“They can’t beat you on ability, they can’t beat you on quality, they can’t beat you on consistency and they definitely can’t beat you on work rate.” Eddie Hearn dropping 10/10 promos off the cuff, this guy is one of the all time great promoters. He never misses

I could listen to Eddie & Ariel choppin it up all damn day.

Dang boys… I’m an mma fan and this show is called the mma hour. IF I ORDER A STEAK I WANT A STEAK, NOT A PORKCHOP… YA FEEL ME?!? I used to really look forward to all these shows and watch them religiously but I’m starting to find other channels that are true to mma coverage. God bless and stay hungry. Much respect.

Good to see Kayla back. Have been missing her. Glad to see she has recovered from the mental strain of the first loss. She is one of the greats. Can't wait to see her back in there!

Thanks Ariel and team 💪 good road show

Amazing show as usual!

Plz keep this show to the MMA and not the WWE. You should create a second show called the WWE hour and talk about the male soap opera fake crap there. I love this show but, honestly this fake wrestling talk is turning me off. I realize I'm one person and you don't care but, I listen for the MMA talk not the BS WWE crap.

Missed opportunity for Ariel during the Squarespace Ad near the end. Instead of saying 3 times 3 is 9 he could've said to Frank: "well 3 SQUARED is 9"

Never seen a division like WW where the same guys get repeated title shots when there are fresh contenders in the top 5. Colby's #2 ranked bur already fought for title twice and lost. They pushed for Khamzhat, he's at #3, and like Chiesa said what about #4 Belal. Makes no sense.

Solid interview thanks helwani !

Lol I'm glad someone else noticed. NO, definitely not an Americanism. This was a GCism. They were just talking about malapropisms on last week's shortened episode when they had no guests. The first time Conner said it it seemed like a brain fart, like in the moment his brain couldn't choose between estimate and estimation. He basically just combined the two and went with it. I was shocked when he said it a second time (and confidently)! 😅

Eddie is the best interview always

I wish there was a way to block fake wrestling on the internet as a whole.

Now let’s look at DC resume with Ariel: refuses to shake his hand or hug him but when he sees RC or whatever the hell his name is hugs him and dabs him every second of their interaction. Never mentions Ariel’s name on their crappy podcast, comes to New York and doesn’t even stop by on the mma hour and then when he felt the hate from the public he comes on a year later just to save face. When he’s commenting he doesn’t bring up the mma hour interview even though he’s using the information from the interview by Ariel. All this tells me it’s a one way relationship and that’s not how a true friend acts.

Ariel is the only person who didn’t speak reckless about the UFC/WWE deal. The other 2 guys are kind of clueless as to what this actually means. Ariel is business savvy and aware but he downplays it and defers to the one guy. Meanwhile the one guy clearly doesn’t know where to even focus on the deal itself. Talking about integration and separation of the product?? Bruh just listen to what Vince and Ari said. They laid out what the objectives are. Great job Ariel, the other 2 guys did a disservice to the overall coverage of this monumental deal….

This man takes credit for everything, wwe & ufc have always had ties. I was a massive wwe fan in my early years that has now transferred to combat sports. But growing up the cross over with Brock always intrigued me from my wrestling stand point that later turned to all forms of martial arts and I imagine it’s similar for you and many others.

Alex fighting at middleweight is like Israel fighting at lightweight. Imagine if Israel or Whitaker or Vettori went down to 155 and had success. You would all be clowning them for not fighting people their size.

Its actually insulting Ariel even remotely comparing mma to “pro” wrestling, sure they are athletes, but they are basically glorified stuntman with a predetermined outcome. Mma, boxing, kickboxing, BJJ, those are all arts that require skill. I understand Ariel likes “professional” wrestling but to even put it in the same ballpark is absurd.

I'm not a professional wrestling fan, never watched an event but from seeing some highlights these guys are definitely athletes and it does require skill. Don't think many people could do what they do off the ropes. The big is difference is one is a competitive sport where the other one is simply a theatrical performance. I don't think pro wrestling should be considered a sport since the results are predetermined.
