0:00.0	What's happening guys? Happy Wednesday! And thank you for joining another special episode of your welcome!
0:22.2	There's been a rumor going around about Charles, Olivera and Justin Gachi. I love it!
0:27.5	And by the way, when you look at the pieces left on the board, it seems like it's gonna be Justin Gachi and Charles Olivera.
0:34.3	So Charles Olivera would like a title shot. Okay great, no surprise, definitely good enough to get one.
0:40.8	And all the boys want a title shot. I mean, I'm not bringing you anything that you actually needed to be told,
0:45.3	but it's relevant to the story because his manager came out and said, and I quote,
0:50.1	Charles Olivera wants to crack at the UFC title, not Justin Gachi.
0:54.0	So Charles Olivera's manager Diego Lima then came out and said, he's won eight fights in a row.

1:41.2	Where is Olivera standing up to this? And by the way, Olivera, even if on accident,
1:45.6	made his fight with Gachi very interesting because he said, I want the title not Gachi who got steamrolled.
1:50.9	Well, nobody talks bad about Justin Gachi. And if you do, you don't get away with it.
1:55.7	So I mean, it's one of these things where he has now aligned himself with Justin Gachi.
2:00.1	And that's a very interesting match. There is no title shot though.
2:03.2	Now, Olivera could be out there hustling. I don't think that Olivera is one of these guys.
