I think she's brilliant.
Ronda Rousey that we saw a few weeks ago turning up under Jake Paul's banner.
Those are the things that interest me.
But the problem with the UFC for me at the moment, and I think the problem that they have in general with sort of longer term or hardcore fans, is the fact that the fighters are now taking second place.
And their personalities aren't being allowed to develop to the point where they become a star like Ireland's Conor McGregor became a star.
That's actually really dangerous for the UFC.
And you'll note that many of the people who reach the level that McGregor and John Jones and Ronda Rousey reached, once they reach that level, they actually don't fight much after that.
Because all of a sudden, then the UFC has to pay them the kind of money that heavyweight boxers get.
And they absolutely don't want to do that because that affects the bottom line much more than paying $60 million for a White House card would do.
The card itself...
It's okay.
You know, I mean, like I always like to watch the title fights and that kind of thing, but there's nothing really there that appeals to me.
What I've started to do now, and I think this is sort of the worst sort of grade I could give it.
I used to stay up all night to watch everything.
You might have 15 fights and I would watch absolutely every one of them.
Now I get up at, you know, five or six o'clock in the European morning here and I'll watch the main event or maybe the co-main event of that.
But I think I'll actually be in America when this card happens, so I'll watch it.
But it'll kind of be watching, a little bit like Dave watching a wrestler and not wanting to explain to his housemates.
I'll be watching it through my fingers and just hoping that it all ends without getting too much cringe factor involved.
Well, the first thing is, I hope he didn't use chat GPT for his 40,000 words, because otherwise he will then be labeled a hypocrite.
