Someone's 0 has got to go. This should be an incredible fight. Inoue lives by the Japanese blade and just might die by the Japanese blade (Not literally). It would be a fitting way to take his first loss. The Japanese monster slayed by Japanese steel.

Think Nakatani has about the same hand speed and punching power as Cardenas bringing more experience and refined style at the top level, but not the punch resistance to prevail if the fight goes down the stretch. And will bring problems to Inoue, based on styles. As his recent opponent brought different qualities in his first match at the division.

Nakatani knows to pick his punches well at midrange and has the most significant reach advantage at the division even if not everything has translated to the same pedigree, likely won't from now on. Wouldn't be shocked if either got dropped early in the fight, but think they be even at the start, but Inoue has too much experience and punching power.

Huh!? Nakatani is one of the best fighters in and around the weight class, what are you talking about.

Just because you're ignorant of the weight divisions doesn't mean he's unheard of.

Manlet fighters just generally don't become big stars it doesn't mean those wee men aren't high quality fighters.
