This is our passion. That's the spirit we bring to this show. I'm Luke Thomas. I'm Brian Campbell. This is Morning Combat.

Yeah, you hear that sound. You know what to expect. Or by the bushels. All right. This is Morning Combat. The best damn combat sports show. Period. We have many awards to prove that. But do we have a future? That is the million dollar question. Hey, you're looking at me, right? I'm on that beige guy.

But the big attitude and and all the all the alpha you can handle in one day, Brian Campbell. Thank you for populating my show. No, this isn't my only pipes channel. Cameo.com slash Brian Campbell. But please scam that. All you want. Just the same. My partner and crime though. No stranger to scams every Thursday afternoon. It's Luke Thomas. Luke, how the hell are you here? That's a good one. That's a good one. That one never gets old. Actually, I'm liking that bit more and more. But BC, you can't bring down my

mood today. You know why? No, because it's hail to the commander. Oh, yeah. Big Dory. The redskins got it on the warpath. The redskins got an injection of magic overnight. Wow. I mean, what do you think about that, Luke? What do you magic Johnson and company taking the multi billion dollar takeover of the nation's capital? Also, BC, one of the one of the minority.

One of the minority owners is this Colombian dude who's like one of the richest families in that country that owns half the things everywhere over there. So my family's pretty happy that he's involved, I guess. But I'll tell you what, dude, we, I'll just leave it at this for years. We've been having a debate. What would it feel like when Dan Snyder was finally gone? What would it feel like a championship, BC? I got to tell you, it feels like we're the city of champions again, my friend. This feels exactly like when the

one that, well, not quite when the caps one is a little different. Nevertheless, it's a championship parade they hear in your nation's capital. Wow. Now, did you call that other Colombian owner or minority owner because of his nationality and heritage, because that would be wildly. No, he actually owns a small minority stake. There's like, it's the Josh Harris group. So it's like Josh Harris, Magic Johnson, and then like 50,000 rich people. So he didn't dead Snyder. Yeah. Oh, no, he's gone. All right, Luke, Friday, July 21st right here, 2000 and 20,

33 and what we have cooked up for you today are the tightest 90 minutes in combat sports. So tight, Luke, it'll, it'll give you flashbacks to the junior prom. For sure. But Luke Thomas, what I'm trying to tell you is we got OK bet today. We're going to look at the biggest news over the past 48 hours, including a colmane and main monster splashed for Abu Dhabi in October. You know, we got other shits at the stage for boxing and maybe a little bit of dead wrong as well on the way out. But Luke Thomas, we also, in the midst

of, to be very honest with the folks and I appreciate everybody outpouring love, DMing us, making multiple Reddit pages about our shows demise, MK, like my heart, Luke, look, it will go on, right? And it will carry on. That's not the question. We are awaiting some larger sort of behind the scenes, things that dictate a lot of the future of the show, mostly technologically and stuff like that. But Luke Thomas, you and I will still be working together. But we are waiting on things.

We can't necessarily talk about that. Do dictate the future. But shout out to Mikey Mormons, the CBS sports, our extended CBS sports crew behind the scenes today, bringing you this classic piece of entertainment. Throughout all that uncertainty, Luke, about the future. There is a, there's a little bit of light coming next week, right? A little bit of a big MK announcement that we want to start the show and plant the flag with. Luke, can you get people excited about what I'm trying to tell you? And don't just say, oh, BC's birthday live chat post a new way full. And that's

big enough news for next week as it is. But what about next Thursday July 27th? Well, first of all, BC, you should know that I plugged on my live chat yesterday, your post in a way, Fulton instant reacts. That's going to happen. So I made sure everyone knew about that yesterday. But okay, you're asking about the future. Now again, there are some bigger questions. I think most people should understand that we're going to be fine. But we're also also going to be more than fine next week. We're going to be great next week. So here's what's going to happen. We all know that next Saturday, not that this one coming up.

This week in the tomorrow, but a week from tomorrow is going to be one of the greatest days in combat sports history. You're going to get UFC 2.91. You're going to get, I think, Bell Tower versus Ryzen 2. And of course, you're going to get what I consider to be the crown jewel of the weekend. You're going to get Errol Spence Jr. taking on Terrence Crawford. That fight is in fact so big that Brian and I have been invited to host live on television on CBS Sports Network, which you can get if you've got YouTube TV or any any place that has all the

sports and cable channels. We're going to be live two hours, MK on national TV for two hours, getting you ready in every way we possibly can for Spence versus Crawford.

Ladies and gentlemen, it is an MK TV takeover to get you ready for the biggest boxing match in about a decade. BC, I don't know how you feel. I'm buzzing at the opportunity.

Yeah, I'm fired the heck up. So it's next Thursday, July 27, 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. Eastern time a live two hour in your face, every angle look I've had. So some of our best MK fans behind the scene to our MMA strong telling me look BC, I never bid on this boxing thing. You've been trying to sell me for years, but man, Spence Crawford feels different. Tell me about this fight. What do I need to learn? What should I expect? You got two hours of greatness coming your way.

Next Thursday live 10 a.m. By the way, I want to be clear, BC and I are going to be doing it for like this. We're both going to the television studios and that we're going to be on the television set. We're just going to bring the MK energy to CBS sports network. So we're really appreciative of CBS for the opportunity and the invite. We're excited about this fight. And we're going to get you guys ready for the best fights are going to see in a long, long time. Yeah, just before Luke gets on that plane and heads to Las Vegas for the. I really the biggest boxing match in an

at least eight years. You know, maybe we've had may wear the McGregor things that have been bigger commercially, but if you don't know, now you know, on Spence Crawford, in terms of the stakes, in terms of the royalty, in terms of the talent coming together, this is as big as it gets. We are excited to be a big part of that. So final reminder, next Thursday, July 27, 10 a.m. Eastern on the CBS Sports Network, check your local cable listings MK taking over. Luke, so MK will go on. People can chill, but what you and I want.

It's not necessarily like more money and all these things. We want MK to continue to grow. So that's what I'm hoping over the next year, Luke, we'll figure that out behind the scenes. MK still going to bang though every Monday, Wednesday and Friday until either they tell us to stop or I say something, Luke, that forces us to stop. Thank you.

You're going to bang like Stiffler's mom, you know what I'm saying? That's what I got for you. Oh my gosh, Luke, before we get into the real show here. There was some explosiveness explosions on the on the reddit sphere, Luke, Newt Thomas apparently arrived and said, can we just not talk about this bullshit?

It got it got very messy yesterday, Luke, and I and it was, you know, you would just like like Rambo, but you know, there you go. Look, maybe we'll just move on with our lives. All right.

Let's just move on with our lives. Yeah, thank you very much. All right, Luke, we have, as I mentioned, a, a banger for you. So hey, two, what's bang topic number one? You heard the drums banging. We know we're having a super card coming up October 21st, Abu Dhabi UFC 294.

Now we got a main event. And for as much as we've been talking about the idea of Mahatchev versus Volkinawski too, or even Volk versus Toporia. No, how about this for a rematch and a main event, Luke Thomas, the lightweight title will be at stake when Islam Mahatchev welcomes back former champion Charles Olivera, fresh off a resounding comeback victory of his own.

294 October 21st, Luke Thomas, your instant reaction to this fantastic fight. I love it. I love it. I mean, this was the one that actually when we looked at the calendar when things started to come into focus.
