    Nakatani will vacate his WBO belt. The highest ranked contenders are Cristian Gonzalez and Riku Kano.

    If Rodriguez vacates his WBC I expect Estrada-Gonzalez III to be for the vacant belt.

    What are your guys' thoughts on Bam's move?

    Ducking the smoke at 115 after the near disaster w/ the unheralded Israel Gonzalez.

    :facepalm:

    Seems like Bam is focused on facing Sunny Edwards in the future, which is a great match up. I don't blame him for moving back down. He'll probably fight at 115 again after he faces Edwards. He's got some good fights lined up for him.

    good move, for the reasons he states. multiple weight champ looks great on a resume. i think he can jump back and forth, try and unify both. that would be something. undisputed in 2 divisions simultaneously.

    This is weird...

    Why's he targeting Edwards, but not Nakatani? For that matter, why's he not chasing Roman or Gallo?

    Nakatani is moving up and he probably wants to pick up belts at 112 while he can make the weight.

    Roman and Gallo don't have much longer in the game. They're already damaged goods and have a ton of mileage, but not shot like Cuadras and SSR.

    Edwards is young and can move up in 1-2 years time. That fight is always going to be there.

    I think it's a duck.
