Can't wait. Out of all the NZ fighters, he has the best chance. Along with JP of course.

I'm hoping Mikhailovich does well, unfortunately I see him getting blitzed in a couple of rounds or taking a beating to a mid to late stoppage.

[diehard]

Yeah, like a lot of Peachy fighters, they get to the line, just struggling to get over it. No disrespect, I love what Peachy has done in NZ.

I think the eliminator that fell through & another fight or 2 around that level would have been beneficial for Mikhailovich.
