    Not much explanation required:
    Up to 17 weight divisions, choose one fighter for each.

    No need to pull teeth, if you don’t have a favourite junior bantamweight for example, no need to list one.

    I knew you were fond of Chocolatito, but would bet heavily you'd have gone for Midget Wolgast
