Frames it as depending on 'what version' of Poppeck turns up physically before settling on him. Ends by naming Poppeck as the lighter, more skilled man moving up in weight.

Leka holds his usual heavyweight spot here while the other man adds size for the fight. He is painted as the higher-output striker, leaning on an active jab, a fast one-two and a broad kick selection for someone his size. On the mat he rates decent, favoring top pressure and ground work over a real takedown attack. He is cast as the opponent rather than the winner tonight.
