Thank you.

I'm Hello, hello, hello, and welcome to another edition of Heavy Hands.

I am your host, Connor Rebush, with me, as always, Dr. Philip McKent.

Eh.

That was just one syllable. I could tell.

Eh.

It wasn't even a word, but it was technically a syllable.

Welcome to another episode of Heavy Hands, everyone.

Phil, as you can tell, is glad to have you.

As am I.

We have another pay-per-view on deck.

UFC 313, main evented by the UFC's biggest breakout star, Alex Prera, and I do mean biggest

in every sense of the word, and he is defending the strap against the eternal prospect,

Maghamed Ancolaev. It feels like only yesterday that Maghamed Ankhaliev. It feels like

only yesterday that Magamad Ankolaev was getting submitted in literally the last second of his UFC debut with Paul Craig.

But in fact, it was eight years ago.

And he has spent the intervening time getting better?

Yes. Yes.

Well, I think it has kind of, to be honest, but also in a much more obvious way, has not changed at all.

We have been sort of obsessed and fascinated by Magamette Ancolaev for all this time,

and he's finally made it to that title fight that he was sure he deserved. And frankly,

given the fact that he hasn't lost since his UFC debut, probably has deserved for quite a while now. That's not to say I expect him to look particularly good under the bright lights this Saturday.
