Summary

We know what you’re thinking: If only you could find a couple dudes willing to spend another hour of everyone’s lives talking about a UFC 151 card that will never happen, right? Good news, wishful thinker, this week the Co-Main Event Podcast devotes damn near an entire episode to – English nerd buzzword alert! – deconstructing this very topic. Along the way Ben and Chad analyze Jon Jones’ inexplicable decision to refuse a short notice bout with Chael P. Sonnen, expound on why Bones still isn’t to blame for the cancelation of the entire fight card and wonder aloud how/why in the wake of this madness matchmakers could just keep hitting the middleweight piñata until Vitor Belfort dropped out like so much candy. Plus, the return of Sir Nigel Longstock and Master Tweet Theatre as well as Just Sayin’ Stuff. Not going to lie, episode 15 is a blockbuster. Learn more about your ad choices.

0:44.9	you won't, you don't even want to know how many different variations of pronunciations on my
0:50.0	name I will answer to. I know people who I've known them for five years. There's still calling Ben Falcons.
0:55.3	I'm not going to say anything.
0:57.8	You're telling me.
0:58.9	Anyway, we come to you this week on the heels of what was a one of the more unique weeks, I think, in the history of mixed martial arts.
1:08.6	It was by turns interesting and, for lack of a better word, retarded.
1:14.0	It was fast-paced and just fatiguing, mind-numbing.
1:19.8	Especially considering that nothing really happened, fight-wise.
1:23.6	Yeah, yeah, yeah. Nothing happened at all, and yet it was one of them.
1:26.9	Yet so much happened. Yeah.
1:29.2	We'll never be the same. I think we can say that right now.
1:31.6	I would like to say that people showed their best qualities and their worst qualities,
1:35.6	but I'm pretty sure everyone just showed their worst qualities.
1:37.4	Yeah, pretty much all the way around.
1:38.8	Friends became enemies, enemies became friends. Oh, all that.
