    I'd like to see this fight. As a voluntary defence and a homecoming for Hrgovic in Croatia.

    It makes sense. Revenge for the corruption at the Olympics!

    Nah, Hrgovic wants to unify there are no better fights to make for him right now.

    Not happening. Either he unifys the belts or he becomes mandated to fight Frank Sanchez

    Hrgovic has to take care of his mandatory Sanchez first, hopefully they can make the fight for November or December.

    Lots of good possible matchups for him in 2027: Kabayel, Gassiev, Yoka, etc.

    Sanchez is cuban, he will always take the easy money if offered.

    Not sure what Frank wazza will do next, apparently his plan was Itauma beats Hrgovic then drops the tire and fights Dubois at the end of the year.

    Yoka is not exciting enough or in any kind of position to be in line for a fight against Hrgovic.

    Yoka is operating at a lower level, a tier down from European level these days.

    I like the idea of Yoka vs a 43 year old 325lb Bakole, its a 50/50 fight these days.

    Yoka hasn't done anything to warrant a fight with Hrgovic.

    He'd be a decent comeback opponent for Itauma though.
