0:00.0	What's happening guys? Happy Tuesday! And thank you for joining another special episode
0:12.4	of your welcome guys! I know it doesn't feel like it, but we're not that far away from
0:17.2	UFC 283 and later on today's show I'm going to discuss the Petty Nods for the main event
0:22.6	that night. Also on the program, we're going to talk about a photo of Hoss Metchamai of
0:27.3	the Jess came out and I'm going to get into some drama going down to the UFC's lightweight
0:32.1	division. Let's get right into it!
0:38.1	Kabebe is taking some time away from the sport. Kabebe is done with the MMA industry. I've
0:44.8	heard both. I've heard both and it really matters which one it is. Right? Because it's
0:50.4	Kabebe saying it. It's not words from another guy. Most people in our space begin in our
0:57.2	space with an idea. They're just floating an idea. They're just workshopping an idea, throwing

1:22.4	somebody has an idea, they're looking or considering going in a certain direction. They come out
1:28.8	and they float it. Passed you guys. That's not what Kabebe does. That's why it's so relevant.
1:36.8	Right? I go to two different sites. I got the elbow and I got the mania. And one of
1:44.2	them says that Kabebe said, I'm going to take some time away from the sport. That quite
1:50.2	frankly, means nothing. If Kabebe is going to take some time away from the sport, I'm
1:54.0	not sitting over talking to you guys about it. That would mean nothing. Take a vacation.
1:59.6	Take the afternoon. Hell, take the whole week if you want to. Oh, you mean longer than
2:04.1	that? Okay, take a month. It would be nothing. I'm done with the industry is completely
