0:00.0	What's hanging guys, I'm Chale, he's Daniel.
0:14.9	Welcome to another episode of Good Guy, Bad Guy, dare I say, perhaps the final episode,
0:20.2	at least from here in T-Mobile and partner,
0:22.6	it's been a fun run.
0:24.1	It has been a fun ride to say that this is the last time, Chil, and I will do Good Guy, Bad Guy,
0:29.0	in person.
0:29.6	It's very sad, but it's been fun, and we promise that for this last one, we have an unbelievable
0:35.9	show for you guys, Chale.
0:37.2	We're in Vegas, UFC 323, and as it feels like we have done so many times over the course of this year,
0:45.0	it's been three times, fourth time now, but Maraub de Wiles-Willis really is defending his championship again.
0:51.5	It happens so frequently that you almost forget how special it is for a

1:01.0	almost normal as he goes into this main event this weekend against Peoria for the second time.

He goes into the back to Dana White's press conferences and says, I want to get turned around and I want back in here quickly. At some point, it almost felt like Dana said, I'm gonna call you out on that. I don't believe anybody wants to really fight this much. So I'm gonna give you the opportunity just to say no, just so you'll shut up. Nope, turned out old Marab was telling the truth, and Marab is booked right here in his adopted hometown to headline on Saturday.
1:46.0	The craziest thing about Marab Duas really is the fact that he has fought so many times and won so many times in a row now that he's lapped the division.
1:57.0	And now he's making his way back around for a second time.
2:02.6	We saw him fight Peoria on before.
2:04.8	We saw him do amazing things in that fight.
2:07.0	It was a competitive fight at times.
2:11.2	But Peoria Jan was under so many takedown attempts that he never got started.
2:17.0	But Jan has gone since that fight, won three fights in the road to put himself right back in contention.
