0:00.0	How do you feel when you switch to Geico and save on your car insurance? It's like going to work
0:05.2	on one Thursday morning and thinking to yourself just one more day until Friday. But then somebody
0:11.3	in the elevator says, happy friday. Then you check your phone quickly and discover today is
0:16.7	actually Friday. So yes, happy friday, random stranger in the elevator. Happy Friday indeed.
0:24.1	Yep, switching and saving with Geico feels just like that. Get more with Geico.
0:36.2	What's happening, guys?
0:38.1	Happy Friday!
0:39.3	And thank you for joining another special episode if you're welcome.
0:43.0	It has been a crazy week of fight news and coming off the heels of UFC 288.
0:48.6	I want to talk on today's show about the callout by Frivolta aimed at Patty the Batty and whether or not Patty
0:55.7	accepted it plus Colby Covington has made quite the callout himself and I'm
1:00.5	also hearing rumors that were close to booking Jamal Hill and Yuri Prohaska
1:05.4	lots to get into on today's show everybody. Let's begin here.

1:46.5	and this is a literal statement by me, nobody that I'm aware of that I can think of off the top of my head at least has thrown rounds away. That's a thing. That's a thing in wrestling. You will find places to eat up time. Maybe you're trying to catch your breath. Maybe it's strategy. Maybe you've got all the points that you need. You just got to run the clock out. But there are places where you're not trying to beat the guy for right now, whether it's for 30 seconds or for an entire round or you're
1:51.8	trying to stall the better part of a matchaway. I can't think of a time in MMA where that's
1:57.2	happened. As a matter of fact, as a wrestler, it's one of the major distinctions
2:00.9	in the sport of wrestling and not a fighting. Wrestling is so difficult. Six minutes high school,
2:09.2	seven minutes college by example. But a guy is just trying to score points on you. No matter how
2:15.7	fatigued you get as bad as it's going to get is the guy is going to try to score points on you. In MMA, he's trying to score points on you. No matter how fatigued you get as bad as it's going to get is the
2:17.8	guy is going to try to score points on you. In MMA, he's trying to damage you. Say it's a 15-minute
