Andrade is on a quick decline.

Not sure how much George has left.

The style match-up is nice.

Neither one deserves a title shot.

I've got George imo. I think Andrade is past it. This fight will be really good though

I get so pissed off when I see these ABC organizations recycling their challengers over and over again.

Andrade has been beaten twice by Bute, so how does he find himself in an eliminator again, when he's only ranked 7 on top of it ? ****en joke.

Everyone else declines a shot at George, who is the next available contender to fight. Back in May, George was really close to fighting Peter Quillin. Originally it was to determine the #1 spot and the terms were all agreed upon and such.

Quillin decided he'd be better off fighting at 160 and felt more comfortable there so the fight didnt happen. Then George was going to go to Argentina to fight some fighter from there but he pulled out.

Andrade was the next available choice.

Donovan George is just a good clubfighter, he's not even on the fringe contender level.

Andrade has faded, but he'll beat George. I guess we'll be seeing Andrade-Bute III.

I see. Still sucks though.
