What's happening, guys?

Happy Friday!

I come to you from the beautiful streets of Westland, Oregon, but I'm about to get on an airplane.

Paramount has just announced a new program called Traveling with Chale, as it turns out, I'm Shale,

and I'm going to go do some traveling. We're going to go out to Miami. We're going to watch the

card. So much to talk about. A little bit of John Jones news. Going to take some fan questions,

going to break down the card that is very hard to pretend anyone is excited for.

One thing about this event, Yuri Prohaska and Carlos Olberg have failed at their job to make this fight interesting.

You know what?

Let's start right there.

Yuri Prohaska and Carlos Ulberg, guys, I'm not going to pretend that this is a huge fight that you're

dying to see. I will just remind you that it's very necessary. Like, we have to do this fight

because we have a vacated title in our perennial division. Boxing, if you were to argue over time,

you would argue the heavy weights of the perennial, right? Whether it was Mike Tyson,

Muhammad Ali. But in MMA, you could make a very strong argument that it's been light heavyweight.

That was the Chuck Liddell, Tito Ortiz, Randy Couture, Kevin Randleman, Frank Shamrock. I mean,

just to remind you, that's always been a perennial division. And many people feel that we've been placed in this

spot. We've been placed in this spot because our champion left. We've got a vacated title and

vacated titles just aren't interesting. No, I don't think you're right. I think you got

Prohaska and Olberg and they're not interesting. I'm not looking to be a dick about it. By the way,

I'm just sharing for you if Alex

Pierre would have stayed there when it was Pierre versus Olberg, it's not like your problems
