0:17.6	That's right. You're listening to another episode of the co-main event mixed martial arts podcast.
0:24.5	I'm your co-host from BleacherReport.com, Chad Dundas, and joining me as always, from
0:29.9	MMA, Junkie, and USA Today. It's your friend and mine, Mr. Ben, folks. Ben, it's episode 300 of the co-main event podcast, but I guess it's lucky that we didn't
0:41.2	have any big plans because, you know, in kind of classic fashion, the MMA world got
