    Fight im looking forward to. Prograis never got the rematch he was due in the taylor fight. Think ramirez was the easier fight for zepeda. Beat him the first fight. Wish we woulda got taylor zepeda and prograis ramirez and winner face off. Always thought prograis would go through ramirez easy.

    Should be a great fight. I think it will be a good opportunity for Prograis to show that he is a level above.

    Great opportunity for Regis. I never thought much of zepeda he should win this fight and call out Taylor.

    Prograis has really become underrated and like a forgotten step child, which is weird because he was neck and neck with Josh in their fight, he wasn't outclassed at all, and was just a shade off winning IMO.

    I still think Prograis is 1a or 2 at 140.

    The Taylor fight could've gone either way should've been a draw and a rematch should've happened years ago.

    It could've, but as time passes people remember less and less, all they remember is the "win column"

    Fk taylor. He took a draw and acted like he ran away with it....got arrogant and lost his last fight. Hes gotta work back up to that level.

    I'll take Rougarou. Zepeda is quality but I feel that Rougarou has the better chin and power and that should be the difference. Don't forget that Rougarou is the only Taylor opponent, other than Catterral who held and spoiled all night against a way below par version of him, in his last ten fights if not longer who didn't hit the canvas.

    the only reason is because regis is taking the fight on 1 month notice. otherwise id say he stops him.
