Neither of those things would surprise me. The first fight was way too close to favour either guy by much, especially given their respective last fights. AJ fighting the winner has to be likely as well. The only two guys who might be seen as less routine defences for him are Ortiz and Miller imo. Both of those guys are with Hearn, both higher risk with much less reward. I’m sure AJ kind of has his hands tied in the whole thing.
