If Curtis Stevens beat Brinkley, people wouldn't have minded this much if Stevens got the shot. Under the rules of the sanctioning organization he kind of earned this shot, but yea Bute might just win in the first round, Brinkley doesn't pose any sort of a threat.

Bute is a good fighter but by the time this tournament is done he will be way behind and I struggle to see him still in the top 3 of the division.
