| 0:00.0 | What's happening guys? Happy Friday and thank you for joining another special episode of your welcome guys. |
| 0:14.0 | UFC 302 is just a few weeks away and I just spoke with Islam Michael Jeff about his upcoming |
| 0:21.8 | fight. I want to tell you everything that I learned |
| 0:24.3 | plus Alex Volkinovsky has called for a fourth fight with Max Holloway. How do you feel |
| 0:30.5 | about it? Those and much more topics to get to on today's show, |

| 1:50.4 | who they are. Like I'm not putting Vada down, Chale coming out and |
| 1:55.5 | encouraging people to not put themselves under an extra microscope. And then |
| 2:02.1 | let's say that I win that battle. Let's say I influence people. They still don't know who you are. |
