133: Pletcher Meets His Match: Micic
The big story at 133 this week is Stevan Micic avenging his CKLV loss to Luke Pletcher from back in December 2017. Though they are evenly matched opponents, Micic leaps up to #2 on the strength of that win and from having better losses than Kaid Brock, Austin DeSanto, and Montorie Bridges.
Elsewhere, Cam Kelly falls out of the top 20 due to his loss to ODU’s Caleb Richardson. Sean Nickell, who has wins over Ali Naser and Rico Montoya, among others, slides into his vacated spot.
