This is a great topic and as a fan of ESPN2 FNF, this is something that happens pretty regularly on that show.
I think that was Juan Velasquez, I was big on him thinking he'd be the future of 122. I thought about mentioning him, but chose Cruz instead because he was further along in his career. FNF is great for seeing this, you really do get competitive fights generally
