| 0:00.0 | Ooi, it's your boy, the Yusuf Zalal of Only Thoughts That are Halal. |
| 0:06.0 | Jack Slack, it's the Jack Slack podcast, and we're coming at you following UFC Apex Trash, |
| 0:13.0 | Canineer versus Rodriguez, and I do have to say shout out, Canineer and Rodriguez, |
| 0:17.0 | for putting on a fight that was well beyond what this card would lead you to expect |
| 0:22.6 | and probably what this lineup deserved. They really did. |
| 0:26.6 | Them big boys was banging, is what I'd say. |
| 0:29.6 | Other stuff happened on the card. |
| 0:31.6 | Pretty unremarkable. |
| 0:33.6 | You know, the couple of good fighters that we saw might be prospects showed that they were quite interesting. |
| 0:39.7 | And the Bonfim brothers did some bomb fim in. |
| 0:42.9 | But I don't expect I'll go long today because not an awful lot happened. |
| 0:45.5 | But we'll start with the main event because on this card that almost nobody saw, |

| 1:06.2 | you know, Cole Conrad or a Romanov or Lewis or Mays or any other of the countless heavyweight fat |
| 1:16.5 | slabs. He looked like a big dude in a real sense, but then he cut down to light heavyweight and |
| 1:20.8 | we all went, oh yeah, that makes more sense. And then he said he was going to cut to middleweight. |
| 1:24.5 | And I remember at the time saying, I think this guy might die. I think he might die cutting to middleweight. And then he made it comfortably, beat the piss out of Dave Branch, beat Jack Hermanson, who was on a really hot streak at the time, and established himself as a middleweight contender. And that was like seven years ago, I think. But then he came to the center of the cage here against Gregory Rodriguez, Robocop, and I knew Rodriguez was like a big strong guy, but he towered over Cannonier, |
| 1:50.8 | and he looked about twice as wide as him. So that dude must cut a lot of weight and do it well. |
| 1:56.0 | But then cutting weight is a martial art in itself. In fact, I was having a laugh earlier this week because |
