What if there was a better way to talk to all your friends than through a thousand different messaging apps on a thousand different platforms?

What if you could just find the show you wanted without browsing through infinite tiles in a hundred different streaming apps?

What if you could have all of your stuff everywhere without dealing with some crummy user interface on some unknowable file sharing platform?

This month on the Vergecast, we're looking into connectivity. How we talk to each other, how we talk to our stuff, how we find things online.

All this month, on the Vergecast, available wherever you get podcasts.

You're listening to the Vox Media Podcast Network.

Well, hello there everybody and welcome to a brand new and spooky edition of On to the next one of this Halloween!

As we record this episode and unlike those dopes in Hattenfield, Illinois trying to avoid the wrath of Michael Myers,

we are not going to run towards the heat and do the bare minimum.

We are here to create the heat as we discuss the what's next for the notable names coming out of Saturday's UFC 267 event.

In Abu Dhabi we have two brand new champions, some incredible performances to talk about and this should be a fun one.

I am Mike Heck and joining me on this loaded edition of the program is the co-host, the co-matchmaker, and he's my best friend, ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Alexander Kaylee. Happy Halloween, how are you, sir?

Happy Halloween, my best friend. People are about to get the wrath of Michael Heck today, I think.

Forget the wrath of Michael Myers, that is nothing compared to the wrath of Michael Heck, which is rarely seen, but I do feel like on this Halloween season,

I do think your more sinister side might come back a little bit, especially if some of the listener picks are do-do, which we'll see later, we'll get to that.

I feel like we have a lot to talk about, Mike, even just the two of us and the listeners listening at home.

So it will be a while before we get there, but yeah, we got our picks coming up, check the tapes, all that good stuff, very excited.

I do have some things to say to MMA fans, to people who have criticized me over a certain fighter, and I will address that later on in the program with some vigor, but we do have a lot to discuss, a lot to get into.

Let's get right into this thing. Let's first talk about Glover to Shira, doing the damn thing, pulling off the big upset.

He dominates, submits Yombohovich to become the UFC Light Heavyweight Champion, just days after his 42nd birthday, incredible story, inspiration to the max.

I mean, how can you not love this, AK, and it seems pretty obvious that to Shira, we'll fight Yuri per Hashka next, which is a much more interesting matchup than a lot of people make it out to be at this point.

But AK Glover to Shira got a lot of people to wake up a little earlier this morning to go for a run or go to the gym or take one step towards accomplishing their dreams after what he did on Saturday, did he not?
