I honestly don't get how people listen to that clown. Specially about MMA because he doesn't even watch it. He watches others videos and goes off what they said for reactions.
@@lukemurray4950 hes a former fighter and he watches some of the fights bro he knows more than you lmaooooo that being said I’m glad Ariel told him off
Ariel has been around FOREVER!! Took me a few years but I’m on board with that guy. Looking back at his career I believe he was one of the biggest driving forces behind MMA. 4reals, he’s as big a fan as we are and made a living doing it. Good on ya brother!! Keep doing you my friend!!
Only the UFC would have handled it the way they did. Woj spoils the entire draft, every trade, signing for the NBA. Schefter/Rapoport do the same for the NFL. Ariel's job is to break stories not make Dana White happy.
Yeah but Dana is a narcissist who complains about freedoms in America and how he people should be able to make their own choices but then turns around runs the ufc like a mad dictator. 😆
You guys are morons. Dana is the only reason we have a UFC and MMA fighters can have career. Ariel leaked information about Dana's business that jeopardized deals. Dana and ufc don't work for or with Ariel. Ariel should have respected the decision to keep it secret. Nobody told snoopy ass Ariel not to share info because nobody from ufc gave him the info. Ariel knew it was a secret and dug under every trash can trying to expose the secret. If you go behind a business back to leak classified info don't act surprised if that business shuns you. How dumb do you have to be to not get that?
@@o1h823 @darth nihilus classfied does sound funny but per definition it's what it was to the company. And o1h8 if you don't know what the secret reveal was then nobody knows what you're doing in this thread. Ariel intentionally dug for the info on UFC big reveal. Found out it was Brock and announced before the UFC did so he could be the first. It's what ALL journalists drool for. It makes sense but it's still dirty and the backlash is justified
You should get Devon Larratt on to interview. Hes filling in short notice for Eddie Hall vs Hafthor Bjornsson boxing match. Double arm wrestling champ from Canada. Amazing dude with an amazing story and he's fighting the god damn mountain!
I must have missed this, I know Luke alluded to it on Morning Kombat but would anyone be so kind to provide me a brief synopsis of what happened between them?
@@melissaduda8334 Luke alleged that when he took over the MMA hour, Ariel's new ESPN show would poach his guests at the 11th hour. Luke felt he was being sabotaged, and was angry when Ariel said something like: 'People found when they took it over it's not so easy". Ariel never talked about his side of the story publically before, but one can only assume those issues is what he was referencing today when he talked about misconceptions and Luke being lied to. Of course, we can't really know what *exactly* the truth is.
I like this. Ariel answering questions from fans, with a unique perspective of the sport of MMA that we love. He rarely had time to have any exchanges with fans with ESPN, etc.
The fact that you and Luke had a conversation and patched things up makes me happier than you'll ever know. When I first started watching a lot of MMA coverage you two were the ones who just did it better than the rest, and I still feel the same today.
Schaub has a achived the most for someone that has the least amount of ability. For that I respect his hustle i.e Being friends with Rogan has really paid off.
But he thinks too highly of himself. How he critiques fighters is pretty funny sometimes. From a guy who never did do a whole lot while in the sport. Nothing worth remembering. Meanwhile Ariel has done more on the media and reporting side.
So because he was a fighter he can’t critique guys but Ariel can…..huh wtf kind of logic is that..your logic basically says only Michael Jordan can critique basketball players cause he’s better than them all lmao
Schaub is mad ariel was all over the showtime broadcast while Brendan was doing some scuffed fight companion at his crap studio. Schaub was all over the Logan paul fight but was mysteriously missing from this one.
Good for you Ariel. There is a reason why you are an award winning journalist. And I am so happy the MMA hour is back. Finally great interviewing again and access to the fighters insights. Happy for you. You were great as the inside cage interviewer last week btw. Hope to see more.
Ariel I’d be remised to say - bravo sir on the new show and coming in white hot landing that Changs CEO gig🙏🏼 The additional sassy / minimal f’s given energy post ESPN has been some high level stuff lol
Not trying to be the pronunciation police, however the proper way to use the word is.. "I would be REMISS" , not "remissed" how most seem to think it's used...i feel like ever since Ariel started using the adjective; which he does use Remiss properly, many others such as Bisping try to sound intelligent and steal Ariel's phrase :) however he says "I would be RIMISSED" which I'm 90% sure that is not it's proper usage...a synonym for Remiss would be negligent..so an example "I would be NEGLIGENT if I didn't let you guys know"....
on a similar note... I'm with Ariel on pronouncing people name correctly..the most recent mis pronouncing that I've noted is also with Bisping saying, "Vincente Luque time and time again...it's "Vicente Luque" there is no "N" before the "C"...its like come on MB, you're a commentator for the UFC! Love Bisping altogether!
Very enlightening Ariel about the Brock thing. Do you think Dana knows your side of it? You didn't knowingly do what he's accusing you of. Yes, problems arose, but you did not know the circumstances or what was going on. It's not like you did something intentionally, like putting yourself ahead of the UFC promo that was about to run. Wow even LT update. This was gold! Loved this video.
Say whatever the hell you want about Ariel; Dude is a legend of the sport and the greatest journalist in MMA history. We NEED a guy like Ariel. Without him, MMA journalism would be a bunch of dull individuals with standard questions. Let him provoke, let him stir the pot, let him piss of White and the UFC; THIS IS WHO HE IS. God bless Ariel Helwani and his family.
I remember hearing TWs corner numerous times imploring him to be more active the entire fight. He also was told he needed to finish the fight to win by his corner I think 6/7 roundish.
It must've been frustrating for the coach, the team, and finally Tyron himself. He was barely in a fight with a guy who used the fundamentals to score a W.
Ariel, you know there's going to be haters regardless. You do a great job, not many people would have the ability and empathy to do the Nick Diaz interview. I love the Diaz brothers, true warriors. Keep up the good work.
I’m CERTAIN at ANY point working directly with the UFC . They have told you to not disclose certain things unless you have received previous permission. You may say they didn’t tell you about Brock specifically but they 100% told you PREVIOUSLY .
Jake is done fighting. He knows he reached his limit. Tommy Fury would crush him 30-60 seconds. No boxers or MMA guys with some boxing skills. He did great as a novice boxer by beating two former legit MMA champs.
@@xRhamnusia Anderson is also in his fourties and the boxed he beat is not of the highest caliber. Its not a sure win for Jake by any means, but it is plausible fornhim to win.
@@damianziokowski8421 The boxer he beat was not of the highest caliber?, he was a world champion😂. And is and always will be a better boxer than Jake Paul.
You know the line about "You don't say something publicly but then just apologize privately, that stuff doesn't fly"? It flew straight over Brendans head. He probably couldn't even understand why.
Been following the UFC since 2006. Long, Long time fan here. Ariel is hands down the best. Dana hated him because he asked hard, Legit questions. Most if not all the fighters respected him. He is just really good at his job and Dana tried to control the entire show. Dana also did this when fighter ranks came out. He was absolutely against it. Because he then couldn’t (as easily) match people as he wanted. Trust me when I say this the issue was never with Ariel it started with Dana.
Ariel never ask questions about a fight all he wanted to know is personal stuff that tried to cause controversy between fighters and Dana classic weasel
Ariel...you're awesome. But I also watch this show to see if the black SUV in the background...ever makes a decision.
😭😭
Dude your hilarious 🤣 😂
Leme get a job ariel

Ill never unsee it
Ariel unleashed. I'm entertained. Let it fly champ!
