You're listening to the co-main event podcast on NMA America.com.

And now your host, Chad Dundas, and Ben Folks.

That's right.

Welcome to the debut episode of the co-main event mixed martial arts podcast.

I'm your co-host, Chad Dundas.

You may know me for my work over at ESPN.com, where I provide, I would say, near-daily

MMA writing.

If you don't know me from there, I don't know what your problem is.

You should get over there and check me out because I'm awesome. Sitting across the me from there. I don't know what your problem is. Uh, you should get over there and, and check me out because, uh, I'm awesome. Um, sitting across the table for me at this time

is your other co-host for the co-main event podcast. I know you know this guy from

MMAfighting.com. It's Ben, how are you today? I'm great. I feel like we're off to a great start here already. You've insulted our audience.

And yeah, I feel like that should set the level of expectation for everyone here.

Now, right off the top, we should probably make the point that while you work for MMA fighting and while I work for ESPN.com, this show has absolutely nothing to do with either of those websites. The opinions

expressed here, they're essentially the sole musings of the co-hosts, you and I. I don't

even necessarily claim that they're my opinions. I might borrow opinions from other people,

bring them onto this show. And the listeners should not under any circumstances assume that they

reflect in any way negatively or otherwise

Assume nothing on any of our various employers. Don't even think about our opinions. In fact we are not being paid to be here

No, sadly we are not we are not being compensated in any way

You didn't even offer me a glass of water when I came over here nor should we be I guess

It should be pointed out that you and I have no broadcast experience. No. Between the two of us.

Well, no, I was on a public access thing for high school football once. It didn't go well.
