Pirog is anywhere from 5'11-6'1, has been out of the ring for four years, started his hiatus as a 32-year old MW, and would be coming back to the ring at the age of 35.

There's no way he comes back at 160. How long it takes him will likely be based on how fit he kept when away from the sport, but he's likely going to fight as low as 168.

Jacobs would knock him out in a rematch.

He retired due to chronic back injuries. He tried training before and they flared up again. I doubt they're fixed. Also doubt he kept in crazy shape considering he couldn't do much with the injuries.

The type of back injuries he's suffered are pretty serious and I doubt he'll be able to stay healthy for long if he does actually get through his first training camp. Pirog uses a lot of movement, especially upper body so I just don't know if his back can handle it. I'm hoping because he was so fun and interesting to watch but I'm not going to get my hopes up, been down that road a few times with Pirog already.

Should change his nickname from Grandmaster to The Grandfather. He is going to come back as an old 35 year old due to inactivity.
