This is our life, 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.

Yeah. Friday, October 1st, 2021. Let me tell you guys, you ain't got shit to do. That's why you're right here watching the best show in combat sports period.

This is Morning Combat. My name is Brian Campbell, the American Alpha back in the controls where some would say, I have belonging all this time.

And back with a bang to set the stage for the weekend to come in combat sports, particularly mixed martial arts, lot to get into, fun and games news, touching tips, all that and then some tall pale and handsome.

It is that man right here with the BDE, but let me enough about me, right? Let's bring in my co-host probably, probably the reason why you're really here.

He comes from the state of Georgia. His name is Luke Thomas. I'm the devil in the Charlie Daniel song. Be see, that's really what I am. Yes. How are you? Nice to see you. I'm fine. Luke, I'm fine. Thank you. Luke, how are you feeling on this fine, beautiful New England, crisp fall afternoon, even though is there still so no, it's in the fall. We're in October. It's a damn fall.

This is, I think this is official fall season. I have to say I'm pretty excited because while we are going to give you a nice preview for the fights, both actually like right after the show, basically a bill, it starts at 4 p.m. on Showtime in the east and then we have a UFC thing tomorrow.

I'm not going to watch the UFC show tomorrow live. I am going to have a nice day off. So I'm excited for that. Hey, Luke, I am also off tomorrow night. I'm going to go see some live comedy. How about that, bro?

Who are you going to see? I forgot the fella's name. I should look it up. I'm seeing him at a small, small theater here in the old CT. No, he's like a real, he's like a real comic, though. Okay. You might, you'd be surprised, bro. I mean, seriously.

But I'm, you know, looking forward to that. By the way, that fight UFC fight night card, which we'll get into is actually sleepy. Great tomorrow night. So good, you know, look at that, check out belt or tonight, all that good stuff. Hey, Luke, speaking of the people, the labels that pay us 30 days free of Showtime. Like that's not a bad deal at all.

And if you want to watch Michael Venom Page versus Douglas Lima to while you're eating your dinner on the East Coast tonight, you know, how about you do it for free?

You have no over to Showtime.com. Get your 30 day free trial. Luke, I want to tell you something. I just started billions season one from the beginning.

I'm loving this shit. You watch them. I've seen all of season one. And for some reason, I just stopped because I didn't like it. I don't know what happened. I've got in the way.

But so through season one. Yeah, I thought it was awesome. That was really, I'm in deep right now. I'm loving that. You can only catch that on the Showtime app. And so enjoy that shit. Luke also are critically acclaimed documentary 5.0.

So aptly titled healing. It hit this week and shout out to all our people for, I mean, not only is it on pace, Luke commercially to be the best of our five docs.

There is some late votes coming in that this artistically might be less than Jake and Tim, the camera operators best work yet.

It's good. It's good. I watched it for the most part. And it's definitely the best one since the first one for the most.

You're telling me you're not saying much, but it is saying something. You're telling me you didn't even commit to 17 minutes. And by the way, the first one is like our fourth best one at this point. Okay. So you, you don't even know where we're at in this. This is so.

It's so on brand. Really. But please, if you love what we do every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at this time, 11 a.m. Eastern. We've got plenty of bonus content. If you're new in this area, go to youtube.com slash morning combat. You'll get the documentaries.

You'll get Luke's new Monday extra credit project. You'll get, you're not getting that live chat anymore. That that business has been put on over on a rival network.

But you're going to get my career retrospective of many packy. I was retirement this week interviews and all that good stuff. So support us there. Check that out.
