Hola Ariel, the BITB & PT,

Since it’s not clearly not a done deal for Topuria to fight Islam next, can we re dissect his move of vacating? Do you think he was trying to force the UFC’s hand to give him the title shot? It seems like they may have told him “not yet,” and he tried to take matters into his own hands.

If they don’t give him the immediate shot, what do they do with him promotionally? He’s got to headline right? But they so rarely headline a PPV without a belt attached. Could he be a 5rd co-main at international fight week? Curious to hear all your thoughts. These are just my best guesses currently.

ARIEL/FRANK! I just installed Substack solely for On the Nose. I’ll keep it as short as I can. No one I know has much interest in UFC (besides my one boss who thinks Miocic’s first loss was to Weidman) you guys are like my internet friends, and I really enjoy when you speak of your children and how much they mean to you because I’m expecting my first child in a month!

MY QUESTION IS; how old were your children when you first allowed them to watch Combat Sports with you?
