Solid test for both men. Winner enters the top 10 and will likely get a big name soon after. Jump up in competition for Anderson and the first notable name for Bakole since his loss to Hunter.

Anderson has looked pretty unimpressive against Martin and Merhy recently while Bakole has looked pretty good for 3 years but pretty inactive.

good fight!

Fancy Bakole here but what a fight, praise be His Excellency

Bakole KO.

Intresting fight. Finally Anderson will have to step up.

This is a huge step up. Too big if you ask me, I back bakolie if he is fit.

Damn the Saudis really are matching up the top fighters. First time in forever.

It's definitely the right progression of opposition for Anderson. I do think the rating of Bakole might need to be downgraded a bit now that we know his best scalp (Yoka) isn't as good as we thought. But it's still a fine fight.

We getting some nice fights. Evenly matched too. Contenders fighting each other.. Those that were not even active, are now more active.

His best scalp is Takam, then Yoka or Kuzmin.

Anderson's best scalps are George Arias and Charles Martin.

The matchmaking is like in the UFC, where you can't really say who is supposed to be favored. The Saudis are doing great recently.

I like Bakole for this by KO.
Six months ago I would have said Anderson all day long.
It's a good fight, and both guys have not been anywhere near as busy as they should be.

The hw's as well are waaay more active now.

Any Saudi card now, we can expect some contenders fighting each other..

Nice fight. I think, Anderson gotta win, but it's a 50/50 matchup.
