I actually plumped for Coddrington at the start of the comp but Bika has looked the most dangerous throughout.

What’s the deal? He was my favorite contender and I feel he was unfairly disqualified from the semis because he had a close fight. Which meant it was a good fight. Anyway, when is Paul fighting again?

He marks up a fair bit (as he indeed did against Banks last time out). Banks’ style will always give him problems in my opinion, as hes fast, and tough. Id only seen Banks once pre-Contender and that was aaginst Manfredo, but he seems like a tough lad. Smith should win again though, especially if its over a longer distance.
