What's up, everybody? I almost forgot the mic wasn't in front of you. Hey, guys, welcome to an episode

of the way and any podcast. I thought I would just drop in, man. I got obviously some news dropped with Nate Diaz today. Actually, it was yesterday. But, you know, just kind of, I've got a relationship with Nate, not like he's if we're buddy, buddy or anything like that. But, you know, we fought before and I fought his teammate three times, you know, probably one of the best trilogies in the sport history.

You know, we fought before and I fought his teammate three times, you know, probably one of the best trilogies in the sport history, you know, with Gilbert Melendez, just wanted to get out here and say like, hey, how do you guys feel about this? What are your guys' thoughts on him, you know, potentially returning to the UFC? I've got a little inside scoop on this whole thing. And, I mean, it's nothing major.

Just wanted to come out here and just get your feeling.

I said, I'm probably going to be eating my words here shortly.

But I said probably about two weeks ago, I said the UFC's not signing 40-year-olds.

But let's be honest, man, Nate is just a different animal.

He is a different person um when it comes

to signing him the ufc signing him they are right now in this really weird position right like

they're in this uh needing stars they just cut jilton almeda which we'll touch on a little bit

throughout this show but uh they're in this weird position of like they need action fighters. They need fighters that, you know, just kind of bring it. Look, win, lose, or draw, I think everyone that's walked away from an Aideas fight were like, man, I was glad I watched that. Now, there's obviously a lot of frustrating moments during his fights. I think when you watch, you know, the Leon Edwards fight. Didn't really do much, you know, the fight, couldn't get really catch him, couldn't get after him, rocks him in the fifth round, doesn't go after him, just points at him and just laughs at him. I'm like, I could put you away if I want to, just did decide that I don't want to chase after you and went about his business.

So should the you, I guess the question is, should the UFC bring him back?

There's fights to be made.

And let's let's be honest, there's fights to be made for him.

And let's talk about some fights.

The Connor McGregor trilogy fight.

That's high in my list, man. 40 let's not pretend like connor is the the coner of the eddie alvarez era

that that's the in the in the hosey alde that's not him anymore so i look i got uh

dj serenity now look should Look, should they bring them back?

You say no.

But there are fights to be made that will bring in huge numbers.

And if you're the UFC and looking to bring in new,
