Ariel Helwani sucking off Leon Edwards the entire interview while giggling like a school girl was a tough watch
Agreed.
Ariel will roll in his bed if Belal wins
Yeah joey that shit was pretty strange too
Absolutely
Thanks for taking one for the team so we didnt have to suffer through it all 👍
Leon likes joking about Belal being boring, but mofo sent everyone to sleep Dec 16 by throwing 10 strikes per round vs a guy who insulted his dead father. Colby made fun of his dead father and made him cry and this guy point fought him.
Facts. At least belal got his excuse for being a decision guy ( he's a wrestler ). What's leon's excuse? He's a striker he should ko people. That's why I want belal to win. Yes, he's boring, but at least he's active. Leon is boring and inactive. We all know that he's taking on shavkat if he wins
That is facts
I mean I kinda get wanting to not let your emotions get the best of you if you're Leon, but he loses the right to call anyone boring after that performance
@@aboodthebest7726fought more recent then bumlel 1-0 over him already and shavrat gets slept too barley beats grampas
@@krayzyelfenomeno04 That fight was no contest. Leon ran from a rematch after Belal tried to do him a solid by stepping up.
You've grown on me because of your realness joey
So true!
💯🫡
Ariel is a Weasley lil 🤡
100%
This is why i want belal to win 💀just so leon gets karma
Same. Also, I wonna see the reaction of ariel
What karma? Belal called leon boring in his latest interview
@@joestr8848they're both boring af
@@goodxd701 two boring fighters calling eachother boring, who gets the karma?
We all remembering the name now 😂
So happy I unsubbed to airel. Hearing his voice on your video makes my skin crawl
Same
Ditto.
Same, cant support that little rat. Made sure their not recommended as well
Leon calling anyone boring is just hilarious. The guys about as entertaining as drying paint
@Dob_Ogurt Bro, he literally got beat up for 24 mins and 50 seconds lol. But if you think 10 seconds is exciting, then you probably have performance issues
@Dob_OgurtThen beat him again. I agree on the fact he needs to be more active (2 fights a year) to further solidify his legacy and change a lot of fans opinions. IMO.
@Dob_Ogurt at that moment i was not even watching the event anymore, thats how exciting that fight was, not only leon to blame tho
I am SO SICK of everybody calling out Conor. 🤦🏼♀️ And it seems like Leon legit thinks he’s a draw. 😂
Smoked all your favs and belel
No, that’s why he wanted on 301 and wants Conor. Both would grow his brand.
I agree I’m sick of everyone calling out Conor to. And it’s nothing to do with Conor it’s everything to do with the person calling him out. Like Buckley come on like your gonna fight Conor or Illia you just got the belt and your gonna call out Conor who has fought at FW in a very long time 😂 They sound dumb to me when they call him out
@@Weeks25i understand a very few words of what you just said. Buckley is champ and calling out Ilia and Conor. My genuine reaction is. Nigga what the fuck are you talking about😭
@@krayzyelfenomeno04 by smoke you mean one finish in ten years
I hope belal wins ..we don't need inactive champion who rarely defend title with his own title contenders .. damn I missed kumaru era
You mean rematching guys back to back who hadn't earned it? Y'all forgot how people used to cry about Kamaru apparently being inactive too?
The same people begging for a Volk rematch now whining about nOt dEfEnDinG with hiS OWn cOnTendErs. NPC energy.
Leon isn’t inactive he rematched usman so he had to wait then he fought Colby and he was being difficult especially with behind the scene stuff then belal and many other fighters were in Ramadan which pushed him back again he’s said yes to everyone
leon said yes to dana 4 times in a row
and u guys act like leons the one holding up the division
bad research from joey caused this video
and then this video causes peoples narratives to change all because of bad research
Ariel isn’t a Leon fan. He’s just a Belal hater. It’s because ✡️ and Belal is 🕌
Ariel's uncle is gad saad. Gad works for mossad. His job is to spread lies and fear about the religion of Islam. He's a horrible human. Ariel takes after him
Someone had to state the obvious
Ariel will piss on his own mother’s face if it meant there was a chance that Belal, Khabib, Islam or Ali would get hit with a drop of backsplash.
Ariel's uncle is gad saad. He's a mossad agent. His job is to spread lies about islam and make you fear Muslims
I’m not an Ariel fan but he has been glazing Leon for years now .
Finally ppl are starting to root for the right guy. Let’s go Belal get Leon tf outa there!!
Actually Belal been getting pretty popular due to Mojahed’s videos. Arguably more than Leon, right now.
Maintaining a meritocracy is critical for maintaining integrity of the sport. It's one of the reasons why the Jones v Stipe fight is so problematic.
Yeah but money 😂
@@grimgoreironhide9985 If marketed correctly, the UFC can sell more PPVs with Jones vs Aspinall as opposed to Jones vs Stipe.
Ariel ratwani is at it again
As much as people doesn't like Bellal, he can't be denied because he wins fights leaving the ufc with any other choice. Leon better not go to the distance.
Dare I say… Belal has a bigger name than Leon?
It's slowly turning into the wwe. Giving connor a title shot would be the equivalent to putting the harlem globe trotters an NBA championship appearance.
Sadly
Conor McGregor is going to WWE after he loses to Chandler
Leon recklessly eye poked Bella. Not an accident.
He didn’t do it on purpose hoping to poke belal, he was getting momentum on his body kick which is what everyone does and he caught belal
he did it twice, once in 1st round and even after a warning he did a really hard one in the 2nd round. Belal still has to wear sunglasses even inside .. just after the fight also or weigh ins or wherever except gym etc.
I just finished watching and this is definitely a certified MMA JOEY banger! 🔥🎯💯
Mate your talking like Edward's vs Belal being on at 5am in this country is nothing but I'm traveling from Glasgow for it I'd usually be sleeping for 12, Now I'm expected to be in an arena from 12 to 5-50am and then get home. The UFC is not solely dependent upon American ppv sales , there's gate money, the guaranteed money paid yearly by BT Sports to show ufc content etc
I want Chandler to win so bad now so no champs can call Connor out.
This is a ridiculously dumb take.. People we still call out Conor cuz it's a big Money fight 🤦♂️
Once Leon loses the belt, he will never get another title shot. I can't stand Champs that want to fight 1 time a year, and I'm sure the UFC feels the same
Ariel could be an actually valuable independent media personality but instead he chooses to talk about stupid WWE type shit like this
Belal is going to win that belt. I dont much like both there fight styles. Lets see.
Leon’s turned into an absolute tool , I want belal to waste him so the division moves on
Has anyone become more unlikable than Leon Edwards? Good video ..I agree with pretty much everything..... Connor title shot would be disgraceful over say Shavkat.... Completely awful
How is he unlikeable. Bro is just humble😂. And ariels the one who suggested the connor fight, leon just said ”sure” to it. Doesnt mean leons waiting for the connor fight. Bro is just a bandwagon hater who has no opinions of his own😂
@@dirtmcgirt8644 who me? No opinions? .ok ....anyway I respect your decision.... I feel like Leon has lost some of that humility. I liked his humble....I feel like...Idk ... And for Leon to act like him and Connor should fight? Why .. because if you fight a Miss champion you get pay-per-view points that you can't get on your own with your own name... And that's fine but don't act like oh that's the fight to make me versus McGregor McGregor's won one fight since 2016.. it's just my opinion.. Rihanna Edwards isn't as likeable as he was a year ago.. And he never fights
Americans can't handle that Leon has beaten your best fighters haahaa
@@Scrambled-f9v like who?
Colby has a better shot at fight conor than Leon
You're a fan of your own opinion. Not "The facts"
These call out videos of yours are needed for some MMA checks and balances.
this the first time uk ppv has been catered to start for f in americas Why , you are probably right
but at the same theres loads of nonsense ufc ppv THAT are not draws but are aired at the TIME OF THE COUNTRY
so its not just leon not a draw
THIS YEAE HAS HAD SOOO MANY SHIT PPV THERE NOT DRAWS NETHER BUT THEY WERE AIRED AT NEW ZEALAND TIME FOR EXAMPLE
This video was gold. Telling it like it is 👏🏻
ariel 'the weasel' helwani
It is kind of funny how Belal and leons journey where so similar.
Leon was the "I believe i deserve a shot at the title" MEME
and Belal is the "Dana Please! Give me my shot!" MEME
i am only 7 min in the video... why are you upset ? Because the man said he doesn't know why they change the time for PPV ? Saying that last time Kamaru etc... the card is good, Aspinal Allen Mokaev Paddy and more
This is one of the most pointless videos on the whole internet. This guy's a clown
Because Leon is a walking talking HYPOCRITE
@@davidodonnell663Suck Leon harder please
@@thekinghash a walking talking hypocrite... with a belt.
The USA cant handle the fact that Leon has beaten your best haahaa 🇬🇧
Honestly I prefer Leon over Islam getting to fight Mcgregor. Leon has had some shitty luck having to fight people he shouldnt have had to. This is his payback for having to fight colby
Absolutely. Colby shouldn't have got the title shot in december
Mcgregor fighting for the title at any weight class is a smack in the face to all the other fighters who actively fight for their chance to get the belt
Ariel deep throats anyone who comes onto his show, he's getting mega paid to pry and twists shit people say, annoying
Belal - Palestinian
Helawani - Israeli J3w
Ariel will piss on his own mother’s face if it meant there was a chance that Belal, Khabib, Islam or Ali would get hit with a drop of backsplash.
Facts!
Seriously Joey? How come you get so mad at this? What do you expect Leon to say? "yeah, I am a boring fighter and can't sell ppvs?" Grow up a little bit dude, Leon has said yes to whatever UFC throws at him and he has always promoted himself in a respectful and honest way. Kamaru is a bigger draw? Yes, but guess what? Leon beat him TWICE. This interview was just an OKAY interview. I really can't believe someone can get that angry at this. Maybe you're just lacking content to create, idk. Anyways, respect Leon.
Agreed, guy got way too angry at Leon, who barley talks shit about people. Saying he will ruin the welterweight division? Calm down dear, everybody wants the Connor fight and now you slagging off Leon for making his claim? Come off it
I really hope Conor loses so all these fighters stop calling him out.
Belal and Leon the same road. I admit not fair for Leon to deny him a shot. I got Leon
Leon needs subtitles..... 😑
I live on the East coast so it would end up on in the afternoon. Most fans I talk to love afternoon fights.
Bro I’m so tired of everyone calling out Conor. Bro hasn’t been good in so long. Most overrated fighter of all time.
Does Joey not understand why Ariel would support the opponent of someone named Muhammad?
I never watched you, but it looks and sounds so true. ufc and combat sports don't want or need fighters like that cause they should want views for profit
Belal getting the W he’s fighting for FALASTEEN 🇵🇸
Didn't you say that Chandler would be back in the title picture with a win over McGregor?
Why shouldn't Connor be in contention after that win?
Good point
Conor will never win a fight again, he abused so much opioids to the point he can't even articulate properly.
Thanks for making these videos of interviews i otherwise wouldn't be able to get through without falling asleep.
Joey💖💖💖 thank you 🙏🏽for being the best mma youTuber
huh ? dude are you good in you're head ? 1. Leon never said these words, or literally 2. Your slanderous, your making it seem like he actualy has pre meditative plans about ruining the welter weight division. Meanwhile he said he want to fight more at welter which is you're only angle but Leon said he wants to fight more and he hasnt done enough so where does this twist narrative come from that he wants to ruin anything ? your just cherry picking what you want to hear and deluding it bro. This is just obvious click bait. try being factual with you're titles man, your just straight out lying like wt.
Leon barely fights and had to be forced to fight the #1 contender he cried about getting a title shot for years then he does the same thing 😂
Ariel Has Supported Leon Since Before He Was Champ.
.
3 THINGS -
Leon calling out Connor? When we know he isn't getting past Balal Muhammad lol.
Connor fight is only interesting because it's going to be fun to watch Chandler beat the fkn breaks off him.
WWE is garbage, the closer UFC gets to wrestling the worse off the company and ita reputation will be. Shit talk and Pre fight Drama is only cool when it feels Authentic.
The Abu dhabi card is selling alot of ppvs even when it goes on during the day. Ufc 294 did 700 k
The reason why the 304 card in Manchester is at a crazy time while the London shows aren’t is because the 02 has a strict curfew stating events need to be done by a certain time. I’m assuming the Manchester arena doesn’t have that which is why they also had Bisping vs Henderson 2 in the middle of the night in Manchester.
Lmao it’s incredible how much hate belal gets and when you stick up for him now you’re a sorry fanboy 😂😂 get outta here
Ariel Helwani sut sucks any fighter who comes on his show + nuts sucks any fighter who is going against the UFC and SHITS on fighters who are managed by Ali(cuz he won't let Helwani have them on his show) and therefore he indirectly shits on Belal
When Islam and Volk fought for the number #1 P4P spot at UFC 284 and Islam WON. Ariel came on the show and shat on Islam and had Leon above Islam in the P4P rankings he literly said that before leon had a single defense and Islam just won the P4P contest. There's your background.
Ariel's likely a bigtime Zio and Belal's palestinian
Joey hates Leon so much 😂
Belal clearly on peds
When you're the CHAMPION. You can say whatever the F you want.
i don't care about both of them but what i respect is you always looking for the truth and thinking with your brain even if it is against what everyone says,,RESPECT
It's no wonder why Leon is so unlikable...
Damn you are a professional complainer
The best video you have ever done I gave up on Ariel long ago. Two faced instigating snake.
Leon is the epitome of not staying humble and the same person you were before after winning the belt. Dude is far gone off his rocker. When he said Belal didnt even deserve a shot when he was in the exact same position two years ago really rubbed me the wrong way. But what the hell is he talking about Belal is like colby. They are basically polar opposites. One will fight anyone anytime on short notice and earn his spot, the other sits out for a year and a half waiting for the perfect matchup because hes a scared little child inside. I get the feeling Leon is much more popular in the UK and has really blown his head up. Used to like the guy but almost cant stand him anymore.
Ariel the type of guy who needs to be loved. Different between him and so called “ Real journalists” he tends to LIKE to be in the middle of conflicts where as GREAT reporters/journalist report the news instead of creating it.
Whines toooo much for a guy in his position. Hypocritical, terrible analytical skills. Takes jab at fighters/fans then cries about it and acts the victim when it gets thrown back at him.
Only CASUALS consider Leon as an INACTIVE champ! Its not Leon's fault that the UFC/DANA wanted to hold up the WW division by giving Colby an undeserved titel shot. It"s not Leon's fault that the UfC offerd Islam, Khamzat and Shavkat a title shot for UFC 300 instead of Belal. Use your brain casuals!!!
He's an inactive fighter and champ. Lol 3 fights in 2 years is active. Who's the casual
You do know WHY he didnt fight huh simpleton?! Please do your googles
@@MTvanka because he's inactive. Duh
@@TK.D36he had to wait for usman to be cleared, had to wait to see who he was fighting then ended up getting Colby who wasted his time then was supposed to fight a couple months after at 300 but everyone they gave him was Muslim so they couldn’t fight plus belal as well please do ur research
@@ctrlfox2611 The average mma fan has room temperature iq. Asking them to do research is asking too much. I hope leon continues to win so they stay mad.
Ariel is just friends with every fighter. He always has their interest in mind, so also always talks them and their fights up, even if two fighters might be fighting each other. A good way to look at it is that he's always supported and been for the fighters, all of them, not necessarily any one specific one.
3MORE THINGS -
*MMAJoey* = Always seen it coming, or "Has been saying this for months".
*Leon Edward*= Talks like he has a *Dic in his mouth.
Ariel*= Apeals to guest ego, to stir drama pot.
Leon is the worst ufc champion. An inactive fighter and a decision king, has no personality and talks with a leprechaun voice.
Ya it was cool when Leon beat Usman but Leon is lame af. And of course we all know Ariel is terrible
You don't half talk some dribble _'Joey'._ Scrapping the barrel here to serve your dislike for Leon and your fanboying for Belal. You're trying to go in on a guy who has said yes to everyone the UFC has put in front of him, including killers like Khamzat and Shavkat. Dana has said this and he's not shy about calling out fighters who stall.
As for Leon being a draw? Are you slow? The whole UK (or at least england) would/will show out for him, plus Aspinall is on the card who has a huge following. The card timing has nothing to do with _'being a draw'._
Do better, you're acting like an MMA Guru from TEMU. Feeding off of negativity, _drama,_ and detractors from certain fighters to get views.
I agree,UFC 286 wasn't the better draw.
Edwards vs Muhammad 2 Edwards vs Usman 3
Aspinall vs C.Blaydes Gaethje vs Fiziev
Pimblett vs B.Green Nelson vs Barbarena
Allen vs Chikadze Vettori vs Dolidze
Mokaev vs Kape C.O'Neal vs J.Maja
MMA JOEY you really think Edwards vs Usman 3 was a better card than Edwards vs Muhammad 2?
Edwards vs Usman 3 was a good main event(because of the "sensation" in their second fight)and Fiziev vs Gaehje was a banger but Edwards vs Usman 3 wasn't one of the most anticipated title fights in 2023 and nobody cared about Nelson(a grappler)vs Barbaren(with no ground game) and J.Maja vs O'Neal
On the other hand you have 2 title fights,Pimblett(who has still a lot of fans and the other people will watch because they want him to lose)and Allen vs Chikadze and Mokaev vs Kape are more compelling to watch(for the most fans) than Nelson vs Barbarena or the women fight.
Overall Edwards vs Muhammad 2 is the better card and the fight between Edwards vs Usman wasn't that big as Adesanya vs Pereira 2/J.Jones comeback/Pereira vs Jiri/Islam vs Volk 1 and 2 or Sterling vs O'Malley.
I don't know the reason behind the decision the UFC made but i don't think it was because they thought the main card of Edwards vs Muhammad 2 would be worse than the main card of UFC 286 last year.
If Leon wins his name needs to be mentioned above WWs liks Hughes, Woodley and Lawler. 13 wins in a row, beat Usman 2x, Belal (potentially) RDA, Cowboy, Diaz, Colby, Luque, Gunnar etc. His resume would be really impressive 💯
What part besides Usman is good?
Woodley had four defenses he’s absolutely number 4 and Hughes is number three easy. Leon can compete for five
Agreed 💯
Leon likely has already earned his ticket to the HoF but to truly be a stand out pillar of the UFC WW to me? He needs to beat Shavkat.
@@Cc81727 Hughes fought bums. Wouldn't even crack top 10 in today's WW division. Who u beat matters and I'll take his two wins over Usman over any of Hughes wins
spot on again !
Remembering Edwards being snarky towards Jorge, and Jorge promptly touched Edwards up.
Too bad that fight got cancelled. Leon is a snarky bore.
Jorge would have got pieced up. He's undefeated when it comes to sucker punching and jail time though.
Leon is beyond overrated. Ima bout to start among videos just to showcase that clown lmao
good vidieo JOEY maMan🙏🏿
You talking facts ❤️
You spent 31 minutes talking aboht next to nothing here. Leon has legitimate gripes with yhe ufc having him fight at 4:00 am in his home country, disappointing all his countrymen. And you complained about light trash talk, when trash talk is what 99.9% of ufc fighters do in an attempt to sell fights.
Leon genuinely wanting to give McGregor a title shot in his next fight is not 'nothing' imo
Thanks for the video, MMA JOEY
"I see what you did there." Honestly, the puns using Belal's nickname are so numerous that they start to be a bit boring. But what they DEFINITELY don't need is an extra explanation from Ariel.
I have no idea how someone manages to understand what leon says.
There just aren't that many stars in the ufc anymore.
Of course it should be on GMT, filming shit in the middle of the night is ridiculous, money>fans as usual.
To give context on why Ariel loves Leon, prior to Leon vs kamaru 2, Leon did an interview with Ariel and kamaru did not, through that podcast Ariel just naturally took a bias pro Leon side and decided to invest in the idea of Leon winning and kept insisting Leon don’t forget him if he pulls of one of the greatest moments, and Leon kept his word and came back after the fight, since then Ariel has taken a complete pro Leon stance, I used to watch Ariel everyday so trust me on this one lmao
They're going to do it. Its the end of days. Whether you agree or not. Everything is going to be reset
On “weighing in podcast” with big John and Josh Thompson they both agreed that if Connor beats chandler he will get a title shot , regardless of his record
Belal is training with Khabib team & the last time he thoroughly trained with them he shocked everyone giving Sean Brady his first L & not by decision.
Will be hilarious if he definitively beats Leon, the Belal haters of which there is a HUGE community will be crying all night.
I honestly would like to see Conor vs Leon for WW title.
Edwards has totally squandered his head kick KO hype. He drove any interest people had in him straight off a cliff between his inactivity and unimpressive performance against Colby.
There’s one thing Ariel is good at staring up drama.. Weasel is a good word!!
Good video Joey
The UFC has been letting their more popular fighters cut the line for years. I dont like it because it cheats the ranked fighters out of their title shots, but its a business and sometimes they have to do those type of fights to make money.
Leon is Champ 🏆
Ariel is MMA GOAT
Leon didn't say that Belal sucks Joey! Let my fav sell the fight.🤨😁
Bruh, Belal ,even in his wildest dreams can't win by finishing the fight...he can only win by decision. That's his own words. I mean, kinda hard to support someone that only believes in themselves halfway.
I miss Usman!! Usman grew on me after he lost his belt. Even tho people hats him he is respectful and a fucking animal
Didnt they say smt about ufc can only have 2 ppv's a year outside of normal time and 2 other ppv's were already booked outside of normal US time
Leon was never really a trash talker all of his career. The guy has bear Usman twice, then defended against Colby. Let the man talk a little bit of crap.
Also Belal is boring and nobody cares to watch him fight. Leon can't highlight that?
Lastly, everybody wants the Conner fight. Everybody is calling for it.
Different Manager / Agency !!!
Leon is with Tim Simpson.
Conor should be with Paradigm.
👍✊
