0:00.0	The iconic voice of Esther Lynn welcomes you to a brand new edition of Between the
0:26.7	Links. Hope you're having a great week back to the old roundtable episodes this week, which I
0:31.7	enjoy very much because we just press record, we shoot the breeze, discuss the big stories in MMA,
0:37.6	the important stories going on in the world of mixed martial arts, and there are a bunch of them.
0:42.4	I am my kek and I'm being joined by a man who might just be in the best mood he will ever be in
0:48.4	on the show after he set the table for the Georgia Bulldogs football team and now he and the Bulldogs
0:55.6	can proudly say that they are the reigning undisputed champions of their fields. Mr. Jed Machu,
1:02.2	the BTO champion of the universe. How are you my man? Man, it has been a good couple of weeks for

1:53.6	I will be the first to go on the record. Bam is going to win the national championship next year.
2:00.2	I would bet a sizable sum of money on that but they can't take this one from us just like you
2:07.2	and nobody can take Julianna Pena for me so everything is great, Mike. How are you doing?
2:13.9	I am doing great my man and there is a lot to discuss and I don't even know where to start with
2:20.6	all of this because a lot has happened in the world of MMA. A lot has happened since your
2:25.0	coronation, gentlemen, but I guess we should start with the main event for UFC 272 in March which
2:32.7	we talked about last week and there was a whole different event altogether because last week we were
2:37.8	talking Volcanowski versus Holloway. We're talking Sterling versus John, the rematch. Those were the
