Summary

With an actual, honest-to-goodness interesting pay-per-view card coming on Saturday at UFC 209, the Co-Main Event Podcast has much to talk about. Tyron Woodley and Stephen Thompson prepare to rematch over the welterweight title, after their initial meeting at UFC 205 ended in a hard-fought majority draw. In addition to that, Khabib Nurmagomedov takes on Tony Ferguson in a bout that feels like a No. 1 contender fight long in the making--but is actually another weirdo interim title fight, since the UFC seems to have no idea what is going on with its regular 155-pound champion. The evening’s curtain-jerker will feature Mark Hunt and Alistair Overeem as they attempt to have the perfect UFC heavyweight fight. So yeah, Ben and Chad are ready. Let’s do this. All that, plus AYFKM and JSS. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

0:44.3	Weekend off gave me just enough time to remember all the awesome stuff going down at UFC 209
0:49.2	and get me all excited for it, which ideally should be how this is supposed to work. Now, wait a second. Don't shortchange this stretch that we're on now, because when you say
0:56.7	you're excited for UFC 209, I assume that you are also excited for Vitor Belford versus

1:23.6	Yeah, okay, yeah, that's pretty cool.
1:25.5	Then Vitor, Belfort, and Kelvin Gastilum, I mean, that's the one that keeps you up at night.
