    Fight is this weekend. Bam’a first fight at 118. Should he win this then he’ll most likely be on a collision course to an Inoue fight either this year or next. Does Bam make it look easy against Vargas or can Vargas find a way to give him a harder than expected fight?

    Bam Adebayo IS NOT the Basketball Equivalent of a Top 5 Lb for Lb'der, Not Even Close...

    If rodriguez fights this way and gets hit this much vs inoue he'll get crunches

    Bam looked a bit more vulnerable and hit a lot more than expected but still got the job done. Vargas came to fight but Bam just too fast and explosive for him.

    Him against Inoue seems to be the next big super fight underway. Just a matter of when and how soon.

    If rodriguezs teams is concerned with missing out on the payday they'll take it next later this year

    Bad move to me. Maybe he can still win, hes that talented, but his chances would get so much better with at least 1 more fight at 18 or 22 to get acclimated.

    I dont think inoue is that keen on going to 26 vs even bigger guys just for more belts when such a great payday/legacy fight vs a smaller great is available at a weight hes comfortable at. Call the bluff
