Our reporter and his blonde companion sit in the Man In The Hat's office at Front Street.
Reporter: "So, Wiz, you've been defending a couple of belts most of this year, so we haven't really talked about title shots..."
Man In The Hat (smiling): "Go ON..."
Reporter: "Still eight months to go after April winds up. Are you thinking you might be in the picture somewhere?"
Man In The Hat: "Well, we haven't really gotten any traction on the beach yet..."
Tess: "But, you keep trying..."
Man In The Hat: "And, that won't change. Our days of stepping away are over. I think we may be on the outside lookin' in at light, though that could change as the year goes on. Obviously, we're in the mix at JMD/D..."
Tess: "And, you've got girls right there at bantam, as usual..."
Man In The Hat: "We do. Always our strongest division. And, we'd be open to any offers regarding the Ice Hotel..."
Reporter: "What about welter?"
Man In The Hat (shaking his head): "We aren't there yet. Haven't really broken through into that elite. We're workin' on it, and, maybe, one of these days, we'll get it done. But, until we do? Well. We need to be patient. And, you know what ELSE you have to be patient about? Chef's grilled steaks..."
Tess: "Let's GO!"

It is worth noting, your fighters ARE having an impact on the welter title picture. Elyse Levesque WAS the frontrunner to challenge Tahnee for the title in May. Taylor's victory at the Asylum changed that. if you don't think that one of your fighters is ready to capitalize on that opportunity, we will respect that. But it is worth noting that Tahnee's path to the welter belts dramatically shifts the usual order of the division: 1)Upton and Ferguson lost their titles to start the year. 2) Lively, Lawley and Righetti have been beaten by Tahnee in the last three months. 3) Rhoda and Decker have JUST snapped losing streaks and can't be considered to be in championship shape until they string a few wins together. 4) Kostek did not look good defending the Ice Hotel against Dale, even though she did win. All the usual suspects at welter are off the table for now. I know who Tahnee will be facing in May. In July, she needs to defend the Queen of the Beach title on the Boiling Point PPV. The prime suspects to be her challenger are Kostek and Upton. If they want to try to knock each other off the pedestal, OR IF ANYONE ELSE WANTS TO TRY TO SUPPLANT THEM, they absolutely should. I will leave with this, all 8 of these fighters will come out of the penalty box in August or September at the latest. Any welter looking to establish themselves in the welterweight title picture has a narrow window to build themselves up or knock these fighters + Brianna Dale down before the normal order of the welter division reasserts itself. Now is not the time to play it safe. Now is the time to make that high risk-high reward pairing. The opportunities are there to be made! Here are your targets, ladies!
