| 0:00.0 | What's happening guys? Happy Tuesday and thank you for joining another special episode of your welcome. |
| 0:13.4 | I am back from Salt Lake City and coming up on today's show, |
| 0:17.5 | I'm going to give my thoughts on Alex Piara's next move |
| 0:21.0 | and why women's phantom weight is suddenly interesting. But before that, I want to go back in time to Saturday |
| 0:27.8 | night immediately after I witnessed Alex Pierra make history once again. |
| 0:33.0 | I can't remember anybody quite like this. |
| 0:45.0 | I mean you have a guy that's in a conversation for goat. |
| 0:48.0 | You have a guy who be bumped up the heavyweight, |
| 0:51.0 | it wouldn't matter if he won the IC belt or the undisputed belt. |
| 0:56.7 | If he has a belt up there it ends the conversation we no longer even have an ability to |

| 1:18.7 | a goat anymore. We would just say Alex Perra. And to have somebody that is in that kind of a conversation who has been this undynamic |
| 1:28.2 | is not something that we ever thought we would see. |
| 1:31.3 | Dynamic? |
| 1:32.3 | For goodness sakes, I don't think we've ever even seen him defend a submission. |
| 1:36.0 | Now that isn't his fault. He hasn't been in a position where an opponent can throw up a very legitimate |
| 1:40.0 | submission, but either way my point is accurate. We've never seen him get a takedown and you could argue that like there was a couple of moments with Adhesanya where he did grab him and pull him down to the ground. I think you get my point though, when he's not out there doing submissions and to |
| 1:56.9 | believe that he could be in the conversation or goat. It's very interesting Even when you look at his kickboxing, it's very straight on. |
