Happy Tuesday!

Time to answer some questions. Surely, you know the drill by now.

As always, hit me with your best questions below. As always, everything and anything goes. I’ll answer ‘em on Wednesday’s show.

Again, try to keep them short and sweet, if possible. That increases your chances of having the question answered.

And remember: my mate Louis Gilmour is the mod around these parts, and his job is to select the best 21 or so questions. Good luck, and make ‘em count!

See you TOMORROW on the MMAFighting YouTube channel!

What happened to Eagle FC? The website doesn’t show any upcoming US shows. The last one was May 20th. Where does Kevin Lee fit into this?

Warmest greetings to my favorite Content Creator,

My 24th birthday was Friday, but my celebration was overshadowed by the mishegoss surrounding 282 (10-7 Helwani). My perception is that the UFC is trying to inorganically create stars for the impending post-Conor era. Before social media, UFC stars made themselves with electric performances or cutting promos to make it onto YouTube compilations. The UFC is now inverting this formula: building fighters’ online fame and backing them into success. How do you think putting unproven fighters over, largely based on personality versus verifiable fight ability, will affect the UFC in the long run as it tries to build its next generation of PPV stars? I understand cultivating hype between fights, but continuous exposure without earning it creates artificially inflated expectations for fighters who may not be ready for it.

Thank you to the whole crew for always bringing some levity to my lonely cubicle.
