It's the fourth of September 2021 and we're back like a bad habit hello everyone.

My name is Luke Thomas. This is morning combat. I am one half of your hosting duo from CBS sports and showtime in a couple of other places along the way.

I am joined by the gentleman. I don't I think he has a betcha coheia shirt on. I could be wrong about that. I think that's right on the other side of the screen. Yes, there it is.

The king of Connecticut royalty himself. It is Brian Campbell Brian top of the morning to you. How was your weekend? Thank you, Luke. I try to bring that same energy. You betcha.

Fantastic weekend, Luke. I was telling you off camera. Saw a local comedy show. Saw one man die on the vine. Actually, we all just gawked at his remaining car kiss in front of the microphone and then saw this fellow named Tom Carter come in and just slay, bro. I mean, just slay.

I mean, you know, get this guy a showtime special, please. So good shit, Luke. Fun weekend. Enjoy the fights. You know, you may get on me for bringing out my French rapie voice on Fridays, but you definitely started with that substitute for first grade teacher vibe coming.

But you know, just to say I did bring it. I never I never get off the starting block all that all that well. It's always a little awkward.

Well, I appreciate everyone tuning in today. We do this every Monday Wednesday Friday at 11 a.m. in the east. We both had like relatively fun weekends, although the fights were a little.

They were not so great, but the good news, of course, is we'll talk about it later in today's show. We are now heading into fight week for fury while they're three. So a lot to get you thumbs up on the video.

Before we start, are the kids today massacre your house during Halloween? What's it like over there? I've got a decent neighborhood of families. So yeah, it's fine. It's not it's not too crazy. It's not dead. It's whatever. You know, I'm sure you get a lot of homeless folk walk by your your lifting bench, you know, to come knock on the door.

We don't we don't get the homeless folk, but we do get a lot of kids. And I'm trying to figure out what I'm going to do this year because my daughter wants to go trick or treating.

And someone's going to be here. Someone's going to walk her. So it's going to be a little bit dicey. We'll figure it out. But okay, Luke, just turn that shit off. All right. Sorry guys.

You know, I had a neighbor who would turn his lights off on Halloween and then turn the sprinklers on.

I was like, wow, dude, you're a real anti social POS, huh? Kind of admire it now. All right. With that out of the way, let's start the show if we can. Topic number one here on a Monday.

We start with the UFC. Now, UFC had a light heavyweight main event between Brazilians, Johnny Walker and Thiago Santos. Thiago Santos ultimately gets the decision not and what can only be described as a dud.

Really, of a main event. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't good. The question I have here is in assessing the evidence A, B, C, was the nod for Thiago Santos deserved and B, if so, why?
