[@RossiBoku]

When's the ending?

[@Mammals511]

Polo 😢oi

[@camko11]

Home from work because of surgery, going to watch along for the first time ever! I've only been am audio listener for 2 years 😊

[@vinnierkc]

Get well soon man 🫡

[@camko11]

@vinnierkc thanks mate, only down and out for a fortnight then back to truckin 🚛

[@melting_dave]

You will never go back haha! Speedy recovery man 👊🏻

[@RossiBoku]

Ariel is the bald one with a big nose and bad breath. Get well soon brother 👃 👍

[@chiraqdrilla6875]

arial glazzing tom was killing me

[@Surre4LSoto]

Bro seriously lmao he loves Tom so much that he becomes a Jones hater it’s crazy

[@bubbaye8221]

Does he glaze Tom or Francis more? Would like to hear his opinion on who would win if they fought.

[@Weregonnalose]

Why are you guys taking credit for my "Who me" line 😂?

[@rooster5572]

I'm sure his fight was a real battle

[@Weregonnalose]

Haha ​@@rooster5572

[@georgefraser1137]

Rick is so wrong, people are definitely tuning out for apex but tuning in for fight nights in an arena.

[@StandTherenBleed]

Craig Jones is hilarious! 😂

[@lakesification]

I skipped the last two cards, I aint done that in years. That ESPN Plus commercial is %50 the reason why.

[@d50mx6]

I also skipped the last 2 cards. I have better things to do and don’t care for the Apex cards. Last Apex card I buzzed through was when Jim Miller fought.

[@im-gi1nl]

How quickly we forget Khamzat missed weight by 8 lbs last time he had a welterweight fight. Not to mention it is promotional malpractice not to have belal in the next Welterweight championship fight turn up. Like it or not, he has earned it

[@joecoreano]

Gotta love mma hour

[@albaviris]

i mean you dont have to

[@GlasshouseaquaticsGHA]

For probably 7-8 years I haven’t missed a single card let alone fight. I’ll admit, it’s a long streak that I have gone out of May to keep because every single card is something I look Forward to each week. Just wanna see fights

[@georgefraser1137]

Does Ariel actually think wwe is a combat sport? Closer to a theatre production than a sport

[@bobbydueces71]

I turn him off whenever he goes there, can’t listen 😒

[@lawranceprasad2059]

LETS GOOOOO YAIR!!!

[@conord7643]

Coach G started the “who me?” bit. He retired from professional karate and now goes by weregonnalose on KZbin

[@dixieechann]

Yair and Ilia would be a great fight

[@iluvmyboba]

You ain't lying. I think Ilia matches up well with Yair. They both have very explosive styles. I'd like to see them kick it around in the octagon.

[@CombatSports01]

3:16:00 Yair 1:02:12 Craig

[@PubsGrubs]

Yair would kick Topurias head to the next block

[@itscje5784]

Love to this guy - bring him back

[@arnaldorivera7031]

Craig Jones is hilarious

[@curtgregersen5867]

Why u not talk about The Joker, Ariel? Why u not talk about legalise mma in Norway 🇳🇴? Im a bit dissapointed man

[@ChainZxNuke]

Aspinall 🐐

[@euandenniston3243]

I feel like the reason for the Apex being flogged at the moment, is because Dana is padding out 298,299 and 300 with all the good matchups, which doesnt leave a lot of top tier fights to headline these Fight Nights. Dana is likely to be hesitant to put these weaker Fight Nights into an arena as he will be worried that they wont sell. (got to keep up those gate records!) He will consider an Apex event to be preferable to a half empty arena. Hopefully things will even out once we get past these big PPVs in the early year... (Hopefully!).

[@amhmnsh]

They can use smaller venues, Merab vs. Petr Yan fight was cool, the UFC brand is more than enough to sellout that kind of venues

[@euandenniston3243]

@@amhmnsh I agree that Merab vas Petr is a top teir fight, but look at the headliners recently. Hermansson vs Pyfer (No. 11 vs Unranked), Dolidze Vs Imavov, Upcoming is Rozenstruik vs Gaziev, Tuivasa vs Tybura etc. etc. These fights just arent at the level you build an arena card around and expect a sell out. I think the UFC recognises this and are protecting their brand, so people arent pointing out that the UFC isnt selling out cards all of a sudden. I think they have "blown" 3 months of Fight Night headliners, by stacking the upcoming PPVs.

[@bananaclipper7692]

2:07:12 crowd work videos are popular on comedy tiktok and IG cause they’re perfect snippets and also they don’t want to post their material

[@Trickiestree]

Love the fact that Ariel's one of us, a Super Red, and he spoke about his love of Nottingham Forest and how it come about to his son. You ought to pay the world famous City Ground a visit if you ever over here, Magic bruh.

[@AAK-.]

The lineup was so stacked Craig Jones didnt even get his name in the title lmao

[@noelperies8406]

Craig Jones was hilarious, want to watch more of his content now

[@zuddha2268]

Mackenzie Dern is just lovely. Nice to see her in such good spirits. LFG!

[@mitchellportnoy9524]

Where does he talk about ufc 300?

[@MufcGgmu38]

30 mins in

[@disismeman]

Ariel, did you forget that Yair got head butted badly - causing a ref stoppage - like 1 min before Volk KO’d him?

[@maximilianborden313]

Why does area keep talking about WrestleMania and www e like? It's like this huge f****** combat sports event like dude, nobody cares about WrestleMania anymore.

[@121pompey3]

I love the Football chat!

[@buckminsterfullerene11]

Boxing, professional rastling and dart throwing are not MMA. Change the name of the show and stop misleading people.

[@technodromen]

Man, i do not like Dern taking this fight. Short notice against an opponent whom have been preparing for Suarez which means her wrestling and grappling will be on point. And Lemos has real KO power behind her hands. And the way Derns striking looked against Andrade.... sheeeesh.

[@MufcGgmu38]

Wasn’t ready for Waitrose on mma hour. 😂

[@themmapanda]

What about main event for the sphere? Dana is obsessed with it

[@archiekeen376]

Guys trying to defend the southern border and he can’t even defend his own driveway. Craig Jones is a killer on the mats and with the mic

[@Eamador3]

Tommy Aspinal looks like Mr Incredible from the Incredibles hahaha 😂 HW King!

[@tellerxx4868]

Props for ignoring the most viral event this weekend , Strickland doing gods work

[@adrianohare]

Feelings get hurt just thinking about Sean.

[@Trickiestree]

Keep the faith Triple A, a tough test for anyone in your weighclass still bruh.

[@1014192324]

Tom saying it as it is once again. Hope Jon steps up after stipe 🤞

[@systemdnb214]

Did anyone ever tell Ariel that Khamzat was here in Vegas after Jacksonville? I didnt watch the whole thing. I can’t believe he missed that. He’s usually better with his memory of PPVs.

[@Ian-km7ks]

I would like to see Tom v Francis in mma since nobody else wants to fight Tom

[@IS-db6pn]

“Wait Rose”

[@contourplasteringtilingplu107]

4am: U up?

[@arrichieestebansoul]

This is the aspinal we needed to see… I think I’m number 1… me

[@Nik-bk2fb]

Is the UFC the last sports organization that still has covid restrictions?

[@Ufcderlict]

Tired of everyone complaining about apex shows I would rather get to watch ufc almost every week of the year then alot less than that and I strongly believe that within the next 5 to 10 years there will be very little apex shows cuz they will have enough "stars" they can go to arenas 2 to 3 times a month but right now they can't and I'd rather watch more of it then less

[@rayhanatalferdaws7363]

The best fight is Hamzat Chimaev vs. Leon Edwards for the title

[@psychgaming.4397]

Same thing should be said in return both them are old stipe is 40+ jon almost 40. Could tom feel good about himself beating 2 past there prime old man. I couldn't

[@billgalyean9140]

I get it but if they’re in the way of him getting the belt then so be it, it’ll be his job to take them out no matter their age. It may take a KO from Aspinall for them to realize that.

[@TheIvanMilky]

For a second I thought Ariel was going to tangent into Ray Lewis murder charges out of nowhere 😂😂

[@Timujen]

Dude Ilia vs Yair would make me crum

[@Robert-w9e7g]

Mackenzie got schooled in her last fight. She has to improve her striking and learn how to tuck her chin if she is going to be a champion in mma. She reminds me of ronda rousey but hopefully she will be able to get better at these fight skills.

[@williamlehecka2351]

Best you tube in the game next fullsend

[@jamespeacock5175]

Put Craig Jones in video title. The disrespect.....

[@SGT..ROCKtm]

Tell me you've seen Ronnie Chieng International Student..

[@noelperies8406]

Yair vs Topuria is the next fight if Illia loses and Yair wins

[@TenggisKhan]

I don't understand how gordon Ryan and craig jones can be at such odds when they were both in the highly successful danaher death squad. maybe that's why they split up I don't know the details

[@im-gi1nl]

Should have asked Mackenzie Dern about not working with Jason Perillo anymore. Curious as to what happened

[@TheJewinator]

You guys are hurting my pockets lol

[@bryanciacco4181]

Tom Aspinall absolutely sucks! Fight Curtis Blades who beat you! How about that! LMFAO talking about Jones who has more title defenses than all Tom's wins combined! Ohhh I get it it's because Ariel helwani hates Jon Jones and Jones just like DDP won't go on the MMA hour. Booo whoooo I live in the reality of facts!

[@noremorse4379]

Did you even watch the interview he literally said he wants that fight

[@90876589]

Ffs hearing this dummy say "Voke" is so annoying. Ariel trying to be like Chael.

[@GlasshouseaquaticsGHA]

Dana doenst care if ilia or volk win, it’s a win win for them

[@Truesk8er1]

Tom gotta just keep his mouth shut haha

[@sroy5993]

What’s up Ariel? No eating horse. You’re from Quebec and that’s the only place I’ve ever eaten horse.

[@RossiBoku]

[@frankgofundme]

Did aspinal fart 3 or 4 times during the interview?

[@pormaTV99]

This guy always attacks the ufc yet still covers it . I’m amused how ufc fighters still like getting interviewed by you

[@lachlan1441]

Ever think UFC fighters might have grievances with the company too?

[@technodromen]

this is the actual dumb comment. ariel is covering the sport. without him doing he job we would basically have 0 people how are even close to being critical of the UFC's business practises. you don't the fighters feel all kinds of thing regarding the UFC but can't say anything since they are expendable and the UFC is a monopoly and rules with an iron fist. i'm amused you don't understand a single thing of this. you don't have to watch ariel or like him. but you damn well have to respect him and his contribution to the sport we love.

[@Indigenous-English-Man]

Yanks don’t get British football rivalries. On derby days we fight our relatives if they support the rival team.

[@gavinhale1133]

I don't like Ariel the way he's talking about Jon jones like he hasn't fought the best of the best for the longest time. he fought every killer at light heavyweight and now he takes a break and gets injured and Ariel just constantly saying who cares about Jon jones

[@honda116969]

It was cool to watch the karate hottie retire I remember many years ago people were talking about her before she ever came into MMA... DAMN I'm getting Old AF lol

[@gerardmccarthy8468]

Anyone else think Ariel is a worm at this point ?

[@bobbydueces71]

Stop with the fake wrestling banter. Soap opera fan 😂

[@sportinguista09]

Was that a fart at 2:17:14

[@noelperies8406]

Couldn't care less for ufc apex events

[@clintperlman1492]

Stipe is such a coward. He's ready to fight but knows Tom will f him up he spoil his fight with Jon....in which Jon will f him up anyway. Ur retiring with an L no matter what Stipe

[@benwellek5349]

Cut the soccer talk.

[@albondeb]

This woman gave her child a broken home because of her ego

[@doziermuzic]

UFC pushed Dern too fast. She should be going through her growing pains in Invicta. The goal should've been to win a title there first while working on her blaring weaknesses.

[@dujon06]

Was Aspinall farting in the interview?🤔🤔😭

[@puntsize]

GC lying about the odds he played yet again. Surprise surprise.

[@seaboi30]

What did he lie about?

[@GrimzReapr]

Nobody wants to see khamzat rn he doesnt even deserve a title shot and cant even make weight

[@samsneed5099]

Of all videos ive ever seen on youtube or tv in last 40 years. This is the worst intro of annoying sounds ive ever heard in my life.
