Oh so much for the Bakole fight then. It's still a good fight but Yoka should come through it relatively unscathed.
I guess this will be a pretty big fight in France. Takam is a proven quantity, he gave Joyce a good fight so still has something left. Obviously Yoka will be the big favourite but it will be good to see where Yoka is compared to others who fought Takam, it's a good measuring stick fight. This does mean Bakole is free, maybe we finally get to see Hrgovic/Bakole.
