0:00.0	The iconic voice of Esther Lynn welcomes you to a brand new edition of Between the Links
0:27.8	as we record and drop this on Tuesday. Not much to discuss in terms of the major MMA landscape
0:35.6	from this past weekend, but a lot of storylines coming out of combat sports for sure after Saturday
0:41.2	night in beautiful scenic Hollywood, Florida. And then this weekend the UFC and Bellator both have
0:47.3	events on Saturday. We have ourselves a good old-fashioned infighting here on the show this week
0:54.1	as we introduce the challenger, one of the winningest players in the history of the program. And
0:58.6	that's over multiple iterations of the show. One half of the combat sports social media tag team
1:04.9	champions of the world from MMA fighting, Mr. Jose Young's. Jose, welcome back, my friend.

1:53.5	wherever we heard that before. But back on the show himself, looking to make it another successful
1:58.9	title defense. A man who was victorious in that aforementioned tag team matchup. This man has
2:03.9	been on a terrace of late fiery takes. And this man is truly Mr. No Grey area also for MMA fighting
2:10.4	dot com. Mr. Jed mischewed. Jed, how are you, my friend? Mike, I'm already mad at you. And then
2:16.3	you're going to pretend like like Jose's one who's been ripped off by K. C. C. C.'s job is
