All right, guys, welcome to another episode of the Way and N podcast.

My man, everybody, I love here. I love seeing your face because you and I, kind of I would say we came up a little bit together, but you were in the UFC, you were in the WC, I was in Strike Force, then we actually reconvened back to inside the UFC cage. Saw you there for a bit. We did a couple of charity golf tournaments together. But man, Dom Cruz, man. Thanks for joining the show, man.

I appreciate you.

Glad to be here.
