| 0:00.0 | What's up, everybody? As you guys can see, I've got some work going on behind me, trying to reorganize |
| 0:04.3 | my studio for the Dad Dojo, but also use it for the Wayne In podcast. And, uh, hey, man, we've got a special guest. He'll be joining us in a little bit here, but I wanted to just kind of get on a little bit early, man. I was already prepared, ready to go. Uh, you know, I saw some news that it dropped a little bit, a little while ago then we also have theavkat news we've got a lot of things to talk about but i saw that the uh brian ortega |
| 0:26.0 | pulled now i think it was probably about a week ago maybe a little bit longer than that but i guess |
| 0:29.4 | moikano at ufc three i think it's 326 is where they were supposed they were scheduled to fight at |
| 0:33.7 | um man i think at some point that's yeah that's his fight up at 155 he needs to take some |
| 0:40.8 | time he needs to take a little bit of a break he needs to get his body right and he needs to just get |

| 1:22.4 | He'll probably avoid less injuries because he's not starving himself to get down to that hundred and to get to that 145 pounds. |
| 1:26.1 | And realistically, you have a tendency to get better as a fighter because you are not focused |
| 1:33.1 | on your whole camp being about losing the weight. |
| 1:36.8 | And I'm not sure if you guys have heard this before, but I've talked about it a couple |
| 1:40.4 | times, years and years ago. |
| 1:42.4 | You know, I used to coach corner and you know i pretty much helped |
| 1:46.8 | i pretty much discovered anthony rumble johnson hitting hitting mitts at some shootbox academy down |
| 1:51.8 | on some alleyway in in la and um i was getting ready for a fight and he just so happened to be there and he |
