| 0:00.0 | Ooi, it's you boy. |
| 0:03.0 | The Elvis Brenner of Lenders Atena, Jack Slack is the Jack Slack podcast, and we're coming out here following UFC Abu Dhabi. |
| 0:12.0 | Back on Fight Island, but not Fight Island. The Etihad Arena. |
| 0:16.0 | Interesting event, some good fights, some awful fights shoved on there because they had good fights on there. |
| 0:22.0 | We're very mercifully escaped, washed Nick Diaz versus post-brain-bleed Vicente Luke, |
| 0:28.6 | which is always good. |
| 0:31.0 | But I think I said this on the boycast. |
| 0:32.4 | When the UFC booked Connor McGregor sold a higher gate than ever before and then Connor McGregor's fight fell through. |

| 1:28.7 | other for more than a year. And I went in expecting a good technical fight and I came out |
