You're listening to the Vox Media Podcast Network.

Welcome everyone to on to the next one. This is not the cherry sweet voice of Mike Heck.

You're hearing your usual lead host. This is Alexander Kaylee, his best friend and co-host.

And I am joined by one of our best friends, Jose Youngs, who is hopping in doing us a favor

because Mike is traveling. Mike was in Dallas for the momentous Jake Paul versus Nate Diaz fight,

bringing some spicy hot coverage. And the skies just didn't work out for him to do our usual Sunday matchmaking show.

But we are joined by the more than capable Jose, making us onto the next one debut, I think, right?

Wow, you've never done this. Wow. How does it feel to put on the matchmaking shoes?

It goes against a lot of what I think about in terms of my role in MMA, but we will persevere.

I don't normally like to pick fights or make fights or there are fights I would like to see.

But I rarely say like, I think these two should fight. So this should be interesting to go against my better nature.

Yes, we have a fighting picks channel on our company Slack.

Jose, for years we've had a Jose has abstained.

Much like our pal, Aaron Hawani, also generally does not like to pick fights beforehand.

He'll do a little bit of gambling segment for, you know, for our pals, Jeff Kings, promo code, the May hour.

But otherwise, you know, when he's pressed to pick a fight, Aaron won't.

And I, Jose, for us not to either here. You like to break down fights, but you're not going to, you're not super interested in saying,

like, oh, this guy's going to kick the skies ass forever.

I like to break down fights in not, like, I'm not an ex as an host type of guy because I've not,

I'm not Luke. I'm not, uh, what's his name, uh, Jack Slack.

I'm not any of those guys. I like to break down fights and I give my opinion on who has the probable favorite to win based on based on resume, but not wins,

but just like level of competition, if that makes sense.
