This is our passion. That's the spirit we bring to this show. I'm Luke Thomas. I'm Brian Campbell. This is morning combat.

Oh, guess what day it is. Guess what day it is. That's right. It's Wednesday. It's the 21st of July in the year of our Lord 2021.

And it is time every ball day for morning combat. Hello, everyone. I am merely one half of your hosting duo. My name is Luke Thomas.

And my daughter is having a connection fit about five feet outside of my door at this moment. You're going to hear her banging on it.

Like someone trying to serve a summons to somebody who else's in debt. On the other side of the screen. On the other side of the screen is the King of Connecticut whose kids I don't think are banging down the door.

Like someone trying to serve a summons. It's Brian Campbell. Hi, Brian. Can you hear the melee outside my door? I can't. I can't, Luke. And I'm strumming your pain with my fingers one time because I'm, you know, Mr. Mom, show for entertainment, machine cook, cleaner.

I mean, what the hell do our wives do when we're traveling, Luke? It's seemingly everything. Okay. So shout out to what you're juggling this week as am I. But you know, Luke, I still was ready to come big time.

You know, you're going to come on. I'm going to bring it on hump day here. Okay. No, Jay Wednesday, wheel of death, great stuff, fired up. Let's do this thing, Luke. Okay. Put on your game face. Let's bang.

I'm actually ready. I'm ready to do this. I'm actually excited about the show today for a lot of reasons, not at least of which is we're previewing the weekends card for the UFC, which is just a fight in that card.

Not a pay-per-view, not a numbered event in the sense of, you know, UFC 260, whatever, just a fight in that card. And BC, you know, as well as I do, this card is awesome. It's really, really, really good.

Top to bombs. We'll talk about that. We'll talk about maybe Logan Paul's next move. Conor McGregor's still out there making news. We have some news in terms of a big pay-per-view on the boxing side of things. And BC, drawer falls. There's a wheel of death today.

There's a last minute wheel of death because your boy was too busy dad and out to remember to put it together. So do I do my best work under pressure, Luke?

We're going to find out as you get put in the vice grip of all things WOD. So I'm fired up for that. Look, we have, I normally don't peep the fan submissions every Wednesday, but our producer, Mikey revealed, we have maybe an all-time great fan submission to reveal today from one brother in in Stockton, California.

So I cannot believe the events that have happened, Luke, hey, WebScream, somebody's coming for your throne brother, okay? That's all I have to say about that.

All right, all right, all right. So standard disclaimers you can see about contacting the show morning combat at gmail.com, not just for Wednesday's fan submissions, but Friday's dead wrong. What do we get wrong? You can tell us, just make sure you have documented proof. Email us morning combat at gmail.com.com.

Make sure you're not an asshole and you can back it up, yeah.

I have so many people who write me and be like, oh, you got this wrong. It'll be like something like quite obviously correct that they just don't know or didn't realize or something.

I've had a couple of people like double down and they ended up being correct, but in general, people who directly email me my dead wrongs, they get them wrong. So email the show. Probably a better chance of being right.

Also, if you want to try Showtime, you certainly can. Showtime.com, you get a 30-day free trough, if you like it, you can keep it if not, you can go bounce. By the way, the ratings for the charlotte castanio fight, you know, very, very good for Showtime the best of the season. I think 19 months for one of their boxing events.

So, and we are what delivered less than a week plus out from pit bull, McKee. I'm sorry. You're going to need Showtime. So look, are they still able to to pound sand after 30 days if they didn't like it? You don't really.

They are. I don't think they're going to need to, but if that's an option that they want, they can certainly have that. But you're right. Bellator 263. Easily one of the best fights on paper in Bellator history. Folks, I've been covering Bellator for long before the people currently running it ever got there. And I'm telling you,

this is one of the best fights that they've ever made. Why don't you just say it's the best fight ever? I know you're quick to head to say it's not the biggest. No one's saying it's the biggest. There were commercially bigger fights. Why can't you just go on the record and say pit bull, McKee is the best fight Bellator has ever put out there.
