| 0:00.0 | All right guys, so we're in Las Vegas. You have to see Fight Night, Luke A versus |
| 0:18.0 | Half the Old Los Angeles and I saw something today that was very interesting and it caught |
| 0:24.6 | my attention. So I want to kind of talk to you guys about it a little bit. So Sean O'Malley |
| 0:30.0 | said that he is in the midst of releasing something that's going to blow the minds off of people. |
| 0:36.9 | Now before I get into this, I got to give you guys a bit of a disclaimer, right? I have been |
| 0:42.2 | with the same management company my entire career. The Wayne Zinkin and Bob Cook, Zinkin Entertainment. |
| 0:47.6 | They've always managed me from day one all the way to today where I don't even fight anymore and |
| 0:53.0 | they take part along with another company and my television career because as I moved into the |
| 0:59.6 | TV part of my career, we talking to Wayne and Bob were open to me finding someone that lived in |

| 1:55.3 | performance of the night three times against Deepay, Volcanoes de Mir, Rumble Johnson. That would |
| 2:02.4 | equate to $250,000 in bonuses. Now, I'm no Justin Gachi but that is a good amount of bonuses for |
| 2:10.1 | the amount of fights that I had in the UFC. The Wayne and Bob took nothing of that and the reality is |
| 2:15.9 | I'm not praising them for that because they shouldn't have taken anything from that. |
| 2:22.1 | Arsenal Connors, another one, young athlete that we just signed that's going to be making this |
| 2:27.3 | pro debut and I believe that he's going to be fantastic. But back to the point, they should not be |
