Thoughts?
I don't have a problem with this fight being for the #10 spot, for the following reasons

Guzman and Peterson have been inactive and we can't rely on them actually fighting in the near future and even if they do, there's no
guarantee that it will be against an opponent at a level higher than
Kevin Kelly. Prescott is scheduled to fight Valero, which a victory there
would propel him to the top of the rankings (thus bumping Escobedo back
off the ranking).
I like the fact that Escobedo is very active & filling the vacancies is very important, but Hernandez & Kelly aren't good enough opponents imo to qualify for ranking & heaven forbid Kelly wins?

Anyone else got opinions?

Escobedo vs Kelly for the vacant #10 at 135

1 for, 1 against
I vote for that fight being for 10th spot.

On finding a fight for the LHW division, could we see what happens in the Pascal-Diaconu fight? If its a close fight both guys could get in, or if Pascal wins, Diaconu doesn't need to get bumped to 10th.
