| 0:00.0 | Ooi,oy, it's your boy, the Diego Lopez of Giving Up All Hopes. |
| 0:06.8 | Jack Slack, it's the Jack Slack podcast, and we're coming at you following UFC 325, |
| 0:13.9 | phoning it in for the Aussies. |
| 0:16.7 | I think I went 27 minutes on the preview of this one. |
| 0:20.0 | I'm hoping I can get 25 out of the recap because this was not a strong card. |
| 0:26.4 | And it was main evented by a fight that most people went, |
| 0:29.9 | hmm, are you sure about that? |
| 0:32.8 | You've got Alexander Volkinovsky, one of the all-time greats of the sport. |
| 0:37.3 | Don't get into the, you know, who's the featherweight goat stuff. But he, one of the all-time greats of the sport. Don't get into the, |

| 1:19.2 | So it was a strange matchup. |
| 1:21.3 | People pointed at the excitement of the first fight |
| 1:23.1 | because there were two moments where Volcanovsky got into trouble, |
| 1:27.1 | which allowed Lopez to take two |
| 1:29.2 | rounds on a couple of cards. But this one was cruise control. I think Volcanowski, on the |
| 1:36.0 | official score cards, got every round. I struggled to give Diego Lopez like a convincing round. |
