This is a true 50/50 fight imo. Plus with Diaz now training Provo, and Atlas training Bradley, emotions would be high. Diaz feels betrayed by Bradley, and from my understanding, rightfully so. Bradley is out to prove that he is a better fighter under Atlas, so what better way to test yourself than against a man you went life and death with. Provodnikov is out to prove that he is still at the top of his game and capable of some big wins.
Tim doesn't need this fight. He beat Provo fair and square. On to bigger and better things. Provo already took something out of Tim that night anyways so why risk it again?
Provo is a one trick punching bag. It's kind of hard to want to watch a guy who thinks defense is blocking with his head.
