Nice power play by Showtime, I thought they were going to let HBO swoop in and take the winner of the Super 6 against Bute. The loser of Green-Johnson, Bika, or Mendy will be getting the first shot at Bute in this deal.

If only he had finalized the deal in time to be a part of the Super Six.

Great pick-up for Showtime. At last we get to see Bute against live opponents.
