| 0:00.0 | The UFC heads to Sydney, Australia for UFC 325. |
| 0:07.0 | I'm Claudia Bola Fado here in the Florida Studios for CBS. |
| 0:10.0 | This is the early edge and we're going to break down the whole card for you. |
| 0:14.0 | Brought to you by BetMGM Make it Legendary. |
| 0:17.0 | I am joined by the usual suspects. |
| 0:18.0 | We have Brian Campbell, Danny Brasco. |
| 0:20.0 | We're going to be joined by a third member, Hayden Iverson later on for the main and the co-main and his best bets, fellas. |
| 0:28.6 | We got to talk about what was a great intro card. |
| 0:32.1 | We talked about maybe it would be for the new fans to UFC joining Paramount Plus, |
| 0:37.1 | the Paramount Plus era with Gaichi and |
| 0:39.7 | Pimlet. And not only that fight, but the rest of that card was the perfect intro BC for people |
| 0:45.7 | new to UFC. Yeah, I mean, look, what do you want to send to casual fans? How about a love |

| 1:32.5 | of course, headlined by a featherweight title rematch, Alexander Volcanowski and Diego |
| 1:37.7 | Lopez. Let's start there, fellas, because this first fight in the first round, you looked at it, |
| 1:43.9 | and Lopez was just taking it. |
| 1:45.8 | We know he had the lesser resume, but he was there for a reason, just four years in the UFC, |
| 1:51.5 | fighting for a title the second time. So he has the respect. And I sort of cheated. I looked later on. |
| 1:57.3 | I see some of you guys are on Lopez. How important is familiarity in this one? |
| 2:02.7 | And you guys can tell me what storylines. But I'm curious, Danny Brasco, how important is |
