Oh, I can't drink. I can't drink. I watered here.

Oh, I know you're up there with Dana. Listen, I know you're shenanigans over there.

We got a lot to get to. A lot has happened since we last talked. You didn't put on any events yet in the pandemic, other than the

really early card in Brazil before everything shut down. So what has it been like actually having put these events on?

It's been awesome. I mean, it's been awesome. I said that we could do it. We could do it safely. And we've done it.

You have and a lot of the media came at you for that and you got into the dispute with everyone. You got into the dispute with your boy John Oliver, which again, like another

I'm like Jesus Christ with the guys that look like Wimps going at Dana. You can't give me one muscle head going at you. But don't worry. Listen, I'm doing push up. So the next time you call out the Wimps, you won't even have to clarify that you're not talking about me.

But you put these events on. Is there anything you learned from putting on the events in Florida and Nevada now that you'll apply to UFC events going forward, not like the safety precautions, not you're getting swabs up the nose every event now.

has that been what you anticipated this weekend is trending really well too. I think what we're seeing is we're seeing, you know, that that that being the only game in town literally.

You know, has definitely raised the profile of the brand raised the profile of the sport and the athletes and

The numbers are incredible whether they're free TV ESPN plus or pay for views. So it's been good.

Is there any party? I know you're gambling man. You're a huge sports fan. But is there any party you seeing the MLB, the NHL, the NBA have difficulty coming back being like, fuck yeah, I put this shit together in three weeks.

Yeah, I think I think it would be crazy to say that, you know, after we went, somebody had to be first somebody had to be first.

And the other major leagues with the amount of heat that I was taking, they didn't go first because every one of them would have crumbled under the under the pressure from the media. I mean the media, there are just some real dirty.

Disgusting scumbags out there that work for the media and you know from from you know they pulled every dirty move.
