    Decent selection for a comeback opponent, but why all the way in May? And will Sanders think that a win over this opponent will be sufficient to warrant him a title shot?

        No, but he is hoping that Wlad will want to avenge his loss, which is what I think he should do. Sanders might be 42 by then so it'll be just a "resume fix" for Wlad, assuming that he wins, of course.

              no he is not, he used to be somewhat decent early in his career.

              for an idea on how serious he takes his training chew on these stats:

              koval weighed 205 to start his career, then weighed about 215 when he was winning fights.... against briggs he weighed in at an asotounding 266lbs

              and he has progressively weighed in higher for every fight in the last 2 years!

              they already released the promotional name for this event

              "Sanders vs. Koval... Who's the sloppier fat ass?"

                What do you guys think about Corrie Sanders' comeback and his upcoming fight with Chris Koval? Pending on how he does with Koval, do you guys think he could have any kind of positive impact on the current division?

                    Short burst of speed and power are enough to dominate Koval. He is tailor made for Sanders.
