Summary

Henry Cejudo announced on Thursday that a shoulder injury has scratched him from his UFC 292 matchup with Marlon Vera in Boston. While Vera is calling for a fight with Petr Yan, if the former champion is not available, should Vera remain on the card to face another ranked bantamweight? On an all-new edition of Heck of a Morning, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck reacts to Cejudo's withdrawal and where Vera could go after losing a big-time matchup. Additionally, listener questions include UFC 290, Ilia Topuria's title hopes after his big win over Josh Emmett, Aljamain Sterling possibly moving to 145 pounds after facing Sean O'Malley, the MMA media landscape, the best play-by-play announcers in sports, how Jim Ross would fare calling UFC fights, how Jon Anik would do calling WWE matches, and much more.

0:04.0	Alright everybody, it is Friday, June 30th, 2023, the last day of June everybody, and it
0:32.5	is in Dita heck of a morning. We are live in the M.A. Fighting Twitter spaces, you hear the show, and it's
0:36.6	entirely short. They're after on the M.A. Fighting podcasting network and apparently here, because the
0:41.9	recording setting is on the space, and I have no idea why, but oh well, it is what it is. We are on the
0:49.4	eve of UFC Vegas 76 which goes down tomorrow afternoon, 4 p.m. Eastern time for the prelimbs, 7 p.m. main
1:00.5	card on the East Coast and the main events. A weird one, but it's happening. Sean
1:08.1	Strickland, Aibu Smaga made off. We got Grand Dawson, Demeer's, but Gulof. It's not a
1:15.3	bad card. It's not a great card, but it's not bad. It's just a weird main event.
1:20.5	And usually when the headliner has people scratching their heads, that's the kind

2:05.1	But that line should probably be higher than that. Lusagato's a pretty big favorite. Ismail
2:11.9	Bonfim's a pretty big favorite. Bruno Ferrer's a pretty big favorite. Fakr Tinoff, minus 205
2:17.3	over Kevin Lee, probably the most interesting thing on the entire card if you asked me. In
2:22.7	terms of intrigue and what do I want to see the most and what questions do I have about
2:27.7	this card? One has a card today. It's an MMA week at everybody. It's also free for
