Agree entirely with your post - Ortiz hasn't won any world belt yet if I'm not mistaken - pretty sure he wants one - Fundora vs Ortiz would be a decent fight - though I see Fundora losing handily.

I reckon Okolie beats Fisher and Adelaye. Okolie vs Wardley would be a great fight - either Okolie out boxes Warfdey or he gets goomed. Itauma smashes Fisher and Adelaye.
