**If Pereira Wins the Belt — What's Next? Jon Jones Almost Gets Himself Killed & The Portal is Full of Bad Dirt**

Chael lays out the uncomfortable truth nobody wants to say out loud: if Alex Pereira beats Ciryl Gane at the White House, the UFC has absolutely no idea what to do with him. Tom's got an eye injury, Eddie Hearn, and a new manager telling him don't sign anything — so do you just hand Pereira the undisputed belt via press release? Because that's where this is headed. Meanwhile Jon Jones pulled over in a parking lot to teach a stranger the rules of the road with his hand in his pocket, and his PR team somehow made him the hero. Chael's not buying it. Plus why Jiri Prohaska should be embarrassed — you're the light heavyweight champion defending your belt this Saturday on a brand new network, and you spent your interview talking about a guy who beat you twice and left the division. That is not a champion. That is a mark. Moicano is the most slept-on name in the Conor sweepstakes, and why the NCAA Transfer Portal is basically the MLS listing for bad dirt.
