0:11.3	Another special episode if you're welcome. Look, I'm back in the studio this week and
0:15.3	I got quite a lot to say. Coming up on today's program, I'm going to give you some he said
0:19.7	she said between Conor McBrigger and Dana White Plus. I'm going to tell you what Paulo
0:25.0	Cossack's next opponent reminds me of Hosmek Chimaya. Those stories and more are coming
