| 0:00.0 | He is a 10-8 round against him, the most dominant thing that has ever happened to him. |
| 0:04.0 | That was far more dominant than getting kicked in the head in a split second by Leon. |
| 0:07.6 | It was the most dominant and debilitating and embarrassing and humbling moment of his career and it took him 60 seconds to behave as though it had never happened. What's happening guys? Happy Tuesday and thank you for joining another special |
| 0:29.8 | episode of your welcome. UFC 294.C. 294 went down this past weekend. |
| 0:34.0 | I got quite a bit of storylines that have emerged from Abu Dhabi. |
| 0:38.0 | Guys, coming up on today's show, The champ, Islam Michael Cheb, says he wants a shot at Colby Covington and I'm going to tell you why I have zero interest in Charles Olivera getting another title shot. |
