The Ariel Helwani Show | Breaking news announcement, Alexandre Pantoja, On The Nose | Dec 11, 2024

Ariel is the best conversational interviewer on my radar. I watch the show without knowing that much about MMA, I just like the way he gives the fighters space to relax and open up.

[@dchappell3924]

Dude Pantoja is the best and so humble. When Ariel brought up the P4P list and Alex being 9th he tried to paint it as a negative thing, Alex just appreciated the fact that he’s considered one of the top 10 best in the world

I didn’t watch that segment. Would you be able to sum it up in a couple sentences? Actually while writing this he Ariel just said Pettis and Kevin Lee signing with them? Are those the only ones they mentioned? That’s pretty cool I think Kevin Lee can still make an impact. I wish he did bare knuckle and have a Mike Perry resurgence

[@yunzyleighton8904]

Anthony 'Showtime' Petis is one of my all time favourite fighters. Personally, I take the point that some of the fighters are past their prime in UFC terms but that doesn't mean they still don't have a big game left - and of course the promotion can still launch athletes we don't know about yet. One of the most interesting aspects is the emphasis on fighter care. With some of the stuff emerging now about head injuries and the after-effects of damage in MMA this is quite timely. I say give it a chance.

where do you ask the on the nose questions? in the comments?

[@mustybiscuits]

My original comment was wrong. You have to submit questions on his substack. Around 14:15 mark. He mentions it right before responding to Bully.

[@_czar_]

Bro if you have to refute and talk about the halocaust, what about telling the truth about the genocide happening in Gaza. If you're gonna mention that mention this as well

Go to 2:44:50 he talks about it. He says he wants the war to end and he is heartbroken about it.

@@simons4474 😂

[@fearlessjoebanzai]

I'm really intrigued by the team format. If they do it right, like the guy said, there's opportunities for so many storylines and reasons to get invested in it - just look at what went on between the Dagestanis and Merabs team... And Nate Diaz and his crew! Team rivalries are always going on behind the scenes, it could be cool to put that front and center, plus it takes pressure of those guys who aren't good on the mic. I'm interested.

[@philconnolly628]

The fact that Ariel listened to the Jake-Belal interview where they discussed all the issues Palestinians face and the only response he had for it was "you spelled my name wrong and I did text you in 2016" says alot about his character.

[@Harry-the-Hat]

I don't think it's his job to make this some kind of political dispute. He just needs to address the things said about him.

[@MAKEMUCHMORE]

100%. Ariel is very clearly a Zionist who supports what the Israeli government is doing in Gaza. It's disappointing man as he's a great journalist but this too big a blindspot to ignore

Ariel and Belal won’t get along because you both are too similar, you both are sensitive and have victim mentalities.

[@Scoobert28]

I might use KZbin wrong, but I would love it if the main videos were on the feed and the clips and smaller pieces were on an "AH Show Clips" channel, so I could actually find the full VOD I want to watch instead of sifting through clips. Just an idea, love the uncrowned content!

[@alimk91]

Don’t flame me for not having KZbin premium but I don’t remember having to skip through so many ads on an mmahour replay, is it just me??

[@jeffreystire8632]

It's not just you, I think youtube is doubling down on ads to push people to premium. Twitch did this, and then all of sudden, now I get double the ads, and yes, I do know that as a streamer, they can change the ad time, too. But for partners, it's ridiculous

[@mustybiscuits]

I use Chromecast to watch on my TV. When I watch on my phone the ads are nonstop. Some are 8minutes if you dont skip them. Criminal.

[@KingStu-kr7wz]

Sure there's a difference, but look at what college football actually makes in revenue yet anyone outside of the sport really only knows the NFL - certainly internationally. There's always room for an alternative, es one that can separate itself.
