt, he won’t be needed for Benavidez to become undisputed. More likely Cieslak who is WBC interim champion is upgraded to full champ before his fight with Benavidez so Benavidez can collect another belt.

    Maybe GGG has a word to say? Has been mismanaged until the end of his career.

    I think Jai wins a competitive decision but I would not be shocked if he lost. Let's hear your prediction.

    First enlighten us on how "Noel outboxed Briedis but was badly robbed."

    How did you score the fight round by round to have arrived at that conclusion? Let's see your card...

    What's the point when you will just disagree with it? The fact is, the general consensus is that Noel was robbed, from people in the play by play thread to sports writers who reported on the fight. The consensus opinion is what counts not mine or yours.

    Now answer my question and give me your prediction unless you are scared.

    The entire world will disagree with it, that's why you are ashamed to put it up.

    But they don't. Most people in the play by play thread on this forum agreed with me. You seem to live in an alternate reality. You should look into that.

    You also criticized my prediction for the fight, while being too scared to state yours. So damn weak.

    No idea what Jai is still doing at CW, would make a ton more money at HW. There is very little interest or money in the CW division.

    However with his recent decisions its clear he is being very badly advised, and based on that I think he stays at CW.
