Gary - one of my 3 favorite fighters...damn, he improved so much from one fight to the next.

Should do this fight and the Brian Norman vs Jin Sasaki fight on the same card, makes sense

There's a decent probability Antuanne Russell, like Norman Jr, will be flying out to Japan for his fight.

Gary and Brian going up against some heavy handed Japanese opponents. Will be interesting to see how they do, especially if they are fighting overseas.

Finally Andy gets a shot at the top. Good fight.
Andy is all around solid - great power, technique, defense.
Co-main with Sasaki x Norman makes sense. Japan is clearly where the money is. But lets see if Russell accepts in time…..
