0:00.0	What's happening guys? Happy Friday! And thank you for joining. Another special episode
0:13.0	of your welcome guys. UFC 286 is just upon us and remember it's a special start time.
0:20.6	The fights are in London so it's going to be a main card beginning at 5pm Eastern.
0:26.3	You're welcome for that. Coming up on today's show, it's UFC London and I'm wondering
0:32.1	where the hell is Patty Pimblant. Plus, I'm going to give you my official predictions,
0:36.5	but before all of that, I want to take a deeper look into Saturday's highly anticipated
0:42.1	trilogy matchup between Kamara Luzman and the champion Leon Edwards.
0:48.4	I was in Vegas so it's fight week. And this guy was a beautiful record, ultimate fighter winner.

2:01.2	And I'd better take a look at their records. I started to match up some common opponents. This
2:05.1	was a period of time ago. Please don't ask me to do that off the top of my head. I even compared
2:08.8	the wrestling. Kamara Luzman was the champion of division two and we were going to compare that
