They're in your corner with unlimited 5G data. That will not slow you down. So Dana White's announcing fights yesterday and he announced Carlos Albert versus Jerry Prochazka for the UFC light heavyweight championship. Look, that's important. That's a great fight. We know that your can fight knockout just about anybody in the light heavyweight division outside of Alex Pereira, who we will get to. We know that Carlos Alberg has been on an absolute tear. We know that this is the type of fight that Miami deserves. Every year Miami gets fantastic fight cards and this one lives up to it. And while all that's being said, right, I'm sitting at the state wrestling tournament and I'm waiting for this announcement of the fights. I love the fight, but immediately all I can think about is how are they fighting for the light heavyweight title win. Wait, Alex is the champ? Alex just won the belt back. Alex was so mad that he lost it. He had to go get it back and get it back in dominant fashion. Then I start putting two and two together. I see Alex Brer on the scale the other day, he weighs 245 pounds. And I'm like, well, what did they give him? What are they promising him, right? To make him say, giving up the belt. I'm going to do something different. Here's what's so interesting, right? Because what Dana did not announce is what's next for Pereira. But all the clues, when you follow the lines, they seem to be adding up to something pretty damn big. Because he's gained all this weight, he's giving up the belt. Which, by the way, guys, when we think about all the things right now, you know that when someone's chasing another belt, they don't get to keep their belt. That's what, that's step number one. That tells me Alex Per must be going up, right? He weighs over 240 something pounds. Well, that's not abnormal. We've seen him do that before. So that's why the initial thing wasn't to jump to, oh, my God, he's gonna fight a heavyweight. We've seen him big before. We've seen him heavy on the scale before. Before he was heavy on the scale, went back to two or five. But then when you give up the belt, Ilia did it when he wanted the second belt. Last guy to try to become a double champ was Volk. I think when he fought Islam the first time, I don't think they made him give up the belt, but when Ilia decided he wanted to go up, gave up the belt. When Islam decided to go up, gave up the belt. So is this officially Alex Pereira going up to heavyweight? Is this officially Alex Pereira throwing his name in the hat? We know right now that the heavyweight champion, Tom Aspinall, is still dealing with the effects of the eye injury. He's still dealing with it. We know that Jon Jones said that he was retired, found out about the White House, said that he's coming back. These are all facts. These aren't things that I'm making up here. These are all facts. John said he's back getting tested. He said he's there for the White House if they will let him. We know now that Alex Pereira has given up the light heavyweight title, weighs 245 pounds, all facts. You take those facts and you start to put the puzzle together. Tom Aspinall's out, or at least it seems that way. John Jones is in testing pool. Alex Pereira weighs 245. Could we get that Fight. Could we get the fight that we've all been asking for? Could we get Jon Jones versus Alex Pereira? I thought that the best fight between the two would be Pereira versus Jones at 205, but I think what we're seeing is if this fight is to happen, and I still don't know if it will, Pereira is just a guy that's going to do anything. She just is a dog. And he wants to fight the best and he'll fight the best at any weight class. It really is amazing to watch an old school road warrior like that in today's mixed martial arts. Alex Ferreira is one of those guys that says, show me the weight, I'll show up and I'll give you a fight. Now, maybe I'm. Maybe I'm. Maybe I'm selling you a dream. Maybe it's not Jon Jones, but who is it? Because right now you just saw a guy in Carlos Olberg who's on a long winning streak that could have fall for the belt fighting a guy that's a former champion on light heavyweight. Say it's not Jones and Aspinall's out. Who do you put Pereira in there with? Is it Cyril gone? Is it Cyril gone? Because to me, I don't think it matters who he's fighting. I think what matters to me is that Alex Pereira has given up that belt and it seems like he's going to fight at heavyweight. And if he's fighting at heavyweight, if he's fighting at heavyweight, I repeat myself, if he's getting a title opportunity, because again, I don't think, I don't think that Pereira would give up his belt just to go take a fight, right? I don't think a guy just gives up a belt to go take a fight. So if he is fighting at heavyweight and if he is going to get an opportunity to fight for the heavyweight championship, who is it? Is it Cyril? Is it Jones? Because like I said, Aspinall's out. And if it is Cyril gone. If it is Cyril gone. How does that sit with you, considering what happened in the fight between Cyril and Tom Aspinall? I don't care who it is, though. I want to see a guy chase a third title. We haven't had that. We haven't had a guy hold a belt in three weight classes. Pereira is saying right now I have that opportunity, or at least it seems that way. At least it seems that way because I'm telling you right now, as a guy that was a champion, if I was told, vacate your belt, I would Want an absolute guarantee that I would be pursuing another belt, right? They always say a bird in the hand, A bird in the hand, a bird in the hand. It's better than going to chase. We don't give the one in the hand up to go and just fight or go and just be out there, right? It's got to make sense. So when I look at everything, when I take the whole picture in, I dream first and I cross my fingers and I wish that it is Jones versus Pereira, but I also stay. I also stay cautious in the idea that if it doesn't happen, it's someone else. And if it is someone else, it has to be Cyril gone, right? Because who else, who else could there be to fight Alex Pereira? But big news, that's massive. That's massive that he's up, that he's 245 pounds and that he vacated the championship. Because if he vacated that title, guys, I'm telling you, I believe that he's gonna fight for the world title. Big news is happening, and we're just like, they gave us a little bit, right? They gave me a little bit, got me excited. But give me the rest. Let me. Let me. Let me know what's going on. Like, we all sitting here as fans of this thing, and we wanted those fighting for the heavyweight championship. And, man, how bad is Tom Aspinall hurt, really? He must be hurt really, really bad, because if I'm the heavyweight champion, I'm seeing all this going on. I'm, like, antsy and like, yo, I want to. I mean, I want to fight. I'm the champ. You know, I'm the champ. Crazy stuff. But what if Ferreira wins and you have been a champion in three way glasses? That is crazy. That's crazy because this was only supposed to be the guy that was getting his first title fight because he had fought Izzy before. This was not supposed to be. This is a crazy story. The Alex Pereira story. Guys, in the comments, let me know who you think is going to be. Is it going to be Jones, or is it going to be gone? I think those are the only two options. Until next time.

Julian Edelman
This is Julian Edelman from Games With Names. I want to take a second to talk about something that's personal to me. I've had the privilege of working closely with Robert Kraft for a long time, and one thing I've always respected is how seriously he takes up standing up to hate. As a Jewish athlete, my identity is something I am proud of, but I also know what it feels like to be singled out for it. That's why this new commercial for the Blue Square Alliance Against Hate that aired during the Big Game really hit home. It's about showing up for someone when they're targeted, even if you don't have the perfect words. And sometimes standing next to someone is enough. And you can show support by sharing the Blue Square
