0:16.1	Welcome to the Mike Dolcee Show.
0:17.9	Episode 81 sitting here with my man, A-RAM.
0:21.5	Adrian Ramirez, Johnny Hendricks, head strength coach, and the head strength coach for team takedown. How's it going, man? Thank you for having me on your show. Absolutely, man. Good to see you once again. We saw each other not too long ago there with a fight week. Yeah, that was good times. Great moment. So for those that don't know, Adrian is Johnny's long-term strength coach.
0:20.5	His strength coach.
0:38.6	His strength coach the entire time he's been in mixed martial arts after the transition

They have to work probably twice as hard to keep that weight off because they don't have anyone telling them what to do, what time to wake up, when to come to practice. So they're coddled in college. Exactly. You know, and sometimes that can be good, though, you know what I mean? Because, like, you have a strong team, just like, you know, our team team takedown we like to kind of cater the athlete to do everything we can so he could perform at his
