You're listening to the co-main event podcast, and now your hosts, Ben Folks and Chad Dundas.

That's right. You're listening to another episode of the co-main event mixed martial arts podcast.

I'm your co-host, Chad Dundas, a longtime MMA journalist, novelist, and podcaster.

And joining me, as always, from MMA junkie and USA today, it's your friend and mine, Mr. Ben, folks.

Ben, we day of reckoned on Friday night.

Yeah, we did. Everybody mostly survived. Yeah, it was not bad. A good time was had by all.

You know, in a way, yeah. I'm not going to lie, the day of reckoning pay-per-view turned out to have a lot more downbeats than I had anticipated?

Are you specifically talking about when Matt Lindlin nearly got murdered by Vitor Belfort?

And then the day of reckoning people thought, a fun thing to do would be to go backstage and interview Matt Lundlin's coaches, which included the now deceased Robert Follis and Dan

Henderson standing there alongside Vitor because Matt Lundland had been transported to the hospital.

Yeah, that's one of the things.

I was also thinking, in addition to that, the moment that we realized that Vitor's coach was the now

deceased Sean Tompkins and Matt Lindland's coach was the now deceased Robert Fpkins and Matt Linland's coach was the now

deceased lead singer of Static X was also walking people to the ring standing. He must have

looked like he won a damn contest or something because he's standing there behind everybody while they

walked to the cage. So there were some somber moments, let's just say.

Uh-huh.

There were.

On the positive side, though, I don't know if you know this, but my shirt had actual metal studs in it.

Yeah.

No, I was forced to touch your shirt several times.

That's right.
