What is going on, y'all? We are back. It is another edition of NoBestBard this time.

We are heading to the Queen City. I believe that is what they call Charlotte Beautiful City.

I actually have been there before. Jelton Almeida makes his return to the Octaion and his first main event of his UFC career taking on Jay.

It's a big week for you, buddy.

It's a lot of my reputation is on the line. If we're being totally honest, top 10 opponent. I mean, it's I'm already getting the jitters.

I mean, I'm obviously going to be heavily overexposed to him. But like when you're putting when you're putting the bets in, you're just like, yeah, I feel good about this.

But like once the cage door closes, you're like, oh shit, like he could lose this. And I could lose a lot of money.

I mean, it always could happen. Let's talk about it. I mean, who needs to talk about last week?

I need to talk about last week. I need to pop out my chest. Finally, been waiting on it too long in 2023 had that breakout week up over eight units just fell.

Fantastic. Naded it. Still down still down on the year, still in the red for the year, but it feels good. It feels like I can.

I'm not yet. I feel like I'm about to make the turn to be able to see the light at the end of the time.

If I can get get get get back to single digits, I'm at like 13 right now. If I can make the turn to get back to single digits, I'll really start feeling good.

Just start climbing out. I mean, it's it's all about the hope you can see light. You're digging and you can see light and that just I'm sure that that feels great.

I did not have an eight unit week. I lost just under half a unit.

Hey, you know, it could be worse. Not awful. You know, it could be worse. Not terrible. Not great. Feeling just a weird week, but great fights.

Feeling feeling some type of way about some things, Connor, but we'll get into some of those things later.

Just I may be a jinx. I may be a jinx. And I think we just need to acknowledge that.

It needs to be studied at this point. I don't I don't know if we have the archives to go back on this, but it does feel like every time you say you don't understand the line.

I missed all of it of a zero percent success rate on under just right up the top of my head.

Casey O'Neill, Scott Holtzman, Jessica and Drudge. And I'd like to say there was one more.

There's definitely one more in there somewhere, but I can't.

The worst part is I think this is the first time that I wasn't on the same side as you.
