The fact that Ariel ain’t catch up on the WRF line shows he really don’t listen to Drake😂😂

[@Izzy-zh8ck]

chandler and colby talks their way into title shots but sure lets be mad at dagestani privilege lol

[@astrodax2753]

I agree but Colby had merit in terms of win history in the UFC. Chandler has more losses than wins like wtf

[@Izzy-zh8ck]

@@astrodax2753 good point lol

[@Jemreaux]

@16:43 lmao the disappointment in bro voice when Ariel didn’t know what ‘Weston Road Flows’ was 😭🤣

[@Izzy-zh8ck]

I would rather Justin get a title shot than chandler. Atleast he was active and already deserved the title shot BEFORE the max lost. Then theres even Gamrot. Just cause chandler has that dana white privilege doesnt make him deserving. He lost to ALL the top guys and refuses to fight down.

[@bucfanz-vs8wu]

Gamrot was also the back up fighter that got screwed when Charles pulled out. He definitely needs to be more vocal about getting that after showing up and cutting the weight.

[@Izzy-zh8ck]

@bucfanz-vs8wu yeah he did. I'd much rather gamrot get a title shot before entitled chandler

[@Izzy-zh8ck]

in what world would chandler get a title shot. Why are we rewarded guys like chandler and colby for sitting out and avoided fights? Neither deserve to be ranked that high.

[@Birdie121]

Who are you to say what someone else deserves, especially Abt something like this while you're sitting on a couch. You don't deserve to breathe air but somehow here you are

[@keshontruitt3935]

@@Birdie121Woah that was a little rough. I think he has a point.

[@AC-ac999]

Chandler Imo has been sitting out with full support of the UFC due to the CM fight, now that Connor is hurt but planning on returning in a matter of months (who knows), but I'm sure Chandler is discussing whether he should wait or take another fight, Colby is a totally different situation...he is sitting out and should not be rewarded, full stop, drop him in the rankings as well, doesn't deserve to be where he is ranked

[@Tvyoutubeacc]

28:57 lmao! Ric and his hot takes again 😂 just like the Will Smith incident.

[@TKRP21]

A few days before 303 I pulled an autographed Dan Ige from a new topps chrome pack. It was destiny.

[@johna.3163]

Where is Arman tsarukyan talk

[@Gltydave]

It’s actually embedded in the other video Ariel dropped today around the 13 minute mark. Titled “Ariel Helwani Reacts To Heated Dricus du Plessis vs. Israel Adesanya UFC 305 Press Conference”

[@jocollantes4258]

Why is Chandler ranked #6... because of his reputation from another league and people's expectations. He'd been given big names since he entered UFC but he'd never won against any of em. His 2 wins were against Tony, who was on a 3 fight loosing streak prior to their match and Hooker, who was coming off a bad beat down frm Dustin. He is entertaining I give him that but is he for real UFC LW top rank material so far w/ that record in the league? Give Gamrot, Fiziev, Moicano or BSD a crack at him, let's see how he does.

[@boldottoman]

Yeah it's time he fights down. He was super smart to call our McGregor. He essentially dodged the whole set of up and coming top 10 fighters for two years while keeping his spot and status.

[@navigatingmadness180]

A "real, morale reason not to like him"?? Drake has been exposed for hiding a child and having questionable relationships with minors, how many more real and morale reasons would you need to accept that Drake is a creep?

[@ZynxMods]

[@jayslice4371]

Come on Ariel, you can’t be serious. having Conor fight on Mexican Independence Day makes the most sense? Putting Conor on a regular ppv card to make it special and bring in more money than a typical ufc ppv makes the most sense.

[@POWERHOUSEFiteClub]

I think mcgregor is in a swiss rehabilitation center with his family. I saw someone post where he was at and it’s def a place for people with mental and physical disabilities to have a normal living structure because he is so far out of reality he needs normal structure to get back to normal. Whatever the truth is I pray he gets better and over comes his demons. Praying for you Conor

Dana said the sphere would be the highest selling gate of all time if that’s true it has to be mcgregor on that card there’s no other way you can confidently claim that without him being on there

[@drunkpaulocosta]

Lol what makes you think the sport still wants to see mcgregor fight. We already saw him get merked a bunch. The shine of wanting to see him get brained has worn off. It's just people who who like him paying for PPV now

God is sufficient for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs for those who brought us to this situation. By Allah Almighty, I did not write this appeal out of distress and distress. Poverty, O world, they have felt it So, I hope for you. By Allah Almighty, Lord of the Great Throne, he ate what I had in the house. By Allah, my brothers, he is my brothers by sitting in the house. Who has no food? By God, we are in a very difficult situation. We have 6 people entering the house, and my father has died, and there is no one who can depend on us and who lives in it.We live in a rented house because we cannot pay the rent we owe. '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''' My brother, my first words are: I swear to God that I will not lie to you or deceive you. I am a Yemeni girl displaced from the war. My family and I live in a rented house in Al-Shahrab 15,000 Yemenis among us, and now we owe 45,000 for 3 months. The owner of the house is one of the people who does not have mercy, by God, my brother. He comes every day, insulting us, talking about us, and moving from the house to the street because we were unable to pay him the rent. The neighbors saw us crying and came back.They came back to talk to the neighbors and we were given the weekend. So we made him swear by God. He will take us out into the street. Have mercy on him and us. Our country is due to this war and we do not find food for our day, and my brothers and I live in a difficult life. Our father died, may God have mercy on him, and we have no one in this world who was with us in these harsh circumstances. My younger brothers went out into the street and saw...The neighbors eat and stand at their door in order to give them bread even if they break it. By God, to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, they closed the door and expelled them and came back crying. They are dying of hunger. No one has mercy on them and a holiday is returned. I have made a living, and now if one of us helps us with a kilo of flour, I swear to God, I am dying of hunger. My brother, I am an alien to God. Then, I ask you to help me for the sake of God. I ask you, by God, to love goodness and to help me, even if you can, by messaging me on WhatsApp.On this number 00967736246190 and ask for the name of my card and send it and do not be late and may God reward you with all the best, my brothers Sagar, see how they are and help us and save us before they throw us out in the street, you will be lost or we will die of hunger. My family and I ask you, by God, if you are able to help us, do not be late and may God reward you well..`/--~«««~-♡~♡~♡~~•~•~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡♡♡~~: ~:~¡~¡~¡~;I.i.i.i.i.i-...🎉🎉

greatest of all time does not mean the greatest of all time at this very moment in time.... if you are a boxing fan, would you say mohammed Ali is not the greatest because he is dead? do you say Ronaldo or Messi are not at their zenith and that they are disqualified to be the GOAT? get the definition correct. its not GOAT ATM.... ATM referring to AT THIS MOMENT, not automatic teller machine btw .... all time refers to all of time since the inception of humans on earth. just look at the list of opponents and longevity of Jones career. it's not comprised of 32 months and 6 fights. thats called the greatest of 32 months and 6 fights, not all time.
