Usually when a fighter switches weight its a good idea to have a tuneup fight, feel out the situation see how his endurance and strength are affected, etc... In this case, Diego is basically bypassing the enitre division and fighting the #3 guy at 155. If he beats Joe he cant fight someone like Tyson Girffin, hes gotta fight Sherk, Kenny or BJ (whoever doesnt have the belt) then if he wins that fight its a title shot next for sure. I like Diego and i would love to see Diego vs Kenny 2 but it a bit unfair to all the other guys trying to work their way up for him to leapfrog ahead of them like that.

I like both these guys so its kind of a no win situation but its gonna be a hell of a scrap, oh yes, there will be blood. Probably the biggest unknown is how Diego will perform at 155, from what ive read he has dropped 38 lbs since December to get ready for his move to LW. I can see either guy winning this fight at any time by any method, but theyre both so tough it will probably go the distance. I still havent made my picks, but they have Joe Daddy as a BIG underdog on the playground, thats pushing me to lean towards Joe in this fight because i think its very close to even. But again, it will all depend on how Diego performs after cutting this much weight for the first time.
