He should rematch Whyte.
Dillians done more than enough to earn the rematch.
All these other guys are complain about purses. AJ should just offer the fight to others, Bryan, Kabayel, Kownacki, Breazeale. All these guys would jump at the opportunity.
Disagree, do you really want to see AJ fight these B level fighters just because they will accept his purse offer? AJ can make fights with all of them if he truly wants to, he has the clout to do it.

I am suspecting AJ is not as confident as he claims he is and prefers to play it safe.
Well Smashup is calling Miller a nobody, and Kownacki's record is not far of Millers. Bryan is #1 somehow in 1 of the alphabet groups. Like Slim mentioned, Ortiz has put his name forward. I think it's these other guys that aren't so confident and what to get as big a purse as possible, in case they are sent to the back of the line. It just shows how worthless these titles have become, now it's all about the money, rather than establishing yourself as the man and winning the championship.

Heard that, it's a decent fight. And he's willing to take what's offered, then get it done. I wonder if they will let the Pulev fight go to a purse bid. Can't see Hearn wanting to give up anything.

Thats amazing considering he's fighting a complete nobody.

AJ is the money man, that is the problem as well, everyone expects to make millions to fight him. These guys that are refusing the fight should be dropped from the ratings.
