Of all the African born fighters who adopted/migrated to western countries as their new nation/ homeland, Sodiq is the most humble, polite, nice, civil, chilled and respectful fighter. Prop to him.

Let's go Sodiq. I feel that recency bias is affecting a lot of folks in here. He'll win this.

James Lynch gets the most respect out of all reporters

Lopes may be the odds favourite but he's the dog in this fight. I'm taking Diego all day. Diego will fight for your money, he will always bring the heat.
