I thought Briedis have announced his movement to heavyweight? So what happened?

Could it be he's not getting looks/calls at guys from heavyweight or what?

Mann is ordinary. Zero significant wins and kayo loss to Lerena. Another example of the best not fighting the best. Why couldn't Lerena be getting this shot? Not that Briedis has ducked anyone, far from it. But this is just a keep busy fight that interests nobody.

Considering how long Briedis has been out, i'm cool with this. Put them in too deep and you've got an ex champion on your hands. Hopefully after he's shed the rust he'll fight a real one. Fingers crossed it's a unification against Okolie.
