| 0:00.0 | Welcome everybody to the Action Network Podcast. It is Friday July 15th and typically when |
| 0:24.0 | we join you on Fridays with the Action Network Podcast. That means it's a UFC bedding |
| 0:29.0 | preview. In that is the case, UFC Fight Night Ortega, V. Rodriguez. That is the main event. |
| 0:35.2 | Our All-Star crew covering UFC, former professional fighter, Billy Ward, also our MMA |
| 0:42.7 | analyst joining us. And Action Network Senior Writer is a jack of all trades. Sean Zerillo. We |
| 0:48.5 | join you every Friday to get you ready for the Saturday card. We've got 12 fights coming to you |
| 0:53.3 | from UBS Arena in Elmont, New York, Ortega Rodriguez, the main event. By the way, just as a quick |
| 1:00.4 | aside, those of you that tune into the podcast, often we certainly appreciate it. 600th |

| 1:51.6 | a loss to Volkanovsky. His only other loss is to Max Holloway. Rodriguez has similarly lost to |
| 1:57.2 | Max Holloway in his last fight, and has only lost prior to that. And the UFC was five years ago |
| 2:01.5 | against Frankie Edgar. So these are both guys who've beaten pretty much everyone at the lower level |
