    Morrell Jr is perfect. If he beats Bivol, Benavidez can stfu with the “he needs to prove himself” excuse for ducking and finally man up

      Why yarde? He has tried twice and lost by ko. New blood, benavidez or Morrell Jr

        ....because Bivol/Yarde fits the theme of the overall event. Politically speaking, that fight will be the way Warren/Yarde will mend whatever issues they're having. Also, Yarde actually campaigns at LHW.

            And that's part of the fvk up. They pushed Morrell Jr and benavidez out of their division to accommodate ginger, and a guy that has been koed twice for the 175 crown is a front runner, according to the UK fans, once again to fight for the belt. Are you guys don't get tired of watching the same guy knocked out over and over again? Would not be better demand for a fresh face?

              I'm not a fan of Yarde or his overall matchmaking, but he would've been an obvious choice for the event. It doesn't matter anyway, because Team Bivol already chose a replacement.
