Makwan Amirkhani: "Every other featherweight should be 'scared' of me"

Oh come on! I didn't find his last fight all that exciting, but his top game is so legit and he was getting the TD at will .. Wilkinson just had enough ground defense to nullify his sub attempts.

This. Wilkinson isn't a can and threatened with some submissions of his own, including a Mir lock lol. Makwan is a very talented submission grappler.

Do agree it's time for a step up in opponents. How about Mr Finland vs Pepey?

Im a fan of Amirkhani but Bektic is a completely different type of prospect.

Amirkhani will be a fun fighter who hangs around the top 15 if he reaches his potential.
Bektic will be a top 10 guy at the very least but probably challenge for the title if he keeps improving.

Agreed. Mirsad is a beast and love his back story. Shame he got hurt I can't wait for his return.

Sounds good to me!
