Yea I think Yamanaka had initially retired following the first defeat but decided to return after the failed test from Nery and an immediate shot at his old title. The first loss should have been declared a NC for the old champion. His second fight with Moreno was excellent but may have been the last hurrah for both. Before that Solis had him down twice in their fight.
I'm still not sold on Nery, he's been down in previous fights but never seemed heavily hurt, the failed test and weight bullying (on purpose or not) have taken a shine off his two best wins. I think he can make a big impact at 122 if he can make the weight, he might have to go straight to 126.
