| 0:00.0 | What's up everybody? Welcome to another episode of the Wayne N podcast, another live show. |
| 0:03.6 | I thought I would just drop something real quick. It's Friday. I know there's been like there's no one's real buzz. There's no real buzz about the UFC fight card. Even though I love the main event, I actually think the co-main event's probably me one of the best fights of the weekend, if not the best fight of the weekend. But I got, let's all be honest, this whole weekend is about MVP. And the reason why I'm supporting them so much, the reason why I want them to grow so much is |
| 0:24.4 | it gives, it gives competition to the UFC, that's one. |
| 0:27.7 | And let me just make this clear, though also to when I just said competition, what I meant |
| 0:31.4 | was not direct competition. |
| 0:33.2 | They're going to have to do something completely different to be able to acquire fighters that will be willing to come to their promotion. |
| 0:40.5 | But it's got to be big names. |
| 0:42.1 | If you're going to continue to do shows on Netflix and take $50 million, $60 million, $80 million from Netflix, you're going to have to produce big names. |

The Nate Diaz fight was potentially going to happen on this card. It was also potentially going to happen, you know, previously before. So I wanted to, you know, start running, start getting in shape. |
| 1:29.6 | We don't, we don to, you know, start running, start |
| 1:28.7 | getting in shape. We don't, we don't, we still remember how to fight. It's just a matter of |
