0:00.0	What's happening guys? Happy Tuesday and thank you for joining another special episode
0:12.5	of your welcome guys. I reacted to UFC 287 on Sunday but as predicted there's a lot
0:19.9	more to come out since Saturday night so coming up on today's show I want to do a little
0:23.7	bit of a deeper dive into the pay-per-view from the weekend and take a look at some of
0:27.9	the biggest storylines like Will Alex Piera get another middleweight title shot or will
0:33.0	somebody else step in? Is George Moss of it all actually retired? It's also an issue
0:38.8	and I should call it advice I'd like to give to Rolo Rosis Jr. Lots to get to today
0:45.4	but first let's begin here.
0:50.9	Did Izzy go heal? Did Otasonga switch to heal on Saturday night?
0:57.3	Alright Otasonga gets the win. He then has a piece of theater with Alex's son. Now I would

1:17.4	having commissioned officials way too close and almost interrupted him. He pulled the whole
1:21.0	thing off. It was actually beautiful. I didn't know that that was a receipt being given
1:27.5	to Alex's son I found out when Blahal Mohamed went to Twitter and brought this to our attention.
1:33.6	Now I really like it. Now I rewatch it three or four times. Like in that moment to get
1:38.6	off of a guy and to know to do the bow and arrow thing, to take one lap and then know
1:44.6	I got a receipt to give this guy to. Once I'm on the ground I got to find a cool way
1:49.1	to get it because the cameras are on me like to know to do those things in that order.
1:52.9	It just shows you how fast Otasonga's mind works. Don't try going toe to toe with this
1:59.2	guy. His mind works a little bit faster than yours does. I thought this was great. We
2:05.1	then get to the back right there in the backstage and there's cameras filming Izzy and Alex
