Welcome back. You guys at home know that I fancy myself the first MMA groupie. Joining us today is the

current number one ranked UFC Walter Wait cold be coming to.

Okay so much I want to talk to you now but I want to make sure that everyone is watching the

the scene so it was about to be over for you why and then what happened after that that just
