Ben Ascran makes his return. Ben Asker makes his return. He gets Balah Mohammed. I want to keep this

applause going because this is big news. Huge news. I'm going to keep playing him. Keep playing the

applause. Got to give this guy a hand, man. Keep giving this guy a hand. Keep giving him a hand.

So Ben Ascran making his tournament Roth wrestling, obviously Scott Coker announcing some things, but not all things on the Arrow Hawaiian show, on what he is doing, because he likes to keep things a little bit close to the best. And I've worked with him for over two decades now. And absolutely a fantastic human being. So I'm excited for him and his new venture. And you know, you never know. You never know.

But, you know, and then obviously we'll talk about UFC fight night at the apex coming

up this weekend with Balam Mohammed and Bomb Fien.

And the co-main event is actually a really good co-main event.

Evan Shabazi versus Brennan.

I'm looking forward to that fight as well.

So there's a, I would say for Brett and Allen,

it's like, stay in the mix of title implications and, uh, Edmond Shemaz and trying to break into the top 15. And can he actually defend takedowns and get up off the ground and do the things that he's needed to learn how to do for so long? He is still young. Yo, this is John Morgan.
