| 0:07.0 | And I thought it was actually a fantastic performance by Al Jemaine Sterling. |
| 0:10.7 | Look, there's a lot to talk about. |
| 0:12.0 | The card, a little rough tonight. |
| 0:15.3 | But look, some back and forth battle, some good fights. |
| 0:18.8 | I was texting with some, with with big ang and we'll be doing |

| 0:38.6 | Man, there's a lot of history, I think, between the two of them. They train together. They know each other. You know, Zalal was actually in training, able to catch Aljo in a submission. And, you know, Aljo talked about it on the show that I did with him where he joined our podcast this last weekend this last week and we dropped that on i believe monday or tuesday and uh if you |
| 0:57.5 | haven't seen that did with him where he joined our podcast this last weekend this last week and we dropped that on i |
| 0:54.8 | believe monday or tuesday and uh if you guys haven't seen that interview it was fantastic man |
| 1:00.1 | he talked in depth and uh we going back and forth a little bit about our history about how |
| 1:04.3 | uh you know we had a little beef between us and we uh squashed that beef but look i thought he |

| 1:55.9 | that third round and i think we saw that tonight uh use of zala used all of his tools all of his tools, all of his weapons in round three. He was able to get the back, control Aljo in that round. But then Aljo did what he does.
