WTF how can Shawn porter be fighting this fool for the nabo belt when the belt holder in that division currently is vanes martirosyan??? Can someone lease explain how this works??? Doesn't he have to fight champion who has the belt if he wants the title or is the nabo gonna have two champs???

Martirosyan vs Porter would be a good match up imo.
