Explosive Benavidez vs Morrell face-off, O’Shea Jackson Jr, Mackenzie Dern, John Wood | Jan 14, 2025

[@JoseEsparza-o9r]

I can’t wait ! For the David Benavidez fight !!!! 🥊

[@sohd2283]

I predict 11 rd KO BENAVIDEZ

[@Phillip.2023]

How do I buy the fight I need to watch it 🥊

[@erickbolden2584]

Pro wrestling is not a combat sport. Stop pushing that narrative, Ariel, you know it is entertainment.

[@24inchdubz]

Thanks erick with a k

[@Wayne_kerr420]

On UFC 311 fight week he goes all out on the play wrestling stuff . Don’t get it

[@24inchdubz]

@Wayne_kerr420 its Tuesday bro we have all week

[@DynastyIcon]

fighting is entertainment.. in wresting they break bones and tear ligaments just like fighters do.. its just a physical and wears on the body just like fighting does.. i think imma side with Ariel instead of some random in his comments

[@DynastyIcon]

@ well you're in his comments whining about what he talks about on HIS show.. its easier to just not watch instead of whining about it

[@cncshorts1075]

That benavidez morell interview was painful

[@derekjones2835]

Ariel has to take up O'Shea's offer of having him on anytime. That interview is up there with the Eddie Hearn interviews.

[@theBMF]

im just here for Dern

[@deathdecorvid9926]

She didn't even show off the goods 😭

[@Aqua_Holic_Fishing]

He’s like a service dog. Tremendous

[@caseymdavin13]

Can't wait for this fight

[@caseymdavin13]

What a cool dude to score Jo Jo. That girl has always been a dreamboat. Cool fun stories, dude is living the dream man.. all the best the Coach I'm rooting for ya!!!! Thanks Ariel!!!!

[@bananaclipper7692]

2:27:44 franks shrimp cocktail reminded me of Tommy Boy. “got this one after xmas dinner”

[@dchappell3924]

I’m a huge Ariel hater but have always watched because like him or not he gets big interviews with good guests and most of the time it’s pretty good when he’s not gaslighting. During the MMA Hour time I used to find myself skipping maybe 20% of the show because it’s bullshit soccer or wrestling or literally nothing talk but damn man these shows nowadays are literally getting 70% of it skipped they brush over the MMA topics then continue onto more bullshit. The Craic is legit the best show on this network

[@derekjones2835]

Ariel and O'Shea should do a wrestling pod together.

[@ecw787]

Hope Morrell beats the weight bully. Funny how Benavidez has concerns about PEDs yet he is the one with Memo Heredia in his team, the same man who helped Marquez dope. The same man who Jessie Vargas said was a cheater.

[@gddd6061]

Casual. Three opponents of Morell had the same concerns when it comes to the drug testing. Benavidez just said he wanted the drug testing to start right away but Morell was stalling to start the test. That’s the thing so STFUP.

[@ecw787]

​@@gddd6061You casual, I already knew that. It was only two opponents not three, you casual. Get your facts right. The claims they made have not been susbtantiated. Sena claimed PEDS enabled Morrell to enter into flowstate. How can you take a person who makes absurd claims like that seriously. Since you're a casual you probably do believe that 😂😂😂 🤡

[@gddd6061]

@@ecw787 it’s three opponents you casual. The third been revealed already. He didn’t do many interviews like the other two. You didn’t even know that. The third one wanted to associate himself with a boxing KZbin channel and make things viral but they didn’t want to. Like I said I don’t believe Morell is dirty but THREE RAISED CONCERNS. It’s pretty normal for his opponent to take his precautions and want to start the test very early. You are slow 🤡😂

[@ShredCo]

I skipped ahead to the good interview and ended up skipping the whole show...

[@C720L]

Dern is good

[@NoFaceChase]

Why do you come back then? You’re kind of a weirdo

[@ShredCo]

@ So are you

[@CooCooCallum]

If you remember when he started this show on his new brand he said he's going to cover everything this is like 85 to 90% MMA relax

[@josiericaro3347]

It’s hilarious as soon as Patricio mentions starting a PFL union he gets released an hour later. After they held him hostage for last few months while complaining. Another bad look for PFL. The other bellator guys who want to leave should follow suit

[@Wayne_kerr420]

Any UFC 311 relevant guest (or even conversation) would be greatly appreciated, thanks

[@poke-holo-sports]

No 👎

[@AlexM8910]

He’s too busy with wrestlers and boxers these days sadly. This show has changed so much

[@DynastyIcon]

@ its completely his show now so he interviews whoever he wants.. its gonna be a heavy dose of wrestling and boxing along with mma.. ppl either gotta accept it or find something else to watch

[@BackUp-vn7ge]

John wood? Merabs head coach?? That doesn't do anything for ya for ufc 311??

[@erickbolden2584]

@@BackUp-vn7ge yup and he rarely has people who are participating in the PPV the same week

[@footballhd1111]

Haha not promoting UFC 311. I wonder why

[@DynastyIcon]

probably cuz its Tuesday and media day hasnt even happened yet... if he doesnt talk about or promote 311 by Thursday, then its a issue

[@Baboonery_]

yeah it's not like he's got a whole nother show tomorrow or anything - clown.

[@adp8177]

How are the time stamps always wrong. Jesus.

[@EnigmaMaster]

How does this dude keep winning MMA journalists of the year? I just watched Ariel conduct an "interview" with two boxers and do the equivalent of "oooooo, are you gonna let him say that about you " to both guys over and over

[@michaelroy7093]

ur not wrong my guy

[@padaga60]

He’s the chosen one. 😂

[@DynastyIcon]

idk man.. its almost like he's good at this or something..instead of whining, you should start a mma show and try to do better if you dont like how he does things

[@Baboonery_]

the title of the video is literally "Benavidez vs Morrell (virtual) FACE OFF" - the whole point of it is to create drama, tension and interest in the fight. Maybe your piss-poor reading comprehension is why you can't understand why he is the GOAT MMA journalist and likely to go down as the GOAT combat sports journalist, period. lmao

[@at5840]

​@michaelroy7093 he does a great job covering both sports and he likes boxing too

[@ChichiNaka]

wow Mackenzie's english is getting so much better!

[@deez8060]

Man show started off hot with the face off then fell off a CLIFF! Auto skip Last 2 interviews then below average soccer talk about nothing pretty much. Cmon AH!

[@derekjones2835]

1:08:06 Ariel should have corrected O'Shea and told him about the bootlicker's bootlicking ways.

[@goldenking562LBC]

I'm team Benavidez and I got Benavidez winning however I like Morrell and I hope those two can be friends after the fight! 💯

[@TJag-i1g]

9:55 what did he say here? He doesn’t like him because what? His wife?

[@okaketoko]

Could anyone understand the gibberish morrell was yapping on about bro 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@IS-db6pn]

So Drake cant play in LA by Ariel’s logic or anywhere in the US for that matter.

[@deathdecorvid9926]

Respect to benavidez for holding it down

[@stevensmith2561]

Love you guys and love the show! But what is up with the guest list this week? On the week of the first ufc ppv of the year with an absolutely stacked card and 2 title fights?! Ice Cubes son? Shakur? Lol. Mackenzie cool tho

[@24inchdubz]

@@stevensmith2561 bro its Tuesday how long can we talk about the two main events. We been talking about them for a month

[@stevensmith2561]

@ Like I said the card is absoutely stacked.. so many potential guests and we’re getting Ice Cube jr lol. I get it though they cover everything. Just kind of strange to me. John Wood is dope.

[@lucabombardi5597]

that's crazy what you said about cena

[@bradtke1993]

Stick to MMA buddy, skipped like 2/3 of the show

Al least morrel is trying to learn how to speak English 😂

[@artyommanukyan4296]

What an absolute clown show the Benavides v Morrell interview was

[@NorthEastSpiders]

The reason people get arsey about all the fake fighting talk, and what Ariel can't seem to grasp for some reason, is that "Pro Wrestling" is NOT a sport. If the outcomes are pre-determined, it ceases to be a sport by it's very definition. And as such, I have no interest in it. He's ramming a childhood interest of his down all of our throats and it's ridiculous. It's almost as ridiculous as grown men in Spandex pretending to fight each other. We're here for combat sports, not fake fighting.

[@stillgame4886]

this show just not got it prefer 2 shows week tbh

[@RG-hc9ec]

Benavidez bouta beat morrel all 🤣😭🤣

[@alsimmonshellspawn6021]

Benavides looks nervous and struggling to make weight 😆 🤣 😂

MORRELL NEEDS A GIBBERISH TRANSLATOR

[@stelosan]

i hate the new intro, why going back to the awkward one. It was so much more energetic and it flowed much better, made me pumped for the next 4 hours of content. sorry for beeing unthankful. ariel you had a thing. you are giving it away, just like that. i dare you to discuss this with me, live on air. much love from a very fan that listens for more then a decade

[@austinshirey7329]

Ariel might have given the worst take of the rap beef, and that’s saying something
