0:10.0	And thank you for joining another special episode of your welcome presented to you by
0:14.8	Draft King Sportsbook, the official sports betting partner of the UFC. Download the Draft King's
0:20.7	app, do it today and use the promo code CHAL to get in on all the action. My apologies about
0:27.5	no show on Wednesday. I was on the road, but I'm going to tell you some stories of my travels
0:33.6	in just a moment. Coming up on today's show, I'm going to talk about what happened at UFC
0:38.4	279. I'm also going to discuss the futures of Nathias and Tony Ferguson. All of that and more
0:45.2	later. But let's begin by discussing the busy couple days for Uncle Chao.

1:04.0	But MVP most valuable promotion, specifically Ariel's their guy in some regard. I don't know what

1:45.1	feels the same way. I don't know because I have not seen Anderson's self since I got out of the
1:49.2	cage with him. I just haven't seen him. The way time goes by for me, those fights were yesterday.
1:56.0	For Anderson, those were probably some fun moments along the way. But it's got to have a whole
2:00.6	bunch of those like he did. This was my moment. I remember him and I remember him differently
2:07.6	than he might recall. I don't know. I don't know. Haven't seen him haven't talked to him.
2:11.9	So the way this works, he's in a room, caught like a holding room,
