You're listening to the Vox Media Podcast Network.

Well, hello there, everybody. Welcome to a brand new edition of On to the next one.

The matchmaking crowns are back following some really early day MMA.

UFC was in Perth, Western Australia at the beautiful scenic RAC arena.

The beer snake cups were flowing all through that arena.

And in the end, their hometown guy just got battered and beaten and finished by Carlos Pratchez,

who is making a very strong case to fight for the UFC Walterway title next. We'll see if that's the direction we go. We'll talk about that and much more here on today's program. I am Mike Heck. And joining me as always the co-host, the co-matchmaker, the Prince of Positivity. And gosh darned, my best friend, fellow NBA fan, fellow Celtics fan.

Just kidding.

Alexander Cayley, different Celtics. How are you, sir? Raptors listen. As we record this, Raptors Game 7 today, uh, people, some people might be listening to this on Monday. Hopefully all my Raptors fans are celebrating. If not, my condolences, guys, it's been a great year. Uh, congrats on your, on your Celtics as well. I know it's super disappointing and that game was tough to watch boy game seven but again you guys were not expected to be at the beginning of the season. I don't think anyone said Raptors, I'm sorry Raptors, Boston Celtics, you know, NBA finalists, conference finalists. It's supposed to be a off year for you guys. They're pretty damn good. So, you know, I'm not, I'm not going to hate.

I'm going to keep my Celtics, Nix, Philadelphia, 76ers hate to a minute.

I'm just congratulate my best friend right now. But, boy, Mike, Saturday was a long day of combat sports, wasn't it? Man. Yeah, just to let people know. So, like, I'm very happy of doing the show with Mike

because we didn't really get to work together on Saturdays.

You know, normally the whole team's working on weekends together.

Very disjointed. Mike and Damon were kind of covering UFC Perth early in the morning plus the in-of-way fight. And then Jed and I hopped on the evening for PFL Sioux Falls and David Benavides to putting on a great performance. So, you know, good, good and combat was also happening. And somewhat eventful. I mean, some cool stuff and some dumb stuff happened. So, yeah, it's been, it was a long day, but we're back. We're on the same page. I wish we could have recorded on Saturday, like after Perth, but no way that timing worked out. I mean, you guys were up so you guys needed to just immediately get arrested after and, uh, Jed and I didn't hop on until later. And I sat through game bread

before that. You did. So like, so you all were Meriden fight to like almost 1 a.m. That's crazy.

So I got so he went out there and like did his job. He knew the assignment. Like, let's just

get out of here and be done with this entire situation. And he did. He got it. So he went out there and like did his job. He knew the assignment like let's just get out of here and be done with this entire situation. And he did. He got one tackle through one punch, broke a man's jaw and the fight was over. So I was happy. Got a few hours sleep and then rolled right into God. DeZone was awful yesterday with their production was was atrocious.

I've never seen anything with such magnitude being produced so poorly in my life.

I could not believe it.

But NUA's great.

Card wasn't bad.

The NUA fight was fun.
