Weirdly split of the Bakole last minute call up. Obviously a very respectable top name and in the best of worlds it's as solid a match as the original with Dubois minus the title aspect imo. But I highly doubt we're getting the best of Bakole. From what I've seen it doesn't look like he has been near a solid camp, coming in 2 days notice and is only just now arriving in Saudi. Jet lag factor, no proper acclimation time and you can't ignore the very real concerns of the biggest men in the sport throwing serious bombs. These are professional fighters putting entire careers on the line and you want both to be as fit and as fair as possible. I mean crap, for a top contender who is "saving the card" could they at least expedited his flight with a private jet or something. Not trying to drag it all down but money motivates easily and lets some realities slip by the wayside. But I'm sure Bakole with go all out no matter where he is, and Parker will meet him likewise. We'll all see when the dust settles of course.
Welp, Bakoles first "unofficial" weight looks to be 315 lbs. But that was with shoes and dressed
