0:00.0	What's happening guys? Happy Tuesday and thank you for joining another special episode
0:12.8	of your welcome guys. The UFC is on fire right now. We had an amazing UFC 285 last weekend
0:20.3	and just like that we're on to UFC 286. Leon Edwards versus Camar Uzman for the third
0:27.1	time. I can't wait for it and coming up on today's show. I'm going to talk about the entire
0:32.1	car with my good friend, King Mo. Before that I'm going to tell you something interesting. Daniel
0:38.0	Kormier said about the future of John Jones. But before we get to all of that, let's begin here.
0:48.4	Guys I want to break this down. I just want to do this math for you because we run into this
0:52.1	equation very often. This is going to sound old but the formula is the same. It just never gets
0:58.0	applied. Let me tell you what's going on here. You have Barab. Doesn't want to fight Aljou.
1:03.7	Now we all understand that don't we? All of us do. And even when we hear Dana White speak about it,
1:11.0	we know in our heart Dana understands it too. Dana is the most loyal person in this business as a

1:30.0	I only bring that to you because Barab wants to make it perfectly clear that he won't fight Aljou.
1:36.0	That's respectful. That's honorable. I'm not going to win. It's not even in public.
1:42.4	Now I feel as though that's something that they could have worked out quietly when Marab could say
1:46.4	to him. I was a guest in this country and you took me and I love you my brother. I helped you to
1:51.3	get to where you are and you helped me to get to where I am. And now we're going to play a little game.
2:00.0	It's going to play a little game out there with me, the little game of bluff.
2:04.3	They know that we're friends. They know that we're close. They know that we train together.
2:10.3	They've been setting that up to go up since 1993 and they never put anybody with our level of
2:15.3	relationship against each other. But boy, they've threatened it a few times.
