    Bam vs Puma is the fight to make.

    The Estrada rematch isn’t interesting. That fight wasn’t competitive enough to warrant a rematch and it’s not like Gallo is gonna get any better at 34 years old after all the tough fights he’s been in.

    Let Rodriguez and Martinez mix it up for divisional supremacy and you could maybe even put Estrada vs Ioka on the undercard in matchup between two faded former champions who’ll no doubt both make the HOF after they retire.

    Looking foward to it, battle between the unbeaten champions at Super Flyweight.

    Bam having beaten Cuadras, Rungvisai, Edwards and Estrada.

    Martinez having beaten Bornea, Ancajas X2 and Ioka.

    Kosei Tanaka could fight the winner between the two aswell.

      I don't see Estrada do an undercard ever unless for some crazy reason Saudi decides to pay him millions for a non-title fight. And even in that case I can see him chasing a Chocolatito IV before Ioka. Likely that he goes on another vacation until he can score a Bam rematch, or Martinez calls him instead of Bam for some reason.

      As for Ioka, even given the extreme attachment to Estrada that he had, not sure if he will be willing to go on a non-title fight as an undercard in the US. If he doesn't retire then he probably has a better chance to still earn main title bout against Tanaka in Japan.

      Either way I do hope Bam/Martinez/Tanaka and their belts all mingle for first undisputed 115 next year.

          We have truley been spoilt with this era of smaller guys.

          So many great fighters, and great fights.

          Dating back rom Donaire at Bantam, the most devastating Bantamweight I have ever seen, to Chocolaitio, to Rungvasi, to Gallo, Cuadras, now we have Inoue coming though showing special things.

          In all my years, this last 10 or so has probably been the best for those lighter weights.

          Will be missed when it's gone.

            I dunno man, he fought on the undercards of one of those Super Fly cards back in the HBO days. I remember him and Cuadras fought on the undercard of Chocolatito vs Sor Rungvisai II. Ioka also fought Arroyo on an undercard too.

              Estrada will still invoke his rematch unfortunately. Bam vs Puma will have to be next year.

                Yes but that was literally like seven years ago when Estrada was still a single division champion who just came up to a new weightclass and trying to become a two division champion. I mean Inoue fought on that card too...back when he was a two division champion with a single belt.

                Ioka, I'm not sure if he will want to take a non-title fight with Estrada as an undercard over a potential NYE final firecracker title match main event against Tanaka in Japan. Tanaka fights in two weeks but I expect him to win, and he has a personal agenda to settle with Ioka so it will sell in Japan.

                  estrada likes money so he will probably take the rematch even though he was dominated, also im sure hes surrounded by yes men who told him he was winning wilder style

                    Bam should find a way to pay Estrada to wait because it’s in the best interest of the sport and the division.

                    Win or lose the rematch will be there.
