This is our passion. That's the spirit we bring to this show. I'm Luke Thomas. I'm Brian Campbell. This is morning combat.

No, what? We can go Luke. It is Wednesday, not Friday. They're team. Hi, everyone. My name is Luke Thomas. It is, let's see, the third of February, 2021.

And it's time for morning combat. Hello, everyone. Hope you are doing well. I am joined on the other side of the screen by the Q to my non, the conspiracy to my theory, the K to my low. That's an inside joke.

It's your friend in mind from CBS Sports is Brian Campbell. Hi, BZ. Hello, Luke. Hello, Luke. As you can see by my incredible headwear. I am, I am California dreaming. In fact, on such a winner's day.

There's feet, feet of snow outside. Luke, do you have any idea how much roof, raking, shoveling, snow blowing? I mean, look, welcome to New England. Ben here my whole life. I signed up for it. But yeah, yeah, baby. It's not.

What's the damage? How many feet you got like officially? I mean, I don't really measure things and I really, you know, not really. We look in the factory. They're not worried about math, right? Too often. But let's just say I had a snow blow five times. That's a lot in two days. All right. Snow. So, yeah, a lot of work out there. Very beautiful.

Although, Luke, okay. All right. Like this show, right? A lot of work. Very beautiful. You and I making it look easy in the end. But do people can people drive on the roads? Where you're at? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it's, you know, they plow and shoot. See, here's a difference, Luke. I mean, I'm not trying to say we're like Minnesota or Maine or Vermont. We're like, they don't cancel school and you go out in your snowblower. But this ain't Maryland where like a half inches snow. People are driving into each other like demolition, Derby and panicking. All right, Luke. We're real up here. Okay. You know what I'm saying? Well, here's like JLo.

People, people, people get it wrong because I lived for a time in Georgia. They're a half inch of snow. People will panic. Here's when they panic here. At right around four to five inches. That's when they're like, uh-oh, uh-oh, big stuff's coming. Whether man lied to us because we're in that stage. Do that. Mid-Atlantic stage is where you don't know if you're going to get two inches or 12. And so you just, which is, which is really a strange way to describe it. But you know what I'm saying? You don't know if it's going to be a nori star.

It's not going to be a nori star or just a little sprinklin. So you also have to kind of be on edge a little bit. It's a fair, it's a fair point, Luke. Okay. You know, one day though, I will retire somewhere nice and warm. Hopefully that comes sooner than later. Uh, yes, we're back at it with Wednesday here. Luke, uh, hump day, no J Wednesday. Uh, should be a fun one. I'm right. Luke, I am in good-ass spirits. Did you sleep well last night? How do you feel?

Mike, Mike, twin celebrated their 13th birthday yesterday. I'm a dad of teenagers. All right. There you go. All right. There's a lot of fortnight going on. I put together all these gifts yesterday. Look, it's, you know, what a time to be alive. So, uh, hope everyone else out there doing well. I know it's crazy times. But, uh, keep, keep your head and check. Okay. You know what I'm saying?

All right. Well, we have. Look, look, look, look. All works good in our, in our works fine. Right. But first take care of Ed. You know what I'm talking about. Right.

I don't know what you're saying. But it's okay. We have a fair bit to get to you. Some news and notes and then Friday show. We're going to really lean into the upcoming UFC show that we sort of started the week out on. Here we'll just sort of hit up the other things happening in the world of combat sports.

First things first, of course, thumbs up on the video. Hit subscribe. Uh, if you're new here, welcome. In addition to that, I want to say we have some work out there. The story time with Rashad. Great work. People seem to love it. We have an interview out with Dustin Poirier. If you've not seen it, please go check it out. That's here on the YouTube channel.

Also, if you want to try show time, you can see BC's got the shirt there. You can go to showtime.com, get a 30 day free trial. If you like it, you can keep it. If not, you can go about your merry day and go to something to fuck else.

Uh, if you want to buy some merch, which I think you can probably get that show time shirt on the store. We'll talk about some MK merch store dot show dot com. That's the place you can go. You get MK hats, beanies, mugs, tumblers, the whole nine yards.

Um, and I think that's it for the preamble BC anything I'm missing. No, I'm you're no sell of my sublime reference earlier, really painting me. Remember we seven nineties counter. Remember the show used to be fun. What happened? Luke corporate got in the way. What happened?

Your nineties references. You dropped off a cliff on those things. All right. All right. That, you know, that was the one redeeming quality of the great J, right? That guy was on the button with that shit. All right. Maniche, step your game up. Where's Gaff? Step your game up. Thank you. Thank you.

Which was he even born in the nineties? Like what? He was born when we graduated high school or something? I don't know, but that hockey has some soul. I mean, go out there and Google lonely, Angela's when you have some time.

People. Okay. Thank you. Enough, enough shilling for the people we love and enjoy. All right. Luke, can we get to combat sports? That's why people are here. Okay. All right. So, uh, as much as things might change, they remain the same BC. As I understand it, Kenny Florian was on his podcast. I believe this is the

Annic and Florian podcast. If I'm not mistaken, I'm pulling it up here just to be sure. Yes, I got the sound. Look, we've got some sound. Why don't we give some shine to those fellas?

All right. So we have the sound. Let's, let me, let me set, let me set, let me set the clip. But what, wait, wait, wait, let me set the clip up, which is that you've got, you got Kenny Florian, apparently talking about a fight that he thinks is now not really relevant. But in many ways, almost imminent between GSB and Habib. Let's roll the clip.

Um, you know, I heard some pretty crazy news over the weekend. Um, I won't say exactly where it's from, but it's from a well-known coach who, uh, apparently is aware of a fight between Habib Nirmaga Mettoff and a, uh, a legend in the UFC, a former two-time champion, uh, George St. Pierre. Uh, so, supposedly, uh, that is a fight that, um, I don't know if it's confirmed, but it is a fight that, uh, George might be getting ready.
