    Rodriguez and Nakatani should really fight it out to see who is better.

    I honestly would have preferred seeing Nakatani against Bam first and then the winner taking on Inoue. It would make the Inoue fight much more meaningful but I know they want to take the opportunity to have an all-Japanese showdown right away.

    More like they know they make that fight, Rodriguez kills the Nakatani-Inoue fight. Like how after the Stevenson-Jack draw, Saluiman pleaded with Bob Arum not to enforce the Gvozdyk mandatory because "the world needed the rematch" like that fight was automatically dead the moment the mandatory was enforced. Turns out he was right.
