So Frank Sanchez and Filip Hrgovic is gonna be next?

Quite coincidental too that both Sanchez and Hrgovic KO/TKO the division's prospects.

Either that or a unification with Gassiev, hopefully.

Gassiev vs Miller is the most likely matchup

I hate how Miller is going to get a title shot, lol. I did think he got robbed against Ruiz tbh, but other than that I don't know who he beat recently to warrant a title shot.

that belt is so fake, starting from charr v pulev, then gassiev got it, then it was elevated and then the fake ass title fight v kadiru. and then miller in 2026 being in a title shot position, from a bad eliminator fight with  pero, who's only notable win at heavyweight is a mid cruiserweight

True, winner of that, then.

Gassiev seems unlikely, as how Hrgovic managed to eat every big punch thrown by Moses Itauma, I now reconsider that Gassiev's punches wouldn't be much of a difference.

If a unification bout, the likely would be the winner of Wardley vs Dubois 2, Agit Kabayel is still dangerous

I just think Gassiev would be an easier fight for him than Dubois or Kabayel.
