I'm a fan of Bektic. He lost to Darren Elkins, who is underrated and has incredible heart, but bounced back with a win over Godofredo Pepey. So we have a guy coming off a W versus an opponent coming off a loss because Lamas got KTFO by Josh Emmett. But Lamas is a step up in competition for Bektic. Looking forward to this one.
