0:00.0	Hello everybody and welcome to your UFC 271 post show. I am John Pollock joined as always at this
0:06.6	late hour by Phil chair talk as we are coming out of UFC 271 from Houston, Texas at the Toyota
0:14.3	Center. Hello, Phil. Hi, John. I'm just making sure that there's no feline distractions right now.
0:22.6	Yes, she's looking at me with very, very suspicious eyes, but we've got the area controlled here.
0:30.3	Yes, yes, you almost got dropped like Derek Lewis on Fridays post daily new show as your cat made.
0:37.2	It's an unexpected debut, but should they make an appearance? They are more than welcome.

1:42.4	in that regard, but it was still an interesting technical affair.
1:46.9	Yeah, I think that's a pretty solid assessment of Israel. Adesanya's game in this. I don't think
1:52.8	you ever felt that he was in any meaningful trouble throughout these 25 minutes. I scored it 49-46
2:01.6	for Adesanya. I saw a lot of 48-47s for Adesanya, so I think that seems to be the lion's share of
2:08.3	the scorecards of how much did Adesanya win. Did you see any argument that Whitaker could have
2:15.8	won three rounds or do you think that's really stretching things?
2:19.8	I mean, the commentators kept making the point that they were very competitive rounds and they
