Heck of a Morning | Building UFC 300, Tom Aspinall Calls For Jon Jones Fight | MMA Fighting



#UFC300 will be here before we know it, and everyone seems to have an idea of what the historic #UFC pay-per-view event should look like.

On a special LIVE video edition of Heck of a Morning (in the afternoon), MMA Fighting’s Mike Heck takes your UFC 300 fight card suggestions. Additionally, he’ll answer your questions about anything and everything as it relates to the crazy world of #MMA, interim champ Tom Aspinall tweeting his thoughts about Stipe Miocic getting a title shot vs. Jon Jones over him, whether or not Nick Diaz should return at UFC 300, and more.

W All right everybody it is Friday January 5th 2024 and it is indeed a heck of a morning or should I say heck of an afternoon wherever you guys are watching and or listening thank you for joining us we’re live on YouTube for the first time you can also hear the show in its

Entirety shortly thereafter on the ma fighting podcasting Network what’s going on everybody I am Mike Heck thought we would try this out a little bit we have like I said earlier we have not done this Live on YouTube it’s mostly been on Twitter but no UFC this weekend not a

Ton going on so we figured you know what let’s try it let’s see what we can do let’s see if people dig it I know a lot of people people have been reaching out saying when are you going to do it live on YouTube so this will be the test so

If you want this to be a regular thing let us know tell your friends have them hop on and if the numbers are good then we’re thinking about maybe adding this to sort of like the pay-per-view week schedule maybe leading into the weigh-in shows so it’s all up to you so I figur

We’d give this a shot and and see how this all works out so I appreciate you all checking the show out a little bit later than normal 1 p.m. eastern time normally we go around 10:00 a.m. eastern time but this is what we do so lot going

On we’re going to answer your questions so if you have topics that you want to discuss just throw them all in the chat there have just been so much chatter so many questions so many thoughts about UFC 300 I feel like that is taken over the landscape right now what’s going to

Be the main event because for a while we thought it was going to be Conor McGregor versus Michael Chandler we saw the first three pay-per-views M have their main events announced we got Strickland versus DDP coming up in about 15 days from right now at 297 we get

Volkanovski Toria and then we have Shaun Ali versus Cheeto vera for UFC 299 so we figured once those fights were all made it’s got to be Connor versus Chandler right Conor McGregor comes out and says Nope June 29th International fight week that’s when this fight is happening Chandler has pretty much mimicked those

Exact same sentiments and now we’re wondering what are we going to do what is going to be in that spot there have been conversations I know people have been reporting Leon Edwards Leon even said it himself that Lon is hoping to fight on that card he thinks he’s going

To fight on that card favorite is balah Muhammad as the opponent which it should be the guy has done everything he’s really needed to do to earn a title shot but is that UFC 300 Main Event Worthy my opinion no but it is the number right it’s like WrestleMania for me I don’t

Care what’s on WrestleMania I’m watching it and I feel like maybe there’s a part of the UFC that thinks that this is sort of like WrestleMania oh there’s a number 300 attached to it we could just throw on a bunch of fights doesn’t really matter what the main events is going to

Be people are just going to watch it anyways I think you’re playing with some fire there Leon balal is is a good fight it’s a highle martial arts fight is it the Banger you would expect at UFC 300 probably not so will that take place on the card seems like that’s the direction

They’re heading is that going to be the main event don’t really know but what is going to be the main event so pretty much we’ve been trying to just lay out what this UFC 300 card is going to look like and honestly I have no idea what

It’s going to look like and nor do a lot of people this is sort of the fight island of events you can picture it you can close your eyes imagine what it might all look like and maybe this will be the magical let’s put an octagon in

The island that we expected fight Island to be and not man we’re just going back to Abu Dhabi like we’ve done before and just doing the same thing over again who knows so is it going to be Leon balal I don’t know is it going to be something

Else not really sure A lot of people think maybe they’ll do the Alex Pereira Israel osna Trilogy fight for the light heavyweight title on that card at this point it’s all up in the air we only have three fights announced right now Alaine Sterling versus Calvin Kar we got

Yuri Braska versus Alexander rakic you have Bo nickel versus Cody Brundage Dana White has said in a couple of IG lives over the last couple days he’s going to announce more fights on Tuesday something tells me the main event is still not going to be announced by then

So I guess we could kind of just really lay out what you think UFC 300 should be so yesterday we were on BTL and we were just kind of willy-nilly putting things together my thought this is kind of what I would do if we can’t do Pereira versus [ __ ] as the main event

Do because it doesn’t appear like Isel mak’s gonna be able to fight at UFC 300 there’s Ramadan he’s a man of princible so if he’s going to do the Ramadan thing which he will he probably won’t fight on that card but he has said I want to

Fight in March Justin gatei has talked about March my thought was if we can’t do prayer out of on 3 why don’t we do makf gaii at 299 let’s move Ali Cheeto to UFC 300 we could put that fight in the main event spot we could still do

Leon versus balal and maybe we throw Tom Aspen Hol in there against somebody else like Tom asol versus Derrick Lewis just to keep this guy busy do the interim title thing if Tom wins probably does it emphatically and very quickly builds his star power up a little bit more and if

Derrick Lewis wins it’s just funny and then we just sort of load up with just fun fights beyond that will they do like a Jorge mazol Ben asrin type of thing I honestly don’t think mazal is gonna fight in MMA I don’t think when he says he’s unretired that he’s coming back to

The UFC to fight I do think he’s probably gonna box against who I’m not really sure we could probably rule Nate Diaz out dapore has pretty much done as much himself so I think this just going to be a weird sort of build and a weird sort

Of lineup but what is going to be on the top of it so let’s see what you all have to say here let’s get into this thing A lot of people are excited that we’re on YouTube so that’s great keep Mike on YouTube uh have you

Heard jus’ thoughts on Sean Theo Von no I have not uh who will be screening the questions me just like I would do in general uh if there’s one element of the UFC product production you could make 2024 feel different what would you change could be walkouts press conference is

Something smaller whatever I just think you have to have more fun the UFC we joke around all the time saying that UFC doesn’t stand for Ultimate Fighting Championship it stands for unfund Championship they’re just it’s just a wheel that keeps on spinning and it’s just goes in the same motion and there’s

No fun and no changes it’s just all vanilla in a lot of ways and then when something cool happens we’re like yeah this is awesome case in point the whole Robbie Lawler thing Robbie Lawler comes out knocks out Nico price he retires they do this whole thing this whole send

Off we’re like yes this is what we know you are capable of doing we love when they do that we love when they do fun things it just doesn’t happen all that often so I I would say allow the fighters to share a little bit more of their personalities walkouts could be

More fun there’s lots of things we could do make the posters more fun just be more fun just do fun stuff and I think all that will tie into the production will tie into a lot of the stuff as far as like the broadcast teams go I mean

It’s it’s a spoil they’re spoiled when it comes to who they have on the microphone I know not everyone loves Dominick Cruz I not know not everyone loves Michael bisbing but John anic is one of the best play byplay guys in all of sports I’ll actually be talking to

Him on Tuesday to get you all ready for 297 Brenan Fitzgerald’s done a great job John Gooden is maybe the most underrated broadcaster like on that entire roster right now Lura sano’s great Paul felder’s great the list goes out DC Joe Rogan I mean they’re fixtures at this

Point so I wouldn’t change like a ton in that aspect but let’s just have more fun let’s just have a little bit more fun and I think more fun it will just show it I think people react to it better uh Matt Mike what do you think about Henry

Cejudo essentially saying champ should shut up and fight not speak on feelings I.E vul Sean on the theop Pod I mean look we I think we I think we all know what Henry’s trying to do Henry’s got a YouTube channel he wants to get views so I think he

Takes and and I’m not blaming him for this because I know a lot of other people do this it’s how you get your channel over it’s how you get it to grow take the hot story of the day you provide some takes and if you’re a fighter and you’re trying to get

Headlines while you’re not actually fighting I know he’s got a fight essentially on the books right now but if you want to grow your platform you take a topic that everybody’s already talking about and then you put it your own spin on it and you’re hopeful that

Sites like ours sites like ESPN Etc will take what you say and write it up because they’re going to basically put it right towards your YouTube channel so I think that’s kind of what what Henry’s been doing and I kind of feel the same way about this

One I don’t really have an opinion on it I think you all know kind of how I feel about Henry cejudo at this point uh I’m glad he’s he did actually fight last year I’m glad he’s fighting Mor Rob Wes willly I’m super interested in that fight curious to see how it goes

But I’m curious to see where Henry goes if he loses this fight because man that’s a tough one that’s a tough one for him Joseph could UFC 300 be great with multiple title fights I know some people think Connor should headline that card if he does could the undercard for

300 be a good card with no Champions defending I look could the UFC come back out and say listen we heard the people we heard what you had to say Connor must headline UFC 300 it’s our 10 pole event of the year we got to stack this thing

Up let’s put our big our biggest star on it could they do that sure do I think they will no we’ve been kind of talking about this for the last seven or eight months talking about UFC 300 is it going to be Connor or will the UFC play with fire

Like they typically do and when they do play with fire it somehow always works out for them right it has seemed to work out look at what they did with the middleweight division last year Izzy Pereira have the rematch Izzy gets the knock out of the year the trilogy is

Right there it’s right there for us Dana shows up at the press conference and says now I think PR’s going to 205 a week later perer says yeah I’m going to 205 then we have a new rivalry for Izzy with DDP and we’re like all right now we

Can just do Izzy versus DDP n we’re going to book DDP in a fight with Rober Whitaker and everyone’s like why why are we doing this just throw DDP in there now he’s going to lose to Rob Whitaker we might get Whitaker versus osani again

And then DDP wins and we’re like yes now we’re gonna get it it all worked out but then DDP couldn’t turn around quick enough and you know we’ll just we have to have a Z fight on this card so let’s just throw him in there with Shan

Strickland let’s just throw him in there with Shawn there’s no way he can lose Sean Strickland and then sea just beats up Israel out of Sonia for 25 minutes and now he’s the middleweight champion of the world now he’s on the other end of this rival with DDP instead of Izzy

It still worked out because Shawn has gotten over and now he’s got another big fight on the horizon in the next 15 days or so but you played with fire and there’s only so many times you could play with fire we we’ve been around Conor McGregor

For so long at this point if Connor says I want to do this at this time right now he might agree with it who knows tomorrow he could go on Twitter and be like nah thanks for the cheese again I’m retiring unless you put me on the 300

Card having said that they’re still putting him on the main they’re still putting him on International fight week they’re still putting him on a big card yeah we have to wait a little bit longer but now the UFC believes they can get two big bites of the Apple a couple of

Big pay-per-view buys you know McGregor’s doing a million 300 will do close to a million depending on what the card looks like so I do think this is going to be a multiple title fight card I do think we’ll get Leon Bal I don’t know if it’s

Going to be the main event I kind of hope it isn’t kind of hope it’s the co-main event and then what do you do with the other title fights not really sure like I like I said before I like the Isel makf Justin gaii fight happening in March do that let’s move Al

Cheeto to 300 Sean’s one of your guys that you’re trying to really build up I think him getting the 300 rub would be a really smart decision by the UFC to get him over a little bit more especially if he’s not the pay-per-view draw that many

Believe he could be if you heard what Al Jamaine Sterling’s been saying lately so I don’t know what they’re going to do I know Ariel’s talked about the UFC maybe pulling a rabbit out of their hat what that rabbit is I have no idea could it

Be a name from the past sure could it be a fight that we wanted long ago that we never got perhaps I don’t know it’s all just looking kind of weird right now uh how will the UFC handle Ali getting ko’ed by ver and spin that

Narrative I mean I don’t I don’t think they really need to spin anything they could just say look Sean’s really young he’ll come back he came back from the first remember the a lot of a lot of fans don’t they know that Marlon Vera

Beat sha Ali but a lot of fans are newer they came in during the pandemic and they missed all of that they missed the or some people missed the OM Al Cheeto fight and and how how that all played out and the followed of all of that uh

Some people came in a little bit later in the game he Sean bounced right back I mean they gave him the right matchups and then he goes in there and has the fight with P Yan whether you thought he won or not he formed his ass off fought great

And then he goes and wins the belt so if he loses to Cheeto like the way the UFC probably looks at it is all right well Cheeto is really is a good fighter he’s just a really tough Batcher for Shawn we just need to find somebody to

Take the belt off of Cheeto and then we could throw Shawn right back in there so I don’t think they’ll really try to spin anything I just think you just have to play it out a little bit more give him uh give Sean a matchup you probably think he can

Win and then get him right back in there uh Francis rematches Fury and beats him does Dana get forced by Dizzy to cross-promote the Jones versus inano super fight no probably not I don’t think Dana is going to be forced to do anything you have to remember this TV

Deal is coming up end of 2025 I don’t really think ESPN is going to be in a position to be like hey do this now you have to do it no I think ESPN is going to want to stay on the the UFC’s good side to at least be part of

This massive TV deal I mean this I don’t I don’t know if people actually understand how lucrative this TV deal is going to be when it comes up it’s going to be massive there’s already like Wall Street experts and like television distribution experts out there that are saying I mean

You think the deal they have right now is big wait till you see the amount of money they’re going to get for this next one now they’re tied in the same promotion in that’s in the same family as WWE who I mean we just saw some of

The deals they’re signing we saw some of the deals they’re signing with for NXT and for SmackDown and Raw like I mean geez so much money just so much money so and I think ESPN wants to stay in the UFC business yes I know they have pfl as

Part of the portfolio as well but I think this is more of just this is just a smart move by ESPN to stay because you I think we all view pfl the same that Don Davis is just saying a bunch of stuff this whole co-leader thing I don’t

Think any us really believe it but ESPN’s probably buying super low on pfl right now and for some reason if Don Davis is correct and they become an actual threat to the UFC and become the quote unquote co-leader that they bought super low on it and got a huge return on

Their investment I don’t think I just think it’s a smart move now does this mean that they’re going to be partying waves with the UFC I highly doubt it I think they’re going to want to stay in the UFC business as long as they financially are viable to do so

But yeah that’s we’re at here uh I assume we’re talking about 3300 fights uh are any of those main card they haven’t said I’d say maybe Yuri rackit could be but it wouldn’t shock me if neither of those fights are on the main card who will get a light heavyweight

Title shot first Israel adna Jamal Hill or the winner of ankle Walker man that’s a good question it’s a good question I want to man [ __ ] is the wild card here I don’t think ankali Walker is the answer I do because I think an’s gonna beat Johnny Walker and I think the UFC

Is going to avoid ankalia fighting for the belt as long as they possibly can I’ll say Jamal Hill but who knows like they could do Alex versus isia 300 for the light heavyweight title that wouldn’t shock me but other than that it’s probably Jamal Hill as of right now now Johnny Walker

Goes out and obliterates maged an Goliath that could change things but yeah uh Diaz versus mozell too I don’t think we’re going to see that in MMA I talked about this on the show yesterday and I have no insight to this whatsoever so I’m gonna I’m going to

Choose my words very very carefully here I literally have no insight to this whatsoever I have not talked to anybody in the no about any of this my hunch in my guess and this is all opinion this is all what I think could happen without so

I don’t want people be like oh Mike Heck say this I think mazal is gonna box I don’t think the UFC is going to let him go to bkfc and fight Mike Perry I don’t think they’re going to let him do bare knuckle MMA I don’t think they’re

Going to let him do MMA at all but if they do another game breed boxing card which I’m hearing they’re going to do and when they do these game breed boxing cards they are chalk full of big names my hunch is we’re going to see this fight in boxing

If I’m Nate why not go in there take this fight make a whole bunch of money thing’s going to sell like it really is going to sell people are going to buy mazal Diaz in a boxing match and as I’ve been saying for a while I said it during

The break I there’s not a lot of things that the UFC could announce like I will react to some of these 300 announcements and if this rabbit out of the Hat contains like names we haven’t seen in a while be like oh yeah that’s that’s freaking crazy or that’s cool there’s

Not a lot that will actually totally shock me at this point but as I’ve said on Twitter a few times Nate Diaz fighting at UFC 300 would legitimately shock me I would be shocked if that happened just knowing the landscape he’s been trying for all this time to escape

The UFC to get out of that contract and see what else is out there for him it’s been what just over a year now since he’s done that he boxed Jake Paul I was at that fight there was not an empty seat in that building at all he made a

Whole shitload of money fighting Jake Paul I think he knows that he can make that much money or more than he made with the UFC doing any sort of discipline fighting anybody at all so there’s a lot of green grass for for Nate Diaz in multiple ways if we’re being honest

But I don’t think that fight’s happening at 300 could they box could we see a boxing match between those two guys again no Insight but wouldn’t shock me wouldn’t shock me uh do uh what is it about the heavyweight division that the UFC often finds itself at odds with his champions

From Tommy aspadol now to Champs like Francis and Randy in the past I don’t I don’t know if they’re at odds with Tom Aspen I think we all agreed when they made the aspadol pavlovich interim title fight that it was super dumb like we’re just throwing titles on fights for no reason

Um yeah so I don’t think he’s really at odds there and plus like for a long time when you think of heavyweight champion of the world you think baddest man on the planet for a long time heavyweight champion was obvious the biggest draw it’s not really really like that anymore

But Jon Jones is the champion and for a guy like Tom Aspen who is the interim Champion the guy that everybody wants to see fight Jon right now not Stipe nobody wants to see Jon Jones fight Stipe so Tom goes on that Twitter rant yesterday and you know

What I’m with everything he said he’s not wrong there’s not one thing he said that was wrong not one not one he should be fighting Jon Jones that should be the fight that’s the one everybody wants to see the appetite for Jon Jones versus stpe is like none right now I have zero

Interest in that fight you could still do it fine like if you want to do that fight fine if it’s gonna be Jon’s final fight fine if it’s gonna be st’s final fight fine do it but take the belt off John him and stee could just fight each

Other and then Tom could be the actual champion and he can go fight somebody else so I get exactly where he’s coming from I don’t think there there’s like a divide I don’t think aspadol in the UFC are at odds right now but if you’re Tom aspadol he’s doing exactly what he

Should be doing he should be calling for the Jon Jones fight that’s the one that’s the fight uh excited to fight for mazal to fight Leon at 300 not for the tile for a bench’s bad blood fight again I don’t think it happens but I think it would look and I don’t

Want this to seem like oh you’re just [ __ ] on BL Muhammad it is unequivocal even with maz’s current losing streak right now that Leon Edwards versus Jorge mazal does infinitely better gate and pay-per-view wise than Lon versus Bal and it’s not even this is not even a conversation but again I’d be

Shocked if mazad doll’s next fight is in MMA or even at UFC 300 what else we got uh what does it mean of McGregor Beach Chandler what does that landscape look like love the show keep it going every P week oh God I think we all know what the

Landscape looks like if if Conor beats Michael Chandler it’s whatever the man wants if he wants to go fight for the belt then he’s gonna go fight for the belt um yeah he’s going to fight for some sort of belt if he beats Michael Chandler that

Is it’s pretty smart bet I would guess it’s l literally whatever he wants if he wants to go fight pory again he can fight pory again if he can learn eight back he’ll learn eight back uh balal is Ramadan too yes but Bal fight has fought during Ramadan before and I think he

Would if if it’s for the belt I think he would he would fight for the belt I think Bal understands the position he’s in if they call and say hey this is your chance you could fight at UFC 300 for the title I don’t Bal can’t say no he cannot say no otherwise

He’s not get into the title shot he’s goingon to lose it to sha cot or he’s gonna have to fight sha cot whatever whatever date is sent bal’s way he cannot say no to it so yeah I don’t think ramadan’s going to affect him at all uh I don’t care who headlines 300

But I want something special like the return of a Lesnar Rousey or a Diaz Lesnar versus DC would be super fun like if they could pull that off I hashtag would watch Rousey I think would be interesting because I think if she approaches this the right way then her Legacy looks a lot

Different and I think people look at her differently because the way it ended was just was just really bad it was really bad the whole buildup to the home fight her just getting ethered by Holly just being really super negative about it and being just a bad loser in

The situation and then returning to fight Amanda Nunes when and there were other worthy contenders I mean there’s an opportunity to get Amanda over a little bit but just no media no nothing I mean she just looked pouty and it was just bad like all of it and then she was just

Quiet and then just Auto you know shows up at the Royal Rumble and signs a WWE contract you know Rhonda’s a mom now and she’s she’s grown up she’s learned a little bit more how to become a star and carry her herself like a star and I think she understands more and

More now that you know there’s a lot that comes with that you are you’re a role model you’re looked up to and maybe her relationship with MMA and the MMA media and however she looks at this sport a little contentious but I think it would

Be good for R to come back and and do the damn thing and I know it might get some eye rolls because people just hear sort of the negative stories about how her run ended but she comes back and like handles it all well with smile on

Her face look I want to show my daughters I want to show my children I want to show all the young kids out there that you know when the chips are down you can never say never you could always turn turn things around you could always turn your legacy around and then

If she goes in there win or lose and just has a good attitude about it and then puts her opponent over in a loss and walks away I think people look at her lot differently so I think it would be pretty cool if we could get Ronda

Back and I don’t think the newer crop of fans understand how big of a star Ronda Rousey was I mean she’s one of the most she’s one of the four or five most important people in the history of the sport like that’s how big she

Was there may we we may not have women fight women MMA in the UFC at all if there was no Ronda Rousey so that’d be pretty cool they could pull that off Diaz I don’t think we’re going to get Nate yeah we’re not gonna get Nate could we get Nick maybe

But what’s the appetite to see Nick fight I don’t know let’s see I think Chandler beats Islam wow dude is strong hits like a truck can wrestle his butt off ISM already showed small guys giv problems Chandler’s could be a big problem be an interesting matchup but I don’t know I

Wouldn’t pick Chan to win that fight excited for Bal to not get the title fight after Liam uh you really want to see this uh this Leon mazol fight what fight will headline the Saudi Arabia card surely they need something good with cash being shelled out now I don’t know it’s a great

Question could that be the spot they put Islam versus gaii wouldn’t shock me but honestly I have no idea I I mean I’m I don’t even like I’m trying to think what’s even been announced for that card let’s pull it up real quick let’s do this together shall

We March 2nd uh Eric Anders versus Jamie picket and Alex Perez muhamad Mia those are the only two fights announced for that card right now it’s tough It’s pretty tough we need to build that thing up could we get a title fight wouldn’t surprise me it would

Probably have to be Islam if they’re going to go that route if Islam wants to fight on that card they’re going to put him on it uh the longer you make Islam waight the lower the chances are that he fights in Abu Dhabi which is where you would want him anyway

So there you go uh maybe Dom Cruz could fight a UFC 300 maybe he could maybe he could who would he fight that’s the question what else we got who cares what’s so who do I say uh Brian Stan and Jimmy Smith are better than most of the mik yes two very

Underrated broadcasters Brian Stan was incredible uh Scott I’d rather see uh benois sanon Dustin porier UFC 300 but what about porier versus Felder would that work sure sure you could do Jim Miller versus Paul Felder there’s a lot of ways you can go with this people kep people keep forgetting

About Paul Felder in this in these discussions Mighty Mouse or Henry cejudo YouTube channel which one are you taking I like Mighty Mouse uh not a hot take but seem Dana cares more about the event at the spear than UFC 300 I mean it seemed like that’s that’s what he was like last

Year I mean when when Dana was asked about UFC 300 at all during 2023 he became Bill b yeah I’m only thinking about UFC Vega 79 oh I’m only thinking about what goes on this Saturday I’m only thinking about next Saturday I’m only thinking about my power slap event on

Rumble tune in Thursday nights said blah blah blah so but yeah the spear he’s all over that uh Matt do you think star power in the UFC overall is dying and is the UFC starting to rely on the established value of the brand over the quality of

Shows there’s been a large turnover of talent yeah they’ve been they’ve been doing that since they signed this deal with ESPN they just they’re just obligated to put on cards and there’s a reason we’re still going to the Apex 17 18 times a year they just got to put something

Together that is put on the ESPN family of broadcast networks whether it’s Plus or you know one of the other networks you just got to put something out there so yeah card quality has suffered tremendously there’s just too many fight cards there’s just too many it’s too many in my

Opinion so yeah and they have not been great at building Stars they’re they’re close on a couple of people they’re close on a couple they’re close on Pereira I think they’re close obviously close on om Ali Cheeto I think is right there as well they have

Like four or five six Fighters that are real close that could get there but it’s gonna take a lot it’s going to take a lot uh what’s one fight you’re looking forward to the most in 2024 give us something spicy I don’t think this is really spicy but uh the rematch the

Rematch we’ve all been waiting for the rematch for the UFC but this time it’ll be for the UFC lightweight title Islam makf versus not Charles Oliva versus Arman suu baby that’s what I want to see that’s what I want to see all versus Draymond Green UFC 300 there you

Go let’s see Alex with the guaranteed money in the ESPN deal could it be that the UFC just doesn’t care as much about putting on huge shows anymore at the bottom exactly they don’t they’re wiping tears away with thousand bills I don’t give a [ __ ] um yeah hey Mike thanks for doing the

YouTube live max Holly and Ply’s itching for a fight shouldn’t the UFC get him on 300 I mean yeah yeah put Max on 300 put Max anywhere I don’t care I know Josh EMT called for that fight fine do you do Max porier again I mean

Is anyone going to be mad about that I threw out Max versus Jim Miller a long time ago like move Max up to 55 just hav him fight Jim Miller at 300 like is anyone gonna be mad about that I think I said that like a year and a half

Ago I’m just trying to look at like the landscape at featherweight I mean who would he fight like kar’s already fighting Sterling like Holloway Sterling would have been a pretty good 300 fight IL is fighting for the belt yayer is fighting Ortega in Mexico City EMT wants the fight

Allen’s fighting avlo oflo is fighting Allen gig is hurt Bryce Mitchell just got brutally knocked out Edson Barbosa Max hallway that’d be pretty fraking fun I mean I don’t hate that at all throw that on there I’m in Misha versus Rousey happening wouldn’t hate it thoughts on zat making

A return of 300 be stunned that’d be one of the shocking ones jeds it’s not like UFC 300 sneaks up on you as the quote of the year he’s TR it’s he’s not wrong he’s absolutely not wrong Ferguson khabib at 300 gez can you imagine that maybe Cruz Aldo for UFC 300

Seems like Aldo’s happy boxing now there’s a lot of questions here does Alo go back to 135 after he gets destroyed by Calvin Kar wow that’s destroyed is quite the quite the word I like the fight like I was saying I even said on on to the next one after Sterling lost

To a Ali like he should go all in on max and I think he tried to do that but it was too late it was too late because he kept saying oh give me the rematch of Sean when everybody knew there was zero chance he was getting that fight and

There’s zero chance he will ever get the chance to fight sha Ali again unless Alain wins the featherweight title that’s the only chance he will ever ever have to fight sha Ali again sha ain’t gonna fight him unless it’s for that second title so yes will he go back to 35 probably

Not I like this fight though I really do kar’s kar’s G be a tough one for him man I really like the matchmaking I think if you’re not going to do Hall this is the right fight I like it uh Dana wants the winner of Strickland DDP to fight Izzy at 300

That’ll be the main event again you’re playing with fire you’re playing with fire like what if Strickland DDP have a 25-minute War who’s more likely to turn around in two and a half months it’s Strickland it’s not DDP I mean DDP wiped the floor with Robert Whitaker just ran him over and

Couldn’t turn around to fight Izzy you really want to play with fire like that again I don’t know I think again you’re you’re you’re taking a a lot of risks here taking a lot of risks is there a realistic fight you could hype for UFC 300 right now I’m

Struggling to think of one I mean we’ll find out more I I at this point I really don’t know I would like to see you know it be if we’re gonna build this card I like what we did on BTL yesterday makach gatei is the new 299

Main Event the new 300 Main Event or the 3 our main event is sha Ali versus Marlon Vera 2 we cap off that rivalry we pay that [ __ ] off co-main event Tom aspadol versus Derrick Lewis for the interim heavyweight title because that’s just G to be fun as

Hell Leon versus Bal on the card is the featured fight is the second fight on the main card Allah Jose Aldo Frankie Edgar from UFC 200 not really sure I would do Armen cukan versus Charles Oliva UFC 300 that would be my main main card opener that’s how I’m

Opening up the main card and then the featured fight so I do cian Ola I would do Edwards balal the third fight would be whatever rabbit is out of their hat so if it’s GNA be Brock DC or not that I think mazal is going to fight in MMA for his next fight

Asaran mazal too like something whatever big name that you have this rabbit that they’re playing out of the Hat that’s the featured boat we go into Tom aspall Derrick Lewis which is just going to be fun and then we go into Cheeto versus Vera or uh excuse me Suga versus Cheeto

In the main event like that’s fun that’s a fun main card right there and then you still have those other fights and whatever else we’re going to get too probably gonna get Felder we’ll get Jim Miller those are prelim Fighters but no disrespect I mean freaking Alaine Sterling is going to be

A prelim fighter more than likely on this card so I like that that lineup right there it’s pretty damn good mazal is gonna box shakee Paul I don’t think so I don’t think so what else we got what else we got will one go under this year it’s not looking

Good it’s not looking good is Nick Diaz the rabbit in the Hat I don’t know like tell me do you want to see Nick Diaz fight do you I’m not saying like I’m not asking this to be a a prick I’m asking honestly this is I mean this is your

Show we’re answering your questions we’re getting your thoughts especially on Fridays we turn this all over to you guys do you want to see you know what what let’s get crazy here let’s get crazy you know what I’m going to B AK I’m B AK I’m going to put

Up a poll I’m GNA do the poll thing boom do you want to see Nick Diaz fight at UFC 300 boom there you go pulls up you let me know do you want to see Nick Diaz fight a UFC 300 and if so like who’s he going to

Fight do we do the Tony Ferguson fight do we do who like who does Nick Diaz fight someone suggested yesterday that they do Nick Diaz versus Anderson Silva we do the rematch does anybody want to see that again does anybody want to see that again uh no RDA at 300 yes he’s already

Booked so far not going well for the Nick Diaz fans haven’t you guys noticed that boxing slowly moving towards best versus best while UFC is moving towards path boxing was on for the last 10 years the weird decision mismatches Kobe Tyler shot Etc guys UFC has been doing this

For forever they’ve been doing this forever this is not new this is not new where the the bigger name gets the fight it’s not new it’s not new case in point Michael bisbing beats Luke rockold become the middleweight champion of the world who’s his first title defense against who does he defend

The title against first is it Robert Waker was it Yoo Romero no he fought Dan Henderson he fought Dan Henderson and then he fought George jier they’ve been doing this forever this is not new this is not new it’s about making money that’s why they’re

Able to sell the company in 2016 for $4 billion that’s why they use khabib nagam off as a pawn so that Eddie Alvarez and Conor McGregor would fight each other at UFC 205 like they’ve been doing this forever forever so far the the Nick Diaz poll uh

Not going well do you want to see Nick Diaz fight a UFC 300 right now 76% say no what else we got what else we got we literally just had pound for pound one versus two which is true we had it twice we did it twice last

Year I hope we don’t see these champ versus champ fights at all next this year I hope we go the full I hope we go the whole year without a champ versus champ fight I don’t think we’re going to get that lucky but I would love to see that

Happen Leon minus 400 versus BL I don’t no there’s no chance there’s no chance I hope Leon pokes B in the eye again no contest and BL to four more top 10 guys golly that’s funny uh didn’t Bo nickols say he would retire if he’s ever added on the prelims

And now he’s on the early prelims at 300 he’s gonna retire no no bo will just be happy to be on this card I think he’s I think he’s kind of changed his thoughts on a lot of things Ronda win last two minutes in any fight I don’t know

I don’t know if that’s true honestly look at the division she’s fighting in Amanda’s not there anymore now M well Myro Bueno Silva be kind of a tough one for her yeah that’d be a tough one but if if they book Juliana Peña versus Ronda Rousey right now like if they

Booked that for UFC 300 for like the baddest baddest woman on the planet title they just put would you you would confidently go to the betting window and place thousands of dollars on Juliana pñ you wouldn’t think about Ronda against Peña you wouldn’t think about Ronda against Pennington or Misha or

Hol you wouldn’t even consider it I don’t know if that’s true Ronda won’t be fighting at 300 who the hell knows oh no Dustin needs to be on 300 who who’s he going to fight you do Jim Miller Dustin I’m cool with that do you do him in Colby I mean

That’s the biggest fight he can actually get right now he just I mean it it just is unless unless the UFC goes with Islam versus Ola instead of gaii then I guess pore’s best option would be to fight rukan other than that like he ain’t getting

Nate he ain’t getting like he just isn’t getting those fights he he’s just not so Surin versus porier I look we could do that but that’s only if like all of it should be cukan versus Oliva that’s the fight I want to see uh Mike reflecting on 2023 what’s

One or more things from your work in MMA media you’re thankful for the watch party for sure love doing that um I got to hit the road a little bit this year it was for Jake both were for Jake Paul fights no I did you do um boots on the ground for

292 at least for f week stuff that that whole week 292 was perfect like that is like that’s the dream that’s exactly what I would want on pay-per-view weeks just do media day press conference wayin days and then leave the day of the fights and go to New York for

The watch party absolutely perfect it’s exactly what I would want it’s exactly what I would want but yeah it was cool to to to go cover an event in Boston that was that was badass always enjoy that Chandler would do better against Islam than gaii I mean this is why we

Have the fights right Felder versus Miller 300 Mill speculation I like it I like it Tom versus serel for UFC 300 or UFC in UK I don’t think Cel Gan has done himself any favors at all I think after that last win he should have had a name

Ready to go I think he know sold Tom Aspen all and I think in hindsight he should have been a little smarter about that probably should have went all in on Good Old Tommy Aspen Hol but he didn’t he didn’t so could they could they wait I don’t know I mean

If Leon’s going to fight a 300 then Tom probably should as well at least that’s the way I would look at it but I kind of feel like Cal’s gonna have to fight somebody else BSD hasn’t ear in the diamond card yet n I’d like to see

Him fight Dan hooker somebody like that next Hamza versus poon for the belt nah too soon what golf clubs are you playing with right now H I just bought a new set of callaways uh that I’m pretty happy with I bought some irons bought a new driver bought a new

3-wood been pretty happy with that uh the poll so far do you want to see Nick Diaz fight UFC 300 72% say no they say no what else we got Tatiana Suarez we got a Tatiana Suarez fan let see what happens with her this year Tristan Mike has it been officially

Announced that shaf cot is getting ankle surgery in the timeline of how long he’ll be out as well as his recovery time no from what I understand um shot’s name was in the mix for UFC 300 maybe that’s why it they would go mobile all or maybe not I don’t know but

Seems like he was pretty banged up so I think he’s going to need a little bit of time in a Thum sha cot just uh bum shot I just wait and see man I think he should get the winner no matter what so what about Hamza for 300 maybe I know he’s talking

About you know posted about that that him being sick and stuff that was that looked pretty pretty awful he’s got to get healthy I don’t want to see Hamza back until he’s like 100% I mean I guess you’re never really 100% when you fight but as close as you can

Be Max versus emit look I don’t hate it I don’t hate it what’s your pick for alra versus Kar [ __ ] I gotta think about that a little too soon for that one little too soon for that one let’s see prir versus Hill Edwards versus balal grao versus wayy adosa

Versus shamay oliveran we talking about this this 300 lineup Jamal Hill is not fighting at 300 no [ __ ] chance there’s just no chance with that injury I mean he would be in he’s not a human being if he’s back at UFC 300 he’s not I would love that fight I would love for

That fight to be the main event though if we could somehow magically heal Hills Achilles to the point where he could fight a 300 to fight Alex Pereira I’m all over that adisan shamay would be would be would be a good one oler shukan love that Gro versus waye I don’t love I

Don’t love it I I just again the champ versus champ fights we don’t like this one we don’t need at all we do not need this fight Gro has Gro has contenders to fight for the next three years right now she is set she doesn’t have to worry about next

Woman up she could start with Valentina again because there’s no ending to that rivalry yet we got blanchfield and fioro she’s gonna have to fight one of them she’s gonna have to fight Aaron blanchfield and I’m telling you what when Aaron blanchfield fights any of these women title or no title title I’m

Picking her to win so I think she’s going to be the champion she’s got plenty and then we got plenty of other fighters on the way up Jang also has people to fight she’s got Yan jonan she’s got Tatiana Suarez she’s got she’s got options she’s got

Options do I want to see this someday yes do I want to see it now no we don’t need to see it now Jang has defended the belt once since she regained it Grasso has not I mean she has I guess successfully defended the Bell because

It was a draw but she does not have a win as Champion yet like I think we need to slow our roles here on just putting champ versus champ fights together willy-nilly what else we got if Ortega loses versus yayer will he finally be pulled from the top five

Probably Max for BMF belt God anyone who has listened to on to the next one over over the years Max Holloway versus Justin gatei is the fight I want to see more than anything but if I’m Justin gatei I ain’t touching that [ __ ] I’m waiting for my title

Shot what else we got we got an Alo by decision pick Let’s see middleweight champ versus aagna Aspen versus gone I don’t think gon’s going to get tile shot Edwards versus B Oliver cukan Usman versus shaf Cott Yuri racket figgy Cody Hol Tate aloor Turner BSD Miller Felder Bo versus brage it’s pretty

Good I want Pereira on this card though I really do New England versus New York let’s go please please I yeah I know we’re talking about Al verus skar but honestly honestly for the world of professional football please New York Jets beat the Patriots beat them beat them into

Submission I don’t want to win on Sunday please just kick our ass I’m cool what else we got another shot versus Usman pick all right how about this lineup Pereira Hill Edwards B I think we already did this one uh Jamal Hill is not fighting at 300 what about Brock Lesnar versus Dom

Aspadol dude yes okay I’d like to see aspadol fight on that card pooria is not going to happen uh what are Mike’s thoughts on the rumored report that Marvel vtori versus Brandon Allen will Main Event April 6 of the Apex it’s not a rumored report it’s legit uh that is your main

Event April 6th of the Apex uh ought no point for me it’s a middle weighty middleweight Apex Main Event that’s what it is um it’s good next step for Brendan Allen and I think even if he wins he’s probably got a lot of work still to do before he gets to a title

Fight he’s probably have to win two or three more he’s going to be in the same kind of position that BL mahamad is in unfortunately because middleweight is become one of the more fascinating divisions in the sport right now and as good as brand and Allen has looked in

Terms of like star power like who people actually want to see Brennan’s not really on the top of that list right now so I think his his road to the belt is going to be a long road how do you feel about DC versus Lesnar any chance that hell it happens

God I would love it I would love it we didn’t we’re so clo it seemed like we’re so close to getting that fight remember they had the runin and Lesnar shoved DC and all that happened like God that’s God that’d be fun like that’s a 300 fight that’s a 300 fight love that

Idea which Fight Night prior to UFC 300 are you most looking forward to ankle live Walker 2 Del imov Hermanson pyer Moreno abazi blanchfield fioro Victoria Allen I mean I’ll go Marino albazi I think that fight I think that just their return to Mexico is just going to be

Incredibly fun I love the Marino oazi fight I like the airo take a fight like those two fights alone it’s almost like it just gives you the win uh what are the odds khabib comes back for 300 plus 500 million Nick Diaz versus Carlos condid out of retirement that’s

Interesting I don’t think it’d be a great fight but that’s interesting I’m the only one thinks Bal and Leon won’t be as bad as everyone says look it’s gonna be a fine fight it’s going to be a competitive matchup but it just it doesn’t scream

300 like this is not going to be a fight of the Year Contender not saying that every title fight has to be a fight of the Year Contender but when you look at UFC 300 and you think about about where the UFC started at UFC 1 and now you get this

Tent pole historic round number event you don’t think of Leon Edwards and balal muhamad as the final fight of UFC 300 you just don’t UFC 100 we got Brock Lesnar versus Frank Meer you had the at the time the biggest star in the sport and in the co

Main event was the second biggest star in the sport we had Brock Lesnar in the main event and we had George S Pierre in the co-main event UFC 200 the original plan we’re going to get Connor Nate to Connor said nah dude pay me more and Nate said okay respect Connor pay him

More then you have to pay me more and then we got Jon Jones dc2 on the card and then Jones tests positive we get DC fighting Anderson Silva instead so we get mesha Tate against Amanda Nunes as the main event that’s just kind of what happened we also got Brock Lesnar on

That card that Brock Lesnar did the heavy lifting because of his star power for 10000 is Brock going to do the heavy lifting again probably not I don’t know it just doesn’t that just doesn’t scream 300 to me it just doesn’t what else we have here wait RDA is booked yes RDA is

Booked let me look it up real quick he’s fighting matou gamrat um at 299 in Miami it was either 298 or 299 get super chats going I don’t know how to do any of that [ __ ] maybe so the line oh the line is already dropped no [ __ ] all

Right I might actually make a bet on Bal Mohammad if he could believe that I want to see Brian battle back in the top uh break into the top 15 he could he’s been looking real good lot of zabid at 300 talk Nick Diaz versus Colby Covington really do you

Really want to see that Dustin versus Colby was there any truth to asadal Pereira not that I had heard that’s just what like why would why would Pereira go up to heavyweight to fight for a heavyweight title that isn’t the actual heavyweight title like if he’s gonna go out and make

That kind of History like wouldn’t he rather fight Jon Jones or at least try to get that fight I think Jon would actually be somewhat intrigued by that idea if we’re being honest I think John would be more intrigued about fighting Alex perer than he would Tom aspal Dustin versus luuk probably

Not R Rose is a UFC 300 I don’t think so there aren discussions that he’s going to fight uh on that Mexico City card it’s not done yet um but there are he’s going to fight in Mexico City ra roast juder that is I was at 292 great fights I was there

As well well I wasn’t at the card but I was at everything else Dustin’s not fighting at lightweight anymore everyone I don’t know man Dustin Dustin’s not a big guy landscapers are coming through here so just we got to deal with it uh any Rumblings ahead after the

Venom deal expires I have not heard anything when it comes to that lozon versus Tony Ferguson to 300 loser has to retire and the winner I love that idea I’ve been saying Tony versus Lo on like three losses ago for Tony so man they’re loud which is super funny because like

There’s nothing to Leaf blow we already like swept everything up this morning hang TI all right uh did you see the report santon accepted a five round main event from March against benil no I saw some fake reports of that though so yeah Nick Diaz versus Dan hooker

No John anic jokes you’d like to Barrow a Fighter’s body for a day who would you borrow the most aesthetic Leon no Brock freaking Lesnar baby it’s a funny ass question though uh would Holloway have to be the biggest ilot torei fan at 298 if he wants another featherweight Championship reain

Uh he’s going to need to be a Big ilot Toria fan for far longer than 298 what are they doing uh because of Toria beats vul he’s getting a rematch there’s no doubt about it Jamal back late April apparently I don’t think so we’ll see dude that’s a bad like the

Achilles Like it takes a long time to come back from that like if he fights in July like that would be like a super duper recovery but I do think Jamal will fight this year um I’m actually picking him to be light heavyweight champion at the end of the

Year Leon worst champ ever at 170 H I don’t think that’s fair Maz ol vers Nate 2 or mazal versus Asen 2 Jesus I’d do the Asen fight if it’s MMA I would do the ASD fight does Tatiana Suarez get a title shot this year yes I think she will I

Don’t think she gets the next one but I think I think she gets it Paca pora versus joran NE Castro let’s go we’ll see what happens with with Paca Porter I think I think you’re are going to cast your going to headline the next CES card um I don’t think Porter’s gonna do

That what about Alger versus max Al’s booked against Kar 299 looks good any chance Kayla Harrison makes the move to the UFC before 300 and signs up to fight someone interesting I don’t know I kind of think Kayla should just stay where she’s at right now I don’t

Think the UFC is gonna pay her anywhere near with the pfl’s paying her um Anie hello Mike some advice can I start the 24-hour fast yes uh I think in hindsight I would have done that myself so uh I just went right into the 72-hour

One but yes I would do 20 4 then go 48 then go 72 whatever number you choose make sure you’re super busy for it that is probably the best advice I can give you what if they reunited the main event fighters from 100 200 in the Octagon a

300 for like a ceremoni moment this lazy bed is what I’m talking about this is how we have fun they should absolutely be doing this uh 1,000% they should do it like how the NBA celebrated their 75th Anniversary like the top 75 players the top 75 this

10 best fights of all time like this exactly what you should be doing on a card like this exactly what you should be doing do you think any of the Champs that are fighting in January February March could make a quick turnaround for 300 Sean Strickland

Certainly I think if you gave Shawn the chance he would fight every month month so of all the fighters available I would say Shan Strickland is probably the one I would have the most faith in even if he loses uh one of the odds 300 is a massive

Disappointment I don’t think it’ll be a massive disappointment what else we got Wrestlemania 40 in Philly is April 6 and 7th basically kicks off 300 fight week yeah Brock versus Cena 300 Tim Kennedy versus Michael bisbing 2 for 300 this is all right now now we’re getting crazy someone asked about Yol Romero

Yesterday which I thought was kind of funny any thoughts on when Dana will announce the card Dana said he’s going to announce more fights on Tuesday is he going to say the main event probably not will we get a couple of preim fights sure I don’t know but yeah I guess Dana

Said Tuesday is gonna announce more fights let’s see let’s take a few more uh we’ll go for like five or 10 more minutes what about Guest referees and judges for 300 I don’t think they’ll do that special guest ring announcer that’d be fun special against Corners that’d be fun I like those

Ideas they’re going to have fights to get widespread attention to be sure but don’t Mas all brings any anymore I don’t know if that’s true um mael still got a name I don’t think he’s fighting a 300 I don’t think his next fight’s going to be an MMA I could be

Wrong I’ve been wrong many times but I think he’s box I think he’s gonna box I think he’s gonna box I think the UFC will let him box he’ll probably box for his own promotion and it’ll probably be a car that will be on UFC Fight Pass or at

Least be available to be bought on UFC Fight Pass would be my guess uh what’s on your workout playlist a lot of different things um I’m a 90s hipop guy first and foremost I like 90s rock as well there’s a whole bunch of [ __ ] on there but mostly old older school

Stuff Rousey versus corano it’s time I mean that would get some attention would it not why don’t they they book Nate versus Nate’s not in the UFC anymore Nate is not under UFC contract now could they sign him sure but Nate has been working tirelessly for years to

Get out of this contract and now he’s out he just made a floppity jillion dollars to go box Jake Paul in a fight that he lost but still a lot of people are like thought his stock Rose why would he go back and make way less money

When he could co-promote some big event and make a ton of money he could go box Jorge mazal in gamebred boxing and they could do a co-promoted gamebred boxing versus real fight Inc event with the main event is Nate and mazol 2 which should do Bonkers and you just do a

Whole bunch of fights with the gamebred boxers against the real fight ink boxers you do Chris Aila versus somebody and you go from there like why am I say like do I think Nate there’s a world where Nate could fight in the UFC again yeah do I think it’s

Gonna happen to 300 no I really don’t again as I have been saying on Twitter for the last couple weeks there’s not a lot the UFC could announce that would Shock Me Nate Diaz fighting at UFC 300 would shock me that would Shock Me Dylan versus Gary at 300 no I don’t think

So but Dylan danis is got to be interesting if if Dylan is gonna fight in the UFC this year he’s going to fight on the same card Conor fights on oh God why did I put that there what else we got what chest workouts do you do benching push-ups

Etc uh I do CrossFit so whatever gets mixed into that so did like a million pull-ups today if that helps Mya Lear versus bamir but that could be coming walk out props at 300 dude dude th now this is what this is what I’m talking about this is fun this is fun

Fun entrances like WrestleMania style entrances I’m cool with that [ __ ] I’m cool with that highly unlikely but you havec 300 one day tournament for the wi One Last Ride George still a contract the UFC yes but yes that’s why he’s not going to go to like bkfc and fight Mike Perry that’s why

He’s not going to go to pfl that’s why he’s not going to box Jake Paul but if he boxes in his own promotion that you could buy on Fight Pass DFC will let him box you know what I mean 300 fights for UFC 300 I think do I think B is overrated God

No uh next big name to get signed by bkfc I don’t even want to say the answer I think it’s going to be because it’s going to hurt my feelings so I’m not even going to say it I think you know where I’m going with this although Darren till would be a

Good one do Darren till versus Mike Perry at bkfc let’s go chances one of the Paul Brothers fight a UFC 300 zero all right I’m ending the the Diaz poll here little bit extra love for for Nick uh 68% say no don’t want to see Nick Diaz fight a UFC 300

UFC 300s what do I G do for 301 good question when is 301 it’ll be in May I mean May is usually like a sh a [ __ ] pay-per-view anyways is it not like 288 was in May that card sucked that was a terrible card we knew

It was going to be a terrible card Bose’s not overrated could current Bo beat Johan Strickland God all right I’ll take a couple more well Wy versus Yan happen in China needs to happen I don’t know I don’t know why it didn’t happen before Dantel ma versus Mo Usman R for UFC 300

Main Event heck versus Casey UFC 300 no Casey stretched my ass all right I think we’ve we’ve I think we’ve done enough here I think we’ve done enough we wanted to try it out today and and we’ve done it let’s see rapid fire uh we’ll go two more

Minutes we’ll go two more minutes here we go uh I think we ever get UFC Africa yes when I don’t know does stong beat P Yan I’ll say no could he yes I think P wins he needs this one way more than song does UFC 274 is a made at fire lineup

Didn’t deliver the whole time but the car was stacked talk about this past year one bold prediction for M this year thank you for asking that uh I’m not going to say my answer now because I’m still thinking about it but you will hear my answer on Sunday on to the next

One uh AKA and I predictions Extravaganza 10: a.m. eastern join us for that could wayy versus JN be one of the title fights for 300 I saw I think through MC life Dana is on vacation to Bali till Sunday said Tuesday Matchmaker beating hopefully 300 fights are made no I mean

Maybe what if UFC 300 made a box made 300 a boxing card UFC 300 won’t be that great Dave of Reckoning the most clear example ever that you just have to book the fight you want as a promotion instead of effing around and finding out I mean the UFC

Does this all the time so could you give Luke and Bryant I love those guys great show for the laundromat it’s why we’re here baby it’s why we’re here do you think there will be a UFC slowers slap card on the same [ __ ] God I hope not I really hope

Not I’ll tell you I’ll tell you what if they do that then power slap is nowhere near as successful as Dana is saying that it is I he versus Alex 3 maybe over under 60 contracts uh I’ll say under but not by much Cruise fight maybe I don’t

Know all right I think we’re done thank you all very much I hope you guys liked this I had a blast doing it so yeah we’ll see how this all continues to roll and if this is you know if the numbers end up being good in the and the rewatches and things

Of that nature we will add this to the mix and we’ll start doing some video stuff in the meantime we’ll be back on Twitter on Tuesday and we’ll do the normal show where I get to hear your voices a little bit but I do like doing

It this way as well I think more people get to hop in more people get to ask questions we get to be a little more freewheeling and dealing styling and profiling uh I’ll the Nature Boy Ric Flair so thank you all very much at least next week we’ll have a UFC card to

Look forward to so like subscribe share tell your friends tell whoever good time so thank you all very much see you back on Twitter Tuesday 10: a.m. eastern have a great rest of your Friday have a great rest of your weekend and have a heck of a morning everybody you guys Rule and

We’ll see you later on

  1. I don't agree with Lewis Vs Aspinal, Lewis lost five in row before last W, he doesn't barely deserve a top ten fight, no less that one

  2. O'Malley v Vera 2 isn't a UFC 300 main effect.

    I think trying to make it so would turn even more people off O'Malley.

  3. 40:07 Think Mike and Jed consistently overrestimate how interested fans are in seeing retired guy fights like Lesnar v Cormier and Masvidal v Askren.

    Those fights would be rubbish and meaningless and the fans know it.

  4. Ahh.. so happy this is on YouTube!! So cool, Mike! I hope HOAM regulars like it too. It's easier for me to listen in while I'm at work. 🔥🔥

  5. Brock vs DC would be silly at this point. Bad knees And back issues going at it with no stakes. Not enough time to up their cardios either. People talking about that or Rousey are reminiscing and not living on the present.

  6. Your website and staff continually trashing and criticising the UFC is very disingenuous imo…..without the UFC your site doesn't exist and you guys don't have jobs.

  7. leon's brand has brown. him v belal will be fun. but if dana wants an a-side, he better make alex p v tom for the main HW interim

  8. Jed and Mike say they love walk out props but when Izzy does it they hate it lol love and peace love and peace you guys do great work just something I noticed

  9. 7:40. You're absolutely right. There is no fun. Dana is one of the best businessmen in the world. But he seems to hate anything that is fun and exciting. Jon Jones vs. Stipe is not a fun fight, it's a business fight that is designed to erase Francis Ngannou; it is not a fight for the fans.

Waiting 2 years for Jon to "maybe" return to fighting, is the opposite of fun, and it ruins the sport.
