They really love it. Well, everybody does. I mean, if you look at, it's the difference between our commentary and what I feel their commentary was. We don't hire paid talking heads. We hire people that have actually been in it, done it, love it, and are super passionate about the sport. And I would say that none of them that ever covered the sport back then were.

It would be different. You're not wrong. You're not wrong. It would be different. There's no doubt about it. All those experiences growing up, being a boxing fan, helped create what the UFC is today.

I agree with you 100%. The first UFC happened in 1993, right? Martial art versus martial art. Yeah. And now over the last 30 years, martial arts has evolved faster than, you know what I mean?

What did you think when you saw UFC one with Hoyce? I remember everybody talking that this fight was going to happen and there was going to be no rules and all this other stuff. And we're like, there's no way that's bullshit. And then we ended up at some guy's house that night in Boston and watching it and it was happening and it was fun and it was exciting and everything else.
