    Hell of a fight. If Bolotniks still has the right mentality that's a good step up.

    Interested to see who Santillan will fight. How bad were Brian Norman's cuts? Other than that I can see it being a knockover or maybe a semi-"name" opponent who won't give him too much trouble like a Jamal James.
