    Seems to be one of Turkis favourites. Kind of disappointed me in his last fight.

    Zurdo Ramirez is a free agent, maybe they make that unification next.

    Would be good if Turki could get the winner of CBS/Riakporhe in a unification fight.

    But as they said here, nobody looked good against Briedis

    Briedis is just great fighter, even at 39. People still somehow underrate him after all his achievements. I doubt anybody at cruiserweight gives Opetia such a tough fight as Briedis did at 39

    Moving to bridgerweight to fight Okolie
    And as others have mentioned Zurdo or winner of CBS/Riakporhe also good options.

    Would also love to see a fight with Beterbiev at cruiser.

    I would love to see him piece up Zurdo Ramirez.

    Zurdo makes a good fight! Ramirez is a known commodity and thus a good measuring stick.

    Badou Jack was trying to get in there, too, and the Saudi's might want to make that one.

    This is optimistic. What if his jaw gets cracked again? But looking forwarding to seeing him fight in Sep.

    Nice to see that he’s staying active. He should run through any cruiser not named Briedis.

    A fight with Zurdo would sell well, and Opetaia would crush him, maybe even knock him out in the first rounds...
