    Hey uncle Chael I have a question for you! Who fumbled their title match harder? Silva when he lost the first match against Weidman or Prochazka when he lost to Ulberg? Love from Denver, CO

    If Jon Jones wants to represent his country one more time and Alex gave up his belt to fight for a belt. What if the UFC makes a new GOAT belt. Jon could retire with this belt and/or Alex could move on in heavy weight with this new belt. What do you think?

**Prochazka–Ulberg Has Two Wrong Guys, Moicano's YouTube Test & Ask Uncle Chael**
