I'm Welcome, welcome, one and all to another edition of heavy hands.

I'm your host, Connor, and that guy over there is Phil.

For you.

Oh.

Two syllable Phil. That's what they call him.

Boy, that was a pleasant surprise.

And that would be the last pleasant surprise, though not the last surprise discussed on this episode.

Of course, we are sandwiched right now between a pair of fight night cards, one of them in Seattle.

Last weekend, that was main evented by Song Yadong and Henry Sehudo.

And all things considered a pretty well-filled-out fight-night we have a an apex event main evented by some fly weights which will be a great excuse for the ufc to never market fly weights because as you pointed out to me phil before we started here it the age-old self-fulfilling prophecy that the UFC

likes to do with this division. And there's a wonderful example of it on this card itself.

The main event is Manil Kopp versus Azu Almabayev, which no one has any reason to give a shit about.

And then in the curtain jerker slot, Charles Johnson, who is now 4-0 in his last

four-fights, on a four-fight win streak, really should be building up ahead of steam as a

flyweight contender, is taking on a UFC debutante in the very first fight of the night.

So if Charles Johnson does make it to a title shot, you can be sure the fans will know who he is.

Yeah.

It won't turn out.

It's not like he's, it's not like he's, you know, a little bit old and super fun and like, you might want to get him out there

whilst you got the chance.

Ah, no, just bury him.

We've got Cody Brundage fights to watch.
