You're listening to the Vox Media Podcast Network.

Hello there, everybody. We are live on the MMA Fighting YouTube channel with another edition of on to the next one coming off of a very emotional UFC 291 events where the highs were very high, the lows were very low.

We have a new BMF champion and Derek Lewis might be, might have just given us the greatest six minutes in the history of combat sports last night, but a lot's talked about from a matchmaking perspective.

Thank you for having us here early on a Sunday morning after a just a crazy day and a half, if you will, of combat sports action.

But I am my cat. And as you can see, my best friends back and you're going to be in trouble. Hey now, it's my best friend, Alexander Kaylee, the co host, the cold matchmaker. How are we doing, AK? Happy Sunday.

We're doing good. We're doing good. We're a little as always, a little sleep deprived at their paper for you, a little even more so. If you, I don't know, Mike, if you stayed up at all for the rise in action, which was extraordinarily eventful for anyone who did not keep up with that.

Those results, both pit bull brothers fought at these rise and shows. And Patriki, the less decorated one of one, I think is expected to keep up, right? Am I making some? I'm, again, I'm, I'm creating the one crazy right now.

Patriki, one, yes, a particular one. Patrizio, a lot of our projects finding out was knocked out in the first round.

So feel free to catch up on that, guys, while you are watching our show or the wonderful gimmick crews, stayed up in his time zone to, to take care of this action.

I lost to Patrizio Pitbull to Chihiro Suzuki. So a short notice fight for both guys, kind of a wild circumstance, dealt with his first Patrizio Pitbull that much.

But again, for anyone out there, just hearing about this, I mean, I'm totally blown away, maybe the upside of the year. But yes, you see 291, great show, another great show in Utah.

Shout out, shout out, we per state in Ogden, Ogden, Utah, where I have family, the alma mater of Damien Lillard.

Dame, come to Toronto. Come to Toronto, Dame, lovely up here.

Yeah, hey, listen, maybe, maybe he's watching the show right now. So sure he is. I'm sure he is.

Yes, well, I mean, this is, this is going to be an interesting program. Normally we do this in podcast form. Everyone submits their picks via social media.

The live shows are a little bit different. It's going to be chat based. So if we talk about a specific fight, you have certain matchups that you have in mind for said fight.

We'll pull them up on the screen. We'll give our picks for who winners and some of the men on the other end of those victories, the losses, if you will.

Where they're going to go. We'll go through the main card. And then we'll do wild card picks for us. And then after that, we're just for five to 10 minutes.

We're just going to get after it. And just turn it over to you. A nice wild card. Ra will pull up your picks. We'll discuss and we will go from there. So AK, are you ready? Are you ready to do this?

I'm ready. I'm excited. This was, this was pretty easy. I guess it's usually is when we have, you know, a lot of notable names in the main cards. So yeah, I'm ready to rock.

All right. Well, let's start with the main event. Let's start with the new BMF champ Justin Gaichy lived up to the nickname. A lot of people penciled this in as a fight of the year nominee and Justin Gaichy is like, I've had enough of those.

How about a knockout of the year nominee? And I don't know if this one's probably not going to win knockout of the year. I think the out of signing knockout is probably number one, but there are others. This will be on the top five for sure.
