For better or worse, I am back from vacation.

It was a long and much-needed break, but alas, it's come to a close. While I was gone, the UFC debuted on Fox Sports 1, Nick Newell earned a win on NBC Sports and the MMA world kept turning.

There's also a ton of MMA events on the horizon. Many of them, in fact. The second and third Fox Sports 1 shows will take place over the next ten days and a rematch of arguably the greatest WEC fight ever is also set to happen in just a little over a week.

There's a lot going on, so join me today to discuss all of this and more. In terms of today's chat, anything is up for discussion, but I will lead with this and it all kicks off at 1 p.m. ET.

As is customary, I'll post the video window here as the event draws near and I'll answer any questions you may have if you post them in the comments section below. Be sure that you click the 'rec' button for those comments/questions you believe most deserve a response.

Be sure to link this page and use the hashtag #chatwrappers on Twitter or even Facebook when you're watching this to let everyone know you're taking part is this activity of ours.

Talk with you all at 1 p.m. ET.
