What's happening, guys? Happy Tuesday. And thank you for joining. Another special episode of your welcome. UFC 313 is in the books. But ladies and gentlemen, whether you like it or not, we have a new light heavyweight champion.

So what the heck went wrong with Alex Piera?

I'm going to get it all of that. Plus, Tom Aspinall has confirmed that John Jones fight is on.

So much to get to on today's program.

Let's start with this.

And new! Wow.

I must tell you, what happened to the good old day?

What happened to the good old day when the biggest star in the sport could go out there

and underperform a little bit and that the judges would give a screw job to the less

popular guy?

What happened to the good old day when it was a popularity contest disguised as a prize fight?

I mean, I got to tell you, not for nothing, but I could tell you plenty of times throughout

history and I could tell you plenty of administrations and judges

and cycles that we've been through or Alex Pierre would still be wearing that belt.

I saw this happen one week ago.

It was called the Tank Davis fight.

Pretty awesome.

Pretty cool that we would have administrators courage enough to say what they saw and nothing

And I know you take that for granted. And I think, gee, why are you talking about that? Of course that's what they do. Well, of course that's what they're supposed to do. No, you'd have been very well within your means if you studied the history of fighting when that fight was over between Uncle Ive and Pierre and you were to predict, not who won, not you can ask who won, you were to predict who the judges are going to say one. Many, many, decades upon decades, you'd have been the smart and reasonable one to say they're going to keep the belt around Pierre. And if you ever get called on it, you just use an old adage that is not a rule, and you just go and look at the cameras and act like it is a rule, which is to beat the champion. You really got to beat the champion, which just means we screw the champion. That's all that means. We screwed the other guy to protect the champion. That's all that's ever meant. There's no rule. You've got to really take it to the champion. No, it's just, you pretend it's a rule when you're getting ready to

the screw job. Listen, the world's a very interesting place. It's a very strange place, but in the

world of fighting, guys, I'm not sure that the Alex Piera that I saw tonight isn't the greatest
