Summary

We’re coming off a mega busy combat sports weekend with UFC, Bellator, boxing and yes, influencer boxing galore. Sergei Pavlovich continued his run to a heavyweight title shot, Patchy Mix confirmed that he’s one of the best in the world at 135 pounds, Gervonta Davis won his highly anticipated match with Ryan Garcia, and Nate Diaz got into all kinds of trouble. On an all-new edition of Heck of a Morning, guest host Alexander K. Lee reacts to the main event of UFC Vegas 71 and what could be next for Curtis Blaydes after falling short in another big opportunity. Additionally, topics include whether Garcia quit against Davis, if Blaydes has hit the end of the road in the UFC, the most disappointing what-could-have-been careers, whether the UFC should be rooting for Aljamain Sterling or Henry Cejudo to win the UFC 288 main event, the possibility of Bellator putting together grand prix tournaments for its flyweight and featherweight women, what’s the most exciting BKFC matchup this weekend, and more.

0:28.0	we talked about this. I got a lot of great suggestions from people sending me DMs, just, you know,
0:35.0	adding me on Twitter, great suggestions for what to call the show and Mike's absence.
0:40.0	But first thought, best thought. We said, leave a morning. It's like a glove. You know, the work play just as good.
0:47.0	So that's what we're going with. It is leave a morning for the next couple of days.
0:51.0	Hoping to do at least two shows this week, guys. I want to be with you on Tuesday and Thursday,
0:56.0	while the beloved Mike Heck is on a well-deserved vacation. The man has not taken a real vacation in,
1:04.0	I don't know how many years. Even when he's taken time off, he's still done interviews. He's still done shows.

1:48.0	I think even on the May hour and some of the shows we've done, it was hard to get it out.
1:53.0	We had a UFC Vegas card, which someone was flying under the radar. Maybe not as much as this upcoming card,

2:03.0	We had two belt records built toward making its annual trip to Hawaii.
2:07.0	They had the show for, of course, the first responders and the military on Friday.
