0:00.0	What's happening guys? Happy Wednesday! And thank you for joining another special episode
0:12.5	of your welcome. I was out last Friday, but I promise you guys I will be back and this
0:17.7	week I'm going to bring you three great shows coming up today. Alexander Volkanovsky has
0:23.3	made an interesting request. I'm here in some rumors about Michael Chandler versus Dustin
0:29.6	Fourier and I'm also going to take an early look at this Saturday's rematch between Juliana
0:35.2	Pena and Amanda Nunes. But before we get to all of that, let's take a look back at UFC London.
0:41.8	Tom Aspinall Curtis Blades. Guys, there was more that happened here than you may be aware.
0:55.6	We can't even agree on how long the fight was. By the way, the UFC says it was 15 seconds. My
1:01.0	television set says it was 15 seconds. Bloody elbow reported it was 16. What I'm just saying is we
1:07.7	don't know a goddamn thing about this fight. We don't even know what the injury was.
1:10.8	Truly, it was not obvious. Chris Wyman versus Anderson Silva. It was very obvious. Cory Hill,
1:16.8	the first big injury we ever saw like this, very obvious. Then of course, you know, what happened

1:29.2	or was it a knee? And I've seen that octagon jump up and bite people in the ass before. For
1:35.8	example, truly where there's a seam and maybe not UFC specifically. I mean cage in this case,
1:40.4	where there's a seam or there's padding underneath the ring, but it's not put in the right spot.
1:45.5	Guys will stand in it. They'll twist their ankle. I've seen a lot of things like this where you see
1:50.3	the logos. This is a big one where you have the advertisement logos. That is a different type of
1:54.4	surface than the regular canvas. So now you have two different fields and people have slipped on
1:58.2	them before. I only share that because I went back and rewatched this five six seven times to see
2:03.2	if that was what happened here. It was this an issue with the actual floor. Dr. Bosse makes a piece
2:09.8	on it. And Dr. Bosse, who's as good as they come, but easily the best in our sport,
