Summary

With Sir Nigel Longstock still missing – and last heard from somewhere in the wilds of Iowa – Ben and Chad go it alone this week as the Co-Main Event Podcast officially hits doubled digits. Without the crutch of MasterTweet Theatre to fall back on, the guys have no choice but to “unpack” (to use a particularly galling word common in academia) and discuss the many stinging disappointments of UFC 149. From Renan Barao celebrating like he won the Super Bowl when he captured the interim bantamweight title to Urijah Faber dropping his fifth straight championship fight to a convoluted analogy about the UFC running a car lot where all the cars cost the same – it’s all in here. Plus, the origin story of the CME White Elephant Essay Contest grand prize, tips for a well-rounded fight fan and just saying stuff. Seriously, you’ll be kicking yourself if you miss this one.

0:00.0	You're listening to the Co-Main Event Podcast, and now your host, Ben Polks and Chad Dunnett.
0:15.8	That's right. You are tuned in to another exciting episode of the co-main event podcast.
0:22.7	Episode 10.
0:23.6	It is episode 10.
0:24.7	We've reached double digits, although I should point out that it was your idea for me to stop saying the number of the episode, what, two weeks ago?
0:33.0	Yeah, but I mean, okay, maybe my idea should be taken more.
0:37.4	When we get to episode 157, then it's going to look ridiculous.
0:41.6	But episode 10, you know, a lot of people out there said we'd never make it this far.
0:46.1	Typically, I do take your ideas as more of suggestions than hard and fast rules or demands.
0:52.8	Anyway, I'm Chad Dundas from ESPN.com.
0:55.4	The other lilting voice that you hear on this week's episode of the podcast, as usual,
1:00.9	your friend and mine, MMA Fighting Zone, Ben, folks.
1:04.3	Ben, how are you?
1:06.2	Well, aside from coming off one of the worst UFC events in recent memory, which I'm sure we will get to very shortly, I'm excellent.
1:15.8	But look, man, no way around it. That was a shitty Saturday night, was it not?
1:21.1	We are about 48 hours removed from UFC 149, an event that I think underwhelmed and disappointed everyone. As you might expect,
1:29.5	that will be the primary topic of discussion on today's show. In round one, we will talk about
1:34.5	Yeraya Faber's fifth consecutive UFC and WEC title loss, title fight loss, this one in an interim
1:41.8	bout against Henan Barrao. We will talk about Barow and his
1:46.1	chances against Dominic Cruz, the future of favor, et cetera, et cetera. In round two, we'll discuss
1:51.3	Hector Lombards supremely underwhelming and disappointing. I think those are the two words I
1:55.9	used to describe the whole pay-per-view, right? Underwhelming and disappointing. Well, you added
