0:00.0	What's happening guys? Happy Tuesday and thank you for joining another special episode
0:12.7	of your welcome guys. We're a few days removed from UFC 282 and coming up on today's
0:17.3	show I'm going to give you my thoughts now that I've had some time to process. I'm going
0:21.7	to break down Yon vs. Ankelaya. The new 200-pound World Title Fight Patty Pimless performance
0:28.8	who patty should fight next and a whole bunch more guys. Let's get into it.
0:34.8	Okay, things have settled down. I got to tell you. I don't like about myself kicking
0:42.5	somebody when they're down ever ever and I was a little hard on blahobits and an all
0:48.2	fairness. I've never not been hard on him. I'm not sure where that comes from. Now in

1:40.2	with Yon conceding that he did not win that fight. I got a word of that way. He was careful.
1:47.6	He caught himself a little bit to not say that he lost but that he didn't win that fight.
1:52.1	I have a problem with that. I had him up three rounds. He won three rounds. He lost two.
1:57.8	Those three rounds were very close. The two that he lost were very dominant. I still have
2:01.9	a problem with it. He gets held down for two rounds. We all hate him. Now set the judging
2:08.8	aside. I'm bringing a little we all hate him. He's terrible. Take his opportunity away.
2:13.2	This guy's upon his fights. This this fights awful. A year ago he beat Israel out of
