33:50 that dude just T bagged Ariel’s whole team 😂 I love it

[@JustusPaul1]

thank you for that, i definitely would not have watches that far

[@Krogrosen]

Why?​@@JustusPaul1

[@newbluerugby]

@@JustusPaul1agreed

[@ADEOLADEEBO]

I’d love to see Conor vs Leon. Even tho Conor has got no chance it would still be massive over here. Conor brings the big fight feel regardless, Leon deserves a big 1

[@joshladd5073]

Islam shouldn’t get an immediate title shot if he wins. He has defended twice against a featherweight he will have lost his first defense against a lightweight

[@MrFlabbergasted123]

Dustin was a featherweight too even if he wins dude only fight former featherweights

[@TheDuketexas04]

Yo I love these videos! Thank you guys for all the work you do!

[@ericvalencia-hb5zv]

LOVE WHAT ARIEL SAID ABOUT DP @30:00min

[@brendondowdy5651]

What type of fool pays for ppv. Streaming for free is cheaper and it actually works. If you buy the ppv from espn plus it crashes and lags but if I stream it for free it actually works. Seems like a no brainer

[@SquatchNomad]

I'm the fool who pays for the right card - but money isn't an issue for me. Usually streaming sites crash/freeze most likely from viewer overload. Never experienced ESPN+ crashing.

[@brendondowdy5651]

@SquatchNomad do you live in america? Also what device do you watch the ppv on? You should listen to Luke Thomas vs espn plus video from about 2 weeks ago. I've never once heard of someone not having massive issues with espn plus lol. You are extremely lucky.

[@SquatchNomad]

@brendondowdy5651 I live in CA. I've been renting UFC fights a lot over the past 3 years and watch most Fight Nights. No issues. I also have a Samsung that I stream on when I'm away and can't buy the fight. Most times are good, but it's not uncommon for me to get kicked.

[@brendondowdy5651]

@SquatchNomad I use to purchase them but they just had nonstop issues and then I found a site to stream them that has 0 issues lol. Also like the ppv would crash and I would miss the entire main event and ufc would never refund anything. So I just took it as a sign lol

[@jamesgillson1628]

Dustin can't win a decision, can he? Would love to see the gilly but there's no chance. It's KO or bust I think.

[@baljeezy]

Ariel's Aces is a good name for the MMA Hour fandom related to question 32.

[@cathaldowdall7467]

Where is McGregor bit??

[@hareshck7202]

00:21:00 Do you think you can last a night out with the Mac?

[@donjoy33]

70 year olds climb Everest now…you buy your way

[@dxbbred]

Arman next to Kayla Harrison again 😅

[@m1keyfreshhh256]

Max is better then Dustin if you go by them as fighters and their careers. Max lost to volk 3x. Besides that he’s basically dominant everytime

[@conor-_C]

still lost to dustin though

[@Justin-zv3fz]

Where do you ask the questions?

[@DoubleMKGaming]

33:50 as Sheak420 said

[@habitatshredder]

There’s no timestamp talking about McGregor.. 🧐

[@itsbigg]

21:00 they talk about Mac, as in MCGregor

[@benweaver1762]

Charles Oakley should not have his number retired… dude was a one time all star lmao

[@ricktheruler1665]

14:50 so basically if Conor wins he should fight for the 170 belt since that’s the weight class they’re fighting in

[@gabrielsilvas692]

Stopppp comparing analogies to scripted WWE c'mon Ariel you're better than that well at least more realistic

[@newbluerugby]

This aged well

[@user-sk6dv2hf5b]

So you're just going to ignore Ryan Garcia's B-sample coming back positive 🤔? Must be nice being in his pocket...

[@emptyscience]

9th question 34:22 was 10-7 from the fan :D shout out to that random dude

[@Sheak420]

That was me bro!

[@martysmith2851]

Masvidal V Diaz 2 in the UFC would be a popular fight, Masvidal V Diaz 2 in boxing will flop

[@ADEOLADEEBO]

Shoutout to who ever on the team handles the time stamps 🫡 love ya whoever you are. Shoutout GC also, show wouldn’t be the same without you mate

[@POWERHOUSEFiteClub]

The ticket prices are crazy , I sat front row at a wwe PLE for 300 bucks, nose bleeds at McGregor chandler are a thousand bucks 😂same company now btw so if wwe is doing it no reason ufc can’t just sold for billions of dollars lol

[@Jsambo]

Dana should make every Russian or whatever the f fight early hours of saudi time,do it for one event that’s far better than saudi do it in saudi to,bet a grand they won’t though

[@dennis3224]

I’ll be so upset if Dustin and Conor win and fight each other again

[@JoshuaWeber92]

Don't know how to say this. But opinion is, is that questions picked by ariel, basically seems like he's asking them himself and forming his own narrative even though its other peoples questions. What about different people pick the questions each week from the team? Instead of 1 person

[@joelkaeber]

They should offer prelims within the subscription of some streaming platform.

[@likeitis5662]

He has won 1 in the last 5

[@nrsolja1022]

34:00 no that's not all you said. You guys were talking about how irrelevant the current champion is, so no one wants to see it. So yes you were talking down on a fighter.

[@rjdman5588]

Rick is a hater on dustin's shorts. they want wwe gear? ya im sure itll be easy to fight wearing a roman reigns vest and a kane mask lol

[@MrFlabbergasted123]

Tbf mfs used to fight in actual gi

[@JigglinJedi]

I love the wrestling talk

[@DieRimas]

To think a Dustin vs Conor 4 for a title is something mma fans want is insane. Ariel and his team have been to too many misfits events.

[@DontLookAtMyProfilePic11]

🧐Don’t let this distract you from the *fact* British shops used to have signs on their windows and shops which read *NO BLACKS* *NO IRISH* *NO DOGS ALLOWED*

[@gsmoove9315]

💯

[@BennyAvesXYZ]

Would be poetic for Leon vs Conor to fight in the UK then, Leon's black, Conor's Irish and they both got that DAWG in them!

[@rman229]

Wouldnt want vermin coming in and trashing your place of business either.. You want to go ahead and be the first to open your doors to them? You'll instantly become a target Dont judge people you were never in the shoes of you wouldve done the same

[@DontLookAtMyProfilePic11]

@@rman229 Nobody cares😴🤣

[@daniel-fz9yc]

The Helwhiners

[@tito5428]

A cage fighter partying before a fight is a concern? We should only have nerds and incels fight. Anybody with a vice, stay out of the octo

[@rjdman5588]

They should change the title from the mma hour to the introverts hour

[@angeloberardi5834]

Third NOT!

[@BlvkColossus]

Islam gonna break yall lil hearts on Saturday.

[@ethantanner8255]

First

[@martysmith2851]

Conor isnt winning any fight

[@enradso1]

These guests are awful Ariel, wow
