[@MMArcadePodcast]

So if you want to hear the whole story about what happened with me, Israel Adesanya and the whole dog comment from Dricus at the UFC 305 press conference, jump to 22:23 haha. The world has a funny way of coming full circle 💪🏼

So sad for Erceg. Thank god DDP won.

[@MasterSpencer2483]

me too😢 was gutted for him

[@saljewsteinbergowitz]

Please never talk about the Erceg loss again. I am heart broken. Stoked for my boy, DDP

[@MMArcadePodcast]

I chatted with Steve later that night. He's doing good. Such a stand-up guy. He'll be back 💪🏼

[@MasterSpencer2483]

@@MMArcadePodcast super relieved the hear that. I was crushed for him…

[@Nikkska]

I really thought it was an early stoppage by the ref, Steve still had his hands up protecting himself and had only taken 1-2 punches from memory. Good shot by Kai but alas, it is what it is 😢

Holy crap I didn’t know that was you that asked that question! Like you said, everything happens for a reason. You created such a hilarious moment, you should be proud! Fuck Izzy man. He always hears the most innocuous thing and he takes it like a dagger to the heart.

[@HughMungz]

Man I hope you never lose hope in your dreams. You’re the most articulate, intelligent, and realistic interviewer out there. Crazy to see this all on your first go around 💯💯 much love

[@MMArcadePodcast]

You're too kind brother thank you 😭🙏🏼

[@Clim_Fandango]

-Johnny asks DDP the perfect question for DDP to cook Izzy. -Izzy cries, gets angry and emotional. -DDP finishes Izzy after Izzy gets emotional and points at the floor. DDP should let you at least hold the belt for a pose Johnny you are the man! 😂

[@MMArcadePodcast]

Hahaha

[@handsomedevil7072]

Bro you developed so well into mma. First couple of podcasts I was like "who is this dude rob found, he has no idea". But it took like 3-4 podcasts long and look at you now. You are now a mma journalist, talking mma, by yourself and we are watching your recaps, and they are good bro.

[@MMArcadePodcast]

Thank you so much mate. Still lots to learn and always trying to improve 🫡

[@tamie341]

The bar for mma media is so low that Jonny is already one of the best. This show is gonna be up there with Morning Kombat and Submission Radio

[@samruijgrok607]

Killed the interviews mate. Awesome seeing you shine on the big MMA screen. Congrats!

Glad you pushed thru the fear and came back the next day with a great question. I love your laugh when Dricus made his dog comment 😂

[@Venomroos]

Thanks for stirring up that press conference, made things interesting 😂

[@MMArcadePodcast]

You're welcome lmao

[@tristhekid]

If Sean was going to be lore accurate he’d have called DDP a Frenchman. DDP said the right thing by saying Rob is getting the short straw when it comes to the title. We are rooting for you Rob!

[@moriyokiri3229]

“Lore accurate” What are you talking about?

[@tristhekid]

No I meant lore 😂 DDP family lore is that his family moved from France, not from Holland or something. Dricus lore goes deep

[@justinm5972]

Jonny did yiou steal Bruce Buffers mic lol!! Great coverage mate, great questions at presser and interviews. Defo more of this as Rob gets busier as well! Awesome stuff!

That was actually the best I've ever seen Israel look... But Dricus is just too much. Dricus was also winning on the scorecards as well. That dude is special.

[@Josh-vy4fu]

Was he winning on the scorecards? I had R1 as a toss up R2 for Izzy R3 definitely for Izzy Izzy looked oddly tired in R3/R4. No idea what happened but I guess the takedowns wore him out.

Excellent work Jonny, loved your enthusiasm and you asked good questions.

[@SudaneseChild94]

Johnny literally asked Izzy how he felt being the underdog that set Drikus up for making Izzy cry and loose his cool that that then made him over aggressive in the fight in turn getting him hurt then taken down and submitted 😂❤

[@brooklynweaver1]

Jonny is doing such a great job so impressed!

Walkers vs Tafas tag team match needs to happen lol.

[@MMArcadePodcast]

Lmaooo

[@spanspeksquarepants]

Solid work bro

[@siyandarasi8494]

Genius is Duplesis's coach for his ability to prepare Dricus to that level. Moreover, how he can read the game timeously and communicate while the game is on in a language (Afrikaans) no one understands but them. As a team all of them they are amazing. Look at Dricus as soon as the coach communicates he immediately implements the message from the coach. This is a huge advantage because they do not have to wait for those short breaks to correct mistakes. Also because they are South Africans they have already won the game before it starts due to their why. Their why is evident when you ensure the Springboks rugby team they are there supporting him as they are the greatest team in the world with lots of similarities between them. An example is their ability to evolve and know which game suits each opponent. This is also Springboks' strength with their coach being known as a disruptor and genius.

[@o0sneakiee0o]

Lol izzy called you out for not listening and you set up the dog question 😂 good work johnny boy

[@MMArcadePodcast]

Haha

[@StinkyMick99]

Johnny do u have you own channel that I could follow you on??

[@MMArcadePodcast]

Yup LoneVaultWanderer. It's a gaming channel and I'm on a bit of a hiatus but eventually I'll get back to it

[@Lurks-in-forums]

Jonny deserves a performance of the night bonus for all the chaos he stirred up. Made the pressers so much more interesting hahahaha

[@MMArcadePodcast]

It was a lot of fun 😂

[@jesusiskingofkings4428]

Lol i could recognize your voice at every press event!

[@lukeluna3732]

Johnny you did well, when izzy said that I thought to myself he knows you from the show with Rob. Will see if If my first thought was it or not.

[@britneyystaples91]

Strickland deserves the title shot because he beat Dricus but the judges screwed him. Whittaker however got kod by Dricus and got beat by Izzy while Strickland dominated Izzy and arguably beat Dricus. Dricus just doesnt want to fight Strickland again because Strickland re-arranged his face and checked all of Dricus's leg kicks so bad that Dricus couldnt walk for a week. He wants to fight Whittaker because he demolished Whittaker already. I think Strickland vs Dricus 2 is the fight to make and after Strickland beats Dricus again we can have Strickland vs Whittaker which is long overdue.

[@TheDXJC56]

So all along it was actually Jonny who manifested this 😂

[@oliviae1861]

fastest upload time in the game appreciated your questions during fight week, absolutely gutted for erceg but at least the real african ddp won

[@coey25]

You did get Jonny! Made me laugh when you set Izzy off at the presser but i didnt realise you asked the strictland question haha

[@MMArcadePodcast]

Hahaha

[@jamalram8744]

Even though Tafa didn't tap. I think that ref saved him from himself. He had no idea how to get out of that ankle lock. Even though it was only four seconds left in the round. Even those four seconds could've changed his life forever.

[@robinsocial4838]

If Jiri decides to go the 185, as he said he might, Jiri vs Adesanya would be a great fight to make.

[@laurencedale3854]

Feel bad for Erceg - but the main event is a good result for our boi. Swift uppercut for Hazmat, assuming he makes it to the fight and it's title shot time. Lets goooo

[@Quantum3691]

Izzy was doing really well, but Dricus has tenacity. I knew Dricus would have to submit Izzy in order to win. And that he did. Izzy just chose not to struggle on the canvas after successfully defending takedowns and a submission earlier. I was going for Izzy, but Dricus deserves props for coming back from what appeared to be a disadvantage.

[@BeninoisAxel]

Bro went in on his first time and completely mogged every other reporter 😭 amazing work Jonny

[@MMArcadePodcast]

[@GirthQuake3]

If the podcast can afford it we need to send jonny with rob on fight weeks from now on. He actually asks good questions and has a knack for it. It will get him to more events then just ones in Australia

[@MMArcadePodcast]

Unfortunately the podcast wouldn't be able to afford it - flights, accom and food are pretty expensive. In all honesty I probably lost money on this trip. Worth it for the experience for sure but travelling is expensive

[@HonestMan247]

A scream is a technical submission. No controversy whatsoever.

[@JoeyCruz-gh9og]

It would be a big drop in the rankings, but I want to see Erceg vs Hadley. It'd be a great fight. Could do Erceg/Nicolau as well. I'd go with Hadley
