oh dear I think takam would have been a better choice.... :S... this look to me like a chance for him to beat up a guy that looks the part(aka black and athletic) but it is pretty much harmless. It will look good to casual fans though.. not a very interesting fight tohugh
It doesn't show a sense of urgency at all especially given the state of the division. He could have gone after someone halfway relevant instead of the heavyweight version of Winky Wright
Winky was a legend compared to Scott Hey any fighter who wears a paper bag over his head for his last huge fight is assuming the embarrassing result or just admitting he doesn't belong there in the first place.

In Maliks case he's doing both and covering all the bases. Seems they are just showcasing Ortiz to a brand new audience here and feel good about a 65 yr old Thompson being able to knock him down.
