[@Guitarial_arts]

@@jt1884you are emotionally deranged by the media. Ariel is a weasel. All he does is use the fighters to push his narratives. There is no journalist in any sport who spends all of his time and energy asking all the athletes about how much money they get. Real journalists cover the actual sport. Get fighters on and ask them about the fights, their training, their goals, not their fucking contracts. These fighters are humans and they don’t want everyone knowing their business. Until Ariel tells us how much he pays all his employees, he needs to STFU. He is a weasel and it has nothing to do with Dana white, how you think that tells how brainwashed you are. Ariel is the cnn of mma. Dana white is his Donald trump. Just like cnn. Ariel has lost a massive chunk of his viewers. He was the biggest name in mma journalism, now he’s not in the top 5. No one watches his show anymore. Look at his views compared to the schmo, Nina drama, Helen yee, Luke Thomas, and others. Chael has a bigger audience than Ariel, and so do all the other retired fighters now in the media. Ariel is done and he’s just desperate AF. He will be completely irrelevant in a couple more years.

Bisping fumbled the bag about James Krause. That would have been interesting to hear Buckleys side of the story and could be a possible fight down the line; after their UFC career that is since James Krause is totally banned from the UFC, I think. James Krause is no chump, he was on a winning streak before he retired and got caught with the gambling stuff. Krause vs Buckley would be a great matchup maybe in a different promotion or something!!!!
