Pantoja - hit or miss Dvalishvili - boring Topuria - very entertaining Makhachev - entertaining Muhammad - super boring Du Plessis - entertaining Pereira - very entertaining Jones - entertaining but ducking Zhang - entertaining Shevchenko - entertaining but last fight was boring Pena - don’t care
@@TriforceElder08good point he is, but I can kinda see why some some folks would view his fights that way- 1. Past several fights have gone to decision. 2. His overall personality being chill + English isn’t his 1st language. Then 3. That division is overall on the weaker side.
Pantoja puts on mostly bangers, his next fight should be fireworks. And I would put DDP in the very entertaining category, dude brings it every time. Only fight he had that wasn't awesome was the Strickland fight, and that's because Strickland is allergic to being entertaining
Dumbest myth in MMA right now. Yeah Merab and Belal aren't exactly appointment viewing but between Ilia, Islam, DDP, Pereira and Aspinall you've got some of the most exciting champs we've seen in years on the men's side. Pantoja is also getting a bit of flak lately but he's been in a lot of bangers and his next fight will be fireworks for sure.
Its not a myth. If youve watched long enough youd probably agree the fighters of this era are less entertaining. Inside and outside of the octagon, just a lot less personality. The roster being so much bigger and fighters getting less individual promotion also doesnt help. Ufc needs to trim the roster.
I love good grappling/ wrestling/jujitsu; however, just grabbing someone to just hold them and not try to finish them with a submission or elbows/punches is definitely boring and not combat. You have to engage. Big example: Merab.
Saying Merab’s fights are exciting is just wild to me. I appreciate grappling, but nothing exciting about grappling when you know the threat of submission or a tko is basically zero, same goes with Belal. Everyone else right now tho I think is an exciting champion.
@@Bill-Shakespeare Where TF did I give them orders bro? This is feedback. What's the point of putting in any timestamps if they are mangled like they are for this video.
It should also be said that Merabs fight with Cejudo and Yan was highly entertaining. Same with his fight with the brasilian dude whom I’m blanking on atm. It was really only his fight with Aldo that sucked. But this narrative is set now. So what ever.
There's missing weight and there's failing to make weight. The latter it feels is deliberate a lot of the time so there needs to be harsher punitive measures in place. If you miss weight by a specific threshold then you start a point down
Alex - not boring, far from it Illia - not boring, far from it DDP - not boring, far from it Belal - boring, boring Merab - boring, boring Islam - fun fights more often than not and looking to finish fights Aspinall - not boring, far from it Pantoja - actually has very fun action fights but not as many people pay attention. So… not all of them
These fellas saying Belal isn’t boring makes me question their journalistic Integrity as well as their morals. Literally EVERYONE knows Belal is the epitome of boring. Refusing to say it like it is makes me not want to watch. He sucks. He knows he sucks. Just be honest. Are they afraid to upset Julianna so she stays on the show? I don’t understand. Dana should just cut Belal.
If khamzat would fight somebody coming off a win not to mention he cant make weight n as long as he is fighting over in the desert then he dont have to they just say he is on weight
Pantoja - ok Merab - boring Topuria - entertaining Makhachev -ok Muhammad - boring Du Plessis - entertaining Pereira - very entertaining Jones - don't care/never fights Aspinall - very entertaining Zhang - entertaining Shevchenko - ok The best: Pereira and Aspinall. The worst: Belal
“There are no boring champs”!?!?! Belal is the definition of boring. He sucks. He sucks so much that he should be cut. Champ or not. The most exciting thing he’s ever done is pull out of a fight with Shavkat
Pantoja - hit or miss
Dvalishvili - boring
Topuria - very entertaining
Makhachev - entertaining
Muhammad - super boring
Du Plessis - entertaining
Pereira - very entertaining
Jones - entertaining but ducking
Zhang - entertaining
Shevchenko - entertaining but last fight was boring
Pena - don’t care
The only correct list
Bro pantoja is always action am I wrong?

You forgot the BMF - never boring
Leon and merab are super boring
Leon is not a champion
I’ve been a fan of the UFC since 2018, and only recently I started watching this show. I love it!

I wouldnt say they are boring (except for Belal and Merab), but many of them are quite inactive.

@@marcinolszewski2260they all want to be famous and go on media tours now. Back in the day they did this because they loved fighting
How is merab boring lol he picked up Cejudo and carried him across the octogon like a toddler lmao
Boring as f
O malley fan boys
Cejudo treated like a toddler is always entertaining, but still 0 threat of a finish from merab
I love good grappling/ wrestling/jujitsu; however, just grabbing someone to just hold them and not try to finish them with a submission or elbows/punches is definitely boring and not combat. You have to engage. Big example: Merab.
Short anwser : no
Long answer: if you think think mma is boring, watch something else
It was a fan question
Thank you for the time stamps Ariel 😄
Not only the champions...
Having Alex’s picture on the caption is disrespectful. Guy delivers.
It's just the guy who I can't remember his name who is boring.
You best not be talmbout the Chicago champ
Funny how y’all always go after the Muslim righters or the successful black men . L take OP .
@@JavierNYC423 I don't give a fuck if he is atheist, a christian or a muslim, he is just boring af.

Complete botch job on the time stamps on this one guys. Please fix them. Several questions missing. Couple of questions mistimed.
You could do it yourself? But giving orders is easier eh

"I can see why you would think its boring, you're all casuals" 😂
Thanks for sharing that fart story Ariel. You are a real one hahahah
The shirt got me lolololol
25:35 the guy who asked the question is a fucking CASUAL. Holy shit it’s just Belal and merab but the rest are all bangers

Petesy’s dodgy box shout didn’t get enough respect from the rest of the boys
Alex - not boring, far from it
Illia - not boring, far from it
DDP - not boring, far from it
Belal - boring, boring
Merab - boring, boring
Islam - fun fights more often than not and looking to finish fights
Aspinall - not boring, far from it
Pantoja - actually has very fun action fights but not as many people pay attention.
So… not all of them
How old is Frank?
80.
I have no idea how we get 12 title fight ppv next year. The current champions are the least active we ever had
There’s 8 male divisions , and most of them will fight at least twice
Alex has fought how many times this year? Don’t lump Alex in with not-very-active champs
Alex p is already a ufc legend whys he on the thumbnail 😂

The guy that farted never looked back did he?? 😂😂😂 Changed schools and everything lol
L thumbnail
More main events will go the distance, with not much striking like Leon Edwards vs Belal Muhammad!
Ilia topuria Tom Aspinall Alex pereira are all good
That Pete guy is a hater of grapplers
Belal remember the decision. Get rid of him.
If Dana got chosen for Trumps cabinet he would great at running rallies like UFC press conferences. He would need to bring in Buffer though as well. 😂
Apex is totally fine.
If khamzat would fight somebody coming off a win not to mention he cant make weight n as long as he is fighting over in the desert then he dont have to they just say he is on weight
UFC is on a downslope which noone talks about.
Yes. A downward slope into and absolute ocean of money. 💰
Nobody wants to watch merab lay on his opponent with zero intention to finish with ground and pound or submissions
Pena, merab DuckVilli & pentoja...
Egypt will do that to your stomach
Being the best fighter in the world is not good enough for Ariel. Maybe he should check out pro wrestling.
Apparently you don’t know
IRON!!!
Pantoja - ok
Merab - boring
Topuria - entertaining
Makhachev -ok
Muhammad - boring
Du Plessis - entertaining
Pereira - very entertaining

Zhang - entertaining
Shevchenko - ok
The best: Pereira and Aspinall.

Leon was very boring
They asked about the BMF belt & you guys proceeded to talk about McDonald's for 5 minutes 🤦🏻
Start up a show bro! You can talk about the bmf till the cows come home!
Aside from Chama YES. They all suck
Dart Challenge
AHREN MIKE TYSON

“There are no boring champs”!?!?! Belal is the definition of boring. He sucks. He sucks so much that he should be cut. Champ or not. The most exciting thing he’s ever done is pull out of a fight with Shavkat
Please Ariel, tell me how boring fighting is. I cannot wait for this podcast!
Merab and Belull yes.
