Oban Elliott drinks beers with Ariel Helwani to celebrate UFC 309 KO | The Ariel Helwani Show

[@JamesCF10]

Worked with Oban in a school (he was also working in Nando’s in the evening too) The kids had untold respect for him, as did the staff. To see the journey unfold like this is truly incredible Cymru Am Byth 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@bigdawg8875]

One of my mates worked with him on the railways said he’s a top bloke

Areil is the kinda guy to tip his beer out while you're distracted

Oban is so fucking likeable. What a gem.

[@Tegridytowelie]

Just off the first min. Immediately became a fan.

[@paulhancock]

Oban is basically the exact opposite to Ian Machado Gary. He's not trying to be anything he isn't. just a no BS honest and likeable guy and you just can't help but wish him success. He could definitely become a working class hero in the fight game for Wales, taking a fans around the world as McGregor and Hatton did for Ireland/England. No pressure! Good luck to him.

[@cjetrain]

Brother, do you genuinely think Ian is trying to be someone he’s not? I’m actually so curious - he’s a bit cringe at times and sure, less likable than Oban, but he’s exactly who he says he is: a family man, blue-chip welterweight prospect who has as good a chance as any to be a champion one day.

[@SpyroTek]

​@@cjetrainPeople just don't like him so they say these things. It's weird.

[@themightydragon710]

People love the Irish. Scouse, manc. They haven't got to know the Welsh yet. Oban is the living embodiment of Wales. True gentleman. True warrior

[@Theganjaman88]

People love the scouse? More like despise mate 😂

@Theganjaman88 I thought people loved paddy and till?

Ariel, I love how good you are at what you do and listening to you really helps me. Last year I lost my 21yr old son to cancer and life has been so hard for us. I don't get out much or do anything really anymore. Going to work is the only reason I get out of bed in the morning. He was called Bradley ( Bradderz) and was such a good human being who never gave up. Listening to your interviews keeps me going and I just wanted to say thank you for doing what you do. 👍🙏💙

[@JCsal]

Sending love brother 🖤✨

[@iinntw8740]

We don't truly lose someone in my opinion. When I think of my Grandad now I smile and sometimes laugh. That must mean that he IS funny not WAS funny as I am laughing NOW. All the best to you and your family

[@ArielHelwani]

I'm so very sorry for your loss. Much love my friend. May Bradley's memory forever be a blessing.

As a Canadian I find it much easier to route for the uk fighters, they’re such likeable characters for the most part.

[@Johnsgotti95]

Tbh behaviourally you lot are probably more similar to us than the americans its just the accent would suggest otherwise

[@lukereeves-u1g]

This guy OBAN is absolutely amazing and it’s so good to see how humble he is about this moment I wish him all the best such a nice guy 😊

You're a stud Oban! such a likeable guy and a hell of a fighter. Consider me subscribed brother.

I don't even think Oban realises how much of a top man he is. Hope he goes a long way. Fan here.

[@Adam_67]

Honestly so happy for Oban, he's such a genuine guy who's worked hard to live his dream. More power to him!

[@richritchie5434]

Too see Helwani drink a beer live I can know die happy man. Thank you buddy

[@SFCBEITZ]

This is so dope seeing someone who had a dream, that I am sure very little believed in, and then it gets accomplished, better than how the dream went.

[@marcuslopez1323]

This guy is great. Will be rooting for him in his fighting career. He seems very down to earth humble guy. Very grateful for the position he's in. Also love Ariel and his interactions with people. Very great interview. More like a natural conversation.

[@mmavoid]

Oban is such an inspiration to many not only from his humble origins of wales but Americans too. God bless you oban

[@ketzk]

Loving the new show Ariel on top of his game lately. Loving the more freedom , kicking it back with a beer is so British - felt like two mates

[@jobethtaylor]

And this is why fighters need Ariel! He makes guys likeable and gives them the platform to show the mma community 😂go they are. So cool. Oban seems so cool.

[@Strickmeister]

Ariel needs fighters man. Don’t get it twisted.

[@HaVox361]

Following the footsteps of bret, marshman and jack! Well done mate 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@WalesTheTrueBritons]

Marshman was pathetic. Bret was seriously lacking In fight iq and Shore has been seriously mismanaged by the ufc. I would say on purpose in favour of promoting Pimblett. They'll probably do the same to oban

[@davidchandler1034]

“What’s more believable?” Yes Oban my guy, you’ve got this. Champ champ

[@josephlevitt5869]

what a great guy to listen to and a brilliant role model for young fighters and people for that matter 👌

[@Dean_Cooling]

Oban’s a top top notch guy! Proper Welsh lad. Has it all fighter wise,and for anyone who doesn’t know, Merthyr has been, amongst many things, where dreams go to die. Wish the world for him. Deserves nothing but greatness. Hope the course he has set continues in the direction it’s so far not deviated from, which is straight to the top. So soooo deserving of success. And talk about doing it on the world stage. KO at MSG!!!! Talk about a Gangster Dragon!! Bravo!!

[@Strickmeister]

Does Ariel know that Bisping is the man. Callin bisping a bootlicker is the view we have of Ariel. Constantly hating on Dana, ufc. Bias towards Jake Paul, PFL. He is more of a shill than bisping cuz atleast bisping gets paid and has respect of his peers. Nobody would watch this if the fighters quit coming.

Hope someone tells Oban not to overthink before speaking. Because he is stuttering way too much. You can see he is over thinking while speaking causing him these breaks. Guy's got charisma, so he just needs to speak from the heart. Was pretty irritating to listen to the entire thing
