Call Alex Pereira.
Oh, as always is the answer in the scenario.
Call Alex Pereira.
Alex versus who Magomed?
Get it out of the way.
It, that's what you would do if Magam doesn't want to take it.
Now, another opportunity for him to be sidelined if, if that's their, their mission.
Um I, I think you call Alex.
Listen, this, in my opinion favors Magomed more so than, than Alex.
If I'm Alex, I don't like this because a I probably need a little more time to prepare for someone like Magomed.
One thing to, to take a short notice fight against a striker or someone you've already fought and B Magomed.
Yeah, he just fought, I don't think too banged up.
Remember the litany of things that Alex talked about just a few weeks prior.
You know, the, the, the, the infection, the antibiotics, the toe, the ribs.
If I'm him.
Why, why would you take arguably your toughest test as a champion, light heavyweight or middleweight on a month's notice?
You've done them enough favors if I'm his team, unless they're throwing like $10 million at you.
Why are we doing that?
I was gonna say mo money like he, if he just got the most insane offer ever uh to come and do it.
But I actually, I do agree with you.
He's got all these plans for travel.
He's banged up.
He's already fought three times this year saving, you know, all three of those cards essentially.
Uh, as much as fun as it is to joke about it.
I, I don't see it happening whatever it costs honestly.
Yeah, if you did, if you did pay it, like you have this potential for this superstar to just keep going more and more nuclear.
Like if he, if he fights on this short notice and he beats Magam on Goliath, like it's just like it would be one of the greatest years in UFC history.
Like it would be the most, like how fast it would have taken him to get to four title defenses if he wins.
Like he would just be so nuclearly hot.
It'd be hard to imagine.
