1:08.8	And thank you for joining. A very special episode of your welcome.
1:12.7	It was a wild week in Las Vegas, and it was capped off by an incredible event at UFC 300. And coming up on today's program, I'm going to tell you all about it.
1:22.2	I'm going to get into Alex Piera's dominant win. And while I find that Piera has a very strong case for goat status right now, right now, plus Aram Sikarian got the win, but no title shot, and we finally have Connor McGregor versus Michael Chandler scheduled lots to get to everybody.
1:45.1	But let's begin by discussing the guy who stole the show on Saturday night.

2:43.6	to have a path unlike any other contender, which is we're going to keep him away from Max.
2:50.4	Ilya is awesome, but Ilyaot Toporia, by design, did not cross paths with Max.
2:57.2	There was no other way to get a guy to a title.
