3. Zain Retherford is going to be GREAT at 149.
Maybe that’s not a revelation for all of you, and it certainly isn’t to me, but I thought he looked great once again at 66. Willie and I have gone back and forth on this on FRL. He thinks Zain is too small for 149. I strongly disagree. Aaron Pico himself said he’s one of the strongest guys he’s ever wrestled in his life. That’s high praise from Pico who has been snapping World Champs on their face for awhile now. He was good at 141, but now his physique is much more developed. I know Tsirtsis got the win a few years back, but if you don’t think Zain is a different animal now, I don’t know what to tell ya. I think he may be the favorite going in.
