0:19.5	I was there as many of you know supporting Mickey Gall and Phil was there with a bunch of
0:27.5	fighters I believe I think he had a few fighters on that card which is not uncommon for him to have more than one fighter fighting at an event because he is the head strength and conditioning coach at American top team in Coconut Creek, Florida, which is one of, if not the top
0:48.5	MMA training facility in the world. It's like a who's who over there of professional
0:56.4	MMA fighters and the Phil has worked with them all. You name it he's worked with him. You could go down the list. Dustin Poirier, who's currently ranked number three, I believe in the in the UFC's lightweight division he works very closely with

2:15.6	it would take me an entire podcast for me to just like list all the fighters that
2:20.5	Phil has worked with and is currently working with so I won't do that just
2:26.6	know he's worked with a who's who in the world of MMA and so he's got unmatched experience in that world but also has the
