0:00.0	What's happening guys? Happy Sunday welcome to a special edition. We're gonna call this recap.
0:13.8	Now guys, I know it's Sunday and you're hearing it today. I gotta tell you, I'm actually in the studio.
0:18.6	I just watched the fights. I'm gonna give you my natural organic immediate reaction to what we just saw.
0:26.4	Is the versus Piano? Are you happy? I mean let's start with that. I want to break this down but are you happy?
0:36.3	And what studs? Really what? Two incredible athletes. I believe it's need to be the greatest
0:45.2	middleweight of all time. I say this as a middleweight. I say this as well. Many have said I am the greatest of all time.
0:51.8	But I think it's him. I think it's him for a lot of reasons. In addition to the fact that he
0:58.4	cleaned out a division and he did what Dana White is calling Lapping it. We've never even heard that
1:02.0	term. The term Lapping a division was brought to our sport. I realize that's like a NASCAR but

1:46.2	process of taking a fight ending combination. I mean, God the guy started with his legs. He goes to
1:50.4	his kidney. He goes to his liver. He needs him in the head. Boom. Izzy throws back puts him down.
1:54.3	It really was a remarkable thing. And I want to make sure that I pay that respect to these athletes
2:00.0	because they're great. I did not want to see this fight and neither did you.
2:05.2	There has never been a rematch for a title in the main event of our Sparrata. A big rematch.
2:12.0	Never that was asked for less than this one. Izzy did not call for it. Piera did not call for it.
