| 0:00.0 | Welcome to another episode of WFA and Daily, and I'm being joined right now with a very special guest who is fighting at UFC Freedom 250, Steve Garcia, UFC featherweight. |
| 0:13.2 | Dude, this is exciting. I don't know what's bigger. Just the fact that the White House car in itself or you're facing one of the biggest fights of your career in Diego Lopez? |
| 0:24.8 | You tell me, what is bigger? |
| 0:28.2 | They're both big. |
| 0:29.3 | You really can't say which one's bigger. |
| 0:30.9 | Honestly, they're both big opportunities. |
| 0:34.1 | Honestly, being on the white, it's like killing two birds of one stone as far as the dream goes. |
| 0:38.9 | I mean, you have the biggest card in history against the number two guy in the world. |
