0:30.5	Hello there everybody, my kek here for MMAFighting.com. Here, inside the UFC Apex, where we just
0:39.2	wrapped up the UFC 276 Media Day, and it was all sorts of fun. With Israel out of
0:45.6	Sanya, Jared Cannonier, Alexander Volkanovsky, Max Holloway, there is one scrum that sort of stood
0:52.3	out above the rest, which if you watch them, I think you know where I'm going with this, but

2:01.2	this week, the type of attitude that he has this week, and he doesn't view Jared Canoneer as
2:09.4	as like a horrible human being or somebody that he has hatred towards or anything like that.
2:13.3	It's just another opponent, but now he's being specific about things. He's saying this fight
2:19.5	this performance is going to remind you of the Anderson silver versus forest driven fight, and
