What's up, Wayne and fan, man. I'm joined today by one of the, one of the best looking guys in the sport.

I say that all the time, but also too, now you've become a really good friend of mine, man. I really do appreciate you joining me. Alan Jobon, man, thanks for joining on today. And look, there was no bigger fight card I think this year. And I said it when this fight card was announced. to me this is the best fight card we've had this year on paper.

Now, will it deliver?

I don't know.

You don't know either.

None of us do, but let's. card was announced to me this is the best fight card we've had this year on paper and i will it deliver

i don't know you don't know either none of us do but let's get we're going to give our opinion

on this fight card and what you think obviously of this card yeah it's stacked i mean i was just

looking at it you kind of forget that this card is so stacked i was looking at it a while ago

before we started this show and i was almost thinking i wonder if they could have picked a couple fights on here and swapped them out or added these to the White House card with the White House card being, you know, supposed to be one of the biggest, baddest cards. We know what it is now. Like, you know, it's a couple super fights and some really good fights. It's not necessarily the best court ever, the White House.

But as you were saying, 328, I mean, top the bottom, just looking at the main court in the

amount of two championship fights and a number of ranked fighters on there and the match,

the stylistic matchups that they have on there on paper, solid card top the bottom.

No, I would agree with you. And I do agree that they could have probably taken like the joshua van and tyra fight made it a made it a made it a main event on like a fight night somewhere you know we're in the apex you could have done that um but i think they have i think they have high expectations for joshua van also too if tyra wins they've got a whole country now that supports him you, with Japan, being able to market him as well. So it's kind of a win-win situation for them to put them underneath a huge main event with Sean Strickland and Hamzot Chimayev. You brought up the White House card in terms of we could have maybe put some fights on there. I really honestly believe that, and I follow this by, because of what

John Anick has said, is that that 10 fight card, if we were to throw together fights where we

just had 10 fights on a card, he's like, that's like the sweet spot. I agree. The 14 to 16 is,

I got to be honest, man, it kills me sometimes.

Well, you're going to get a couple flounders on that. You're going to get a couple that just aren't that exciting. I think the UFC does it for a number of reasons without getting to all the bottom line X's and O's, look, they have to rent these venues. They have to sell them a certain amount of concessions and this and that. It makes more money. the more people are there drinking and getting drunk, etc.

Commercials, all those things that they have to sell them a certain amount of concessions and this and that it makes more money the more people are there drinking and getting drunk etc commercials all those things that they have to attend to but also you have to look at it on the side of things is if we were booking tin fight cards you know this very well you get to fight week and two fights drop off every time right multiple guys don't make weight somebody gets sick and

the slipped and hit the head on the bathtub things happen and the reason 15 has kind of become

the well the max number but the number is because they expect 15 fights when they make this cord

and by the time it dwindles down to fight night it's usually about a 13 fight cord but it's long
