With Kosei Tanaka moving to 112, a showdown with Daigo Higa is mouthwatering for me. Higa is seek and destroy, a little tank.

Brian Carlos Castano already has Lara avoiding the high risk low reward bout.

Hiroto Kyoguchi is another young Japanese wonderkind.

Estrada is still one of my favs.

Tete is finally getting some recognition.

I really like Nery but the whole tainted meat thing has put a bit of a dampener on him.

Daniel Roman is severely underrated.

I think Regis Prograis marks his mark in 2018.

Sergiy Derevyanchenko and Oleksandr Gvozdyk are the boogymen of their divisions.

It's sad that 3 of the WBSS Cruiserweight semi finalists will have to lose. I hope they continue to get respect for challenging themselves and fighting the best.
