Hahahaha... He could've made it a little less obvious. Going up to 175 first and feigning interest by taking on a couple of journeymen... before saying "hey! I can go up to cruiser and fight for a title there!"

But no. Like in the old Monopoly game... "go directly to GO... collect $200." Not even the slightest hint of looking Beterbiev's way. It's all smoke and mirrors from the little bitch. He's scared shitless of a real challenge... so he skips OVER the division to do the ultimate cherry-picking. And his fans bend over for it, while singing his praises. Reminds me of another hypnotic Pied Piper, but in the political arena.

I almost feel sorry for Ginger fans who have to defend these chickenshit actions. It must be gut-wrenching to have to come up with excuses all the time.
