Khalil Roundtree's Fruit Pastels Jack Slack. It's the Jack Slack podcast. We're coming at you on Monday following UFC 307. And I am, it seems, about to start one of my tri-yearly colds. My voice is struggling already. So we'll see how we go on this, I was about to say on this

0:21.8

card on this episode, but I got a lot to moan about. I think first off let's

0:27.6

just say what everyone's thinking and what I said before the card, thank goodness

0:31.8

for Alex Pereira. What did we do to deserve this guy? What did the UFC do to deserve

0:37.0

this guy aside from offer more money than glory?

0:41.3

My position on the boycast, which I think if you haven't listened to, go back and listen

0:44.0

to it because it was a pretty solid, I don't want to say prediction, but read on most of these

0:48.9

fights.

0:49.9

But I led with the idea that this is a silly main event, but a fun main event, but also a completely

0:54.8

undeserved main event, but also a fun main event. And by the end of that episode, I managed

0:59.4

1:04.6

And some of those did appear, and then some of them appeared, like, at random, and then he didn't

1:10.5

go back to them at all.

1:12.0

Brackets the kicking game.

1:14.2

And then you got to see Alex Pereira be Alex Pereira in sort of round three, round four, put it all

1:20.1

together, overwhelmed Khalil.

1:22.6

I think the really impressive thing is that he was on a three week training camp or something

1:25.6

for this and it's come out that he was like, he had Spanish flu or something, and he's coughing in between rounds. This man, I mean, he's stacking up the paychecks because he's, what is he, almost 40? And he's had a ton of fights as a kickboxer before his, uh, MMA career. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold up. he's only 37. We got like eight more years of peak Alex Pereira, in this division at least. When you get too old, go up to heavyweight because he seems to be the miraculous growing man. Looking at him next to Kalea Rangri, I could, I'm doing the same thing as everyone else. Whenever you see him, you go,

2:01.2

how the hell did that guy make middleweight? Or in the words of Rob Whitaker, look at the size of

2:05.7

that filler. But then the rest of the card, oh lordy, it was always a brave, slash stupid,

2:13.1

slash spiteful to your fan base move to have two women's bantamweight fights on the main card, on the paid portion of a pay-per-view?
