You're listening to the Co-Main Event Podcast,

and now your hosts, Ben Folks, and Chad Dundas.

That's right, you're listening to another episode of the co-main event mixed martial arts podcast.

I'm Chad Dundas. That's Ben Folks. We're both longtime MMA journalists and for the last 11 years.

We've been meeting here every week to break down all the action in the wild, weird, and occasionally wonderful world

the potential of that to change the landscape of MMA. And if it would, and what we would expect from it if it did indeed happen.

So we'll get into all of that stuff, I think coming up in the next hour.

First, before we get into any of that, though, I wanted to send a shout out to our guy,

Andrew Millington, a longtime friend of this show, a guy who has helped us out in the past on

numerous occasions.

He had an accident over the weekend, a fall resulting in a fracture of the skull. He was in the hospital

over the weekend. He is out now. It seems like he is going to be okay, but his family has some

medical bills that they need to take care of. So first of all,

we wanted to say we're really glad that Andrew is on the mend and that it seems like he's

going to make a full recovery. And secondly, if you look over at my Twitter account at Chad Dundas
