I think most people are missing the point here. Yeah the guy hes fighting is shit, but with all the big fights not possible at this time hes just going for the easy victory which he can get through without injury or any other problems so he'll be well prepared for Woods, Johnson ect... when the time comes. The opponent is shit, thats the point!

As for people who say he should fight one of the better known and more worthy contenders, whats the point? Hes beaten any contender who's challenged his title for nearly 9 years. If he wins its expected - hes still got to fight the big names, whereas if he inconcievably loses thats royally fucked everything up. On top of that he could get injured again which would also mess up his plans.

This is simply a fight to win easily and get out of the way while maintaining his health and waiting for the big fights to come available early next year.
