Both are ducking real competition to face each other. But as a business move, this is 100% makes sense

After this they need to either fight;
David(Bivol, Beterbieve, and Jai) or Zurdo(Jai)

I tried warning yall about this dude. He move so funny.. Thing is -- he's not getting Bivol next. And his team don't want Beterbiev, Smith, Jai
Team Benavidez already reached out to Ben Whittaker
@((ReFleXioN)) EteRNaL talked about this for years about Benavidez
But I started to realize what this weirdo was about when he came up to 175, and playing the same duck games to my favorite fighters Bivol and Beterbiev. Bringing up dumbass sparring stories then ducking them when the opportunity presented itself. And knew he could get away with it because they are Eastern Europeans who barely speak English and not known in the US lol
I heard Jai was unclear if he can still defend the IBF belt while with Zuffa so will be interesting if he gets stripped. If he does I can see Zurdo/Benevidez winner gunning for the WBC belt and the IBF

Jai said he wants to be Undisputed more than anything and will want to unify ASAP
LOL @ this wishful thinking

"Uncertainty" doesn't mean it will certainly happen. You posted this because you HOPE it would happen lol
Not sure why you keep projecting these narratives in this thread on others to prove some point. Nobody gives a shyt about Crusierweight. Relax nikka
Yup he been like this, but more people starting to peep. Interviewed this weekend. He was asked why he chose Zurdo over Beterbiev -- when fans wanted Beterbiev. Benavidez got mad as hell, and rambled off some dumb ass response lol.
Benavidez tryna fight Ben Whittaker, is right on brand. Keep searching for fights you feel safe in
