0:00.0	What's happening guys? Happy Friday! And thank you for joining another special episode
0:13.0	of your welcome. You know what? I got to apologize to you for missing on Tuesday guys.
0:17.0	I hate doing that, but I hope you had an amazing weekend and we're going to make up for it
0:22.0	today now. Coming up on today's program, let's do a deep dot into the rumors behind a fight
0:28.0	involving John Jones, a Curtis play, and where did that come from? Well, by the way,

1:53.0	Dom looks like 185 pounder. Piera looks like the 205 pounder. And meaningfully, Piera was two inches taller.
2:00.0	I mean, just in that regard that he's got the shoulders. He's got the size.
2:03.0	They were claiming that he was having to cut over 50 pounds to get to 185.
