Summary

Meet the new Apex card, somehow worse than the old Apex card. That's why, after discussing the only two good fights, we decided to give each of the UFC's 11 weight classes a nice, thorough checkup.

There's another yokozuna in the world of sumo--our second new grand champion this year. Join us on Patreon for a breakdown of Onosato's historic rise in the latest episode of Heavy Henka: https://www.patreon.com/heavyhands

0:00.0	So what do you think we tacked that on to what will surely be a not particularly deep discussion of Gamrot Klein to fill out the second segment and then we do our topic?
0:12.0	Yeah, my memory of Klein is not good.
0:16.1	Okay, well, we can...
0:17.8	Small, if you will.
0:20.0	Mike, I got that joke.
0:24.5	Very good.
0:31.2	There are a lot of bilingual people in this audience.
0:33.5	There are a lot of bilingual people in this audience.
1:00.8	Yeah. Hello, Hello and welcome to another edition of Heavy Hands. I am your host, as always, Mr. Connor, joining me, as always, Dr. Phil.
1:07.8	Yo.
1:09.0	And Phil, are you excited? No, No. I'm not excited. What the... What's wrong with you? You gotta go with the bit longer than that. No. I was going to do... I'm not excited at all. How could I be excited? Go damn it, Connor. I was going to do... I was going to do a whole voice. I was going to be like, this Saturday, meeting in the fabled Apex Center.
1:34.0	You know, but okay, fine.
1:36.0	We'll drop the one bit that we do when the card sucks, I guess, even though we've got nothing else to Leon.
1:42.6	Yes.
1:43.7	Unfiltered honestly today, this card sucks. Yeah, it's fucking trash. The UFC is returning to the apex. And it was only, you know, two events ago that they were at the apex. And I was like, you know what? I think they tried. I think they actually tried with this one. It's not good, but there's a couple of fights in here that are all right, and it at least feels sort of like what a fight night card is supposed to feel like. And that was just a mistake on their part, it turns out. Because now we've got Aaron Blanchfield versus Macy Barber in the main event.
2:19.3	And I don't have a particular problem with that fight.
2:23.6	And I don't even know that it really falls below the bar that has been set by other Apex main events.
2:29.2	I think it's probably fine for a shitty low-rent fight night main event and it certainly has meaning for its division
2:37.2	and it'll probably be somewhat entertaining too so all right fine co-main event
2:43.9	Matej gamrod versus leutovit klein okay you know it know, not terrible, but again, some divisional relevance there.
2:54.5	And that is where they ran out of fights.
3:00.0	Yeah.
