Reminds me of my German friend saying that when he first went to America in 80-90's people were getting him Lowenbrau beer because it was a " fine German beer " that was heavily promoted in US at the time. He didn't have the heart to tell them that he tried to never drink it back home because it was cheap swill that is only popular with people who want to drink a lot.

My God, I think I'm becoming an Ariel fan. This is my third episode. Now I'm looking forward to Monday. I was so angry after the Volk interview after his first Islam fight. Volk, a fighter I deeply respected and admired,. After seeing him talk with Ariel, I felt like Ariel baited him into saying he was still P4P#1 effectively turning what I thought was the toughest man on the planet into a guy that would renege on a bet. I was furious.

Brilliant question at 52:05 😎
Shout out to the dude who asked about Alex vs. Hill
Ok just because you don’t have a fight doesn’t mean he isn’t in a full training camp. Say you break your leg as a martial artist and your sidelined for a year your going to go and do a full camp just to get back to where he was physically before the almost career ending leg injury. He has no idea what his limitations are he is going to be reinventing he entire style and having to get it to the level of the top of the UFC. Now it will all depend on if its just money or is he really expecting to go all out and do a final run for the belt. Plus he has the Dana and UFC putting out a date and then changing the dates and putting him on ice since way before the leg injury so if he expects to keep his spot he has to be ready at a drop of a hat if they spring a replacement spot for the title or a big huge super fight with Chandler. He is in a very tight spot with the injury and his age and the layoff not to mention the fact he is coming back in a two fight losing streak.
do it!!
British trivia questions made my night
I think the bisping thing comes form the fact that half or more of his content is based on things said on this show but he never credits you. Same goes for Chael......
Isnt something supposed to be announced on Saturday ? At this point so much has been made of it that I’m not sure any fight will satisfy however.
I just feel unless Alex get knocked out by 1 shot he’s gonna absolutely dominate this matchup
" last night as I took my last bite of what was a tantalizing gorgonzola and crusted steak " 😂
Could be wrong but thinking McGregor is gonna main the first UFC event at the Sphere.
Ariel on the full send podcast with danna😮 internet breaker
GC never misses.
The Charles Radke thing is WILD. Its super clear he was just talking about getting paid for fighting. Had nothing to do with paid interviews.... i mean, he answered everyone and was in a good mood the whole time. Yall just misunderstood and WANT to be mad at him... 😂😂😂😂
According to Urijah Faber (on of Sage coaches)'s interview with MiddleEasy channel: - 10:30 PM, the day before the fight in Japan, Faber learnt that Fabio Prado and Sage's dad could not be at the conner. - Urijah Faber had a visa and can be at the corner. - 1:00 PM, on the fight day, Faber talk to Sage face to face, if Sage want to fight he can be at his corner, but the general consensus was: ... "He did not feel comfortable fighting... he is a very very big man in faith, he has relationship with GOD and the HOLY SPIRITS... He did not fell like fighting..." ... It seems like for Sage the One165 event in Japan was just a matter between him and God and the holy spirits. Not at all about the organization, his opponent, and the audience (who already paid the money to watch him fight).
I do think they do both DDP/izzy AND Leon/Belal, that would be four 5 round fights on the main card. That’d be too long.

Idk why, I just feel it's aspinall vs Pereira. Aspinall will fight anyone. Poatan is healthy. It's a great fight. Put Leon vs boring bilal on there too.

Obviously the ufc and conor dont want chandler to be conors next opponent. If they did, they already wpuldve announced them at 300. Im betting they are stringing him along, hoping he takes the hint and moves on. There is only one fight that conor would really get up for and that is the nate trilogy. Anf the ufc knows it has to happen and after his last injury, i dont think they wanna risk conor fighting someone else. People can say what they want, but the trilogy has to happen asap.
