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 Chad Dundas. That's Ben Folks. We're both longtime MMA journalists and for nearly the last nine years.

We've been meeting here every week to break down all the action in the wild, weird, and occasionally wonderful world of mixed martial arts.

Ben, you know what you do?

You go out, you grab a big victory on network TV, and then you roll up in your post-fight interview

with your prepared material, and you go ahead and you challenge

a group of professional football players to a bad mitten or a pickleball contest.

That's how you do it.

That's what we're doing in the year of our Lord 2021.

Thought we might open this show by talking a little bit about what our guy Julian Marquez has going.

What kind of gimmick he's working here as he progresses through the UFC ranks with a big

victory this weekend over there on ABC, of course, and then gets on the mic, challenges some guys

to a pickleball match.

Now, Chad, I'm going to say this right now.

I'm not totally sure what pickleball is.

See, that's what I thought, too.

I'll tell you what I know about it.

That's some gym class shit.

That's what I know.
