| 0:00.0 | What's good, everybody? Welcome into the early edge MMA style. That's right. If there is a card in any of the organizations, we're going to be here for you every single week. We do it. This week, PFL and UFC. This is your sports betting show of record powered by the almighty sports line. |
| 0:27.1 | We've got a lot to get to. So let's bring in the star of the show. The duck army is strong. |
| 0:32.0 | Ian Parker. Hello. Coach, let's do it, baby. We got PFL, we got UFC. |
| 0:37.9 | We got a nice little MMA weekend. |
| 0:39.4 | I'm ready to rock. |
| 0:40.4 | Let's do it. |

| 1:14.6 | Go back to his last performance against Bubba Jenkins. |
| 1:17.3 | Jenkins, who's the favorite to win in his weight class, struggled against Moffitt |
| 1:21.3 | at the end of the second and late in the third round. |
| 1:23.6 | Moffitt is an excellent submission fighter with solid stand-up, great cardio, fighting a guy |
| 1:27.6 | and Jason Knight, whose last two fights have beaten guys who are 30 and 42 and 12 and 17. He has not |
| 1:34.7 | fought someone like Moffitt in a really long time. I like Moffitt for the win. It's finding these |
