[@Jay-Trainer]

As a proud Irishman I have tried to like Ian..ultimately I have failed. Theres a very obvious falseness to him that we can't stand in our culture.

[@spaffron4285]

He dug himself such a huge hole I feel like this interview was the first time he was authentic ever

[@bjkane7]

This show is better than ever. Always puts me in a good mood on a Monday. Thanks boys.

[@nickmendoza-thebikeshack8478]

I love Jiri, but it would be awesome for one interview with an interpreter. He has so much to say, but it seems hard for hit to articulate his thoughts and feelings.

[@ryanm839]

Whittaker vs Strickland for sure! And on the card where Adesanya is gonna beat up DDP…… Beautiful! (And being in Aus too is perfect)

[@bigben42]

Everybody is asking where’s Devin, instead of asking how is Devin

[@SickoCisko]

Dude is promoting IG plugs he doing fine

[@Berelo320]

Lets go jiri!!!

[@PeterGibbonns]

Yea, Garry still unlikable along with Topuria.

[@GregK97]

2:01:07 Frank is hilarious 😂

[@joshladd5073]

Strickland deserves it. He arguably won the ddp fight. Whittaker who I love lost badly to ddp and lost twice to Izzy

[@wrasslin4552]

Strickland does not deserve anything. Performance wise, he did poorly against Costa and was not at his best against DDP. Not to mention that he has become a boring, take no risk point fighter.

[@sixtenwelander]

hope jiri wins

[@datguyplaygrounds6749]

What up with Ariel being toxic to Frank in the into? Take a deep breath Ariel. Don’t needle the guy into oblivion lol.

[@MufcGgmu38]

He’s not even the biggest prospect in the sport right now let alone all time 1:39:45

[@Indigo_cloudz]

After the last 2-3 times Ian Garry has been on, I just skipped his part on this episode. So unlikeable now, wtf happened

[@SliceOfLife100]

Ian seems like a decent guy, he just needs to stop being offended by everything

[@deez8060]

Are we not done with PFL and Bellator as a fan base? They have no more interesting fights than what’s shown on UFC early prelims and have absolutely 0 story lines attached to the fights. Legit no reason to watch

[@annetteiles5724]

😂 Devin haney is a punk, no matter what he does he still got his @ss kicked by Ryan, end of story

[@katrinam4232]

Re Shara, maybe he can’t fight in the US because the athletic commissions won’t let a man with one eye fight

[@Rooftopp_Korean]

Nyr is right on king Ryan

[@IgorK-v1v]

Strickland needs a rematch Izzy getting title fights after losses

[@wrasslin4552]

Strickland has not done anything. What memorable performance does he have besides getting knocked out by Alex. Could barely hurt Izzy when Izzy was way off his game.

[@dustinpakatak]

Jiri saying Alex uses performance enhancing spirits. This guy is the best😂

[@andyparker4745]

The only time I ever skip through parts of the legendary MMA hour is when ian gary is talking. He pains me to listen to him

[@Nayfeee]

Was just looking to see if anyone else had said this 😂

[@rastafari415]

Add Pyfer to that list also, literally gives me pain to listen to his voice

[@alloverdaplace2043]

Damn Ian Garry is one annoying dude to listen to

[@ElectricHorseman66]

That's why I skip all his interviews.

[@jaystank3777]

Talks in the third person; calls himself super sharp, super fast, super smart; loves gold diggers. Ian doesn't realize he's Colby with an accent. Let's go MVP!

[@marioeid930]

Really? He seems like a cool enough guy🤔

[@ryanm839]

@@marioeid930I agree, I will never understand the hate Ian gets. Colby is the real POS here

[@dannyburns9850]

Ian talks like he is trying to Conor talk. A big miss. He just looks weird ,he is not true to himself. Sounds like PFL Don s son. Hilarious. I vision therefore I am.

[@pfabbri5908]

God how I hate this Yan Garry guy.. most entitled person I’ve ever seen

[@Sydsourtrout]

GC’s set up looks as good as it does in the studio. Hope everything is okay with GC at home. Take care man

[@kamrankhandevil]

Why is he there?

[@ryanmist]

Devin pulled out of this interview like the Sandor Martin fight?

[@Freebandzz187]

right what happened?

[@Rya_N33]

Someone talked Some sense into him and told him he is acting crazier then Ryan was

[@jonr4164]

One of those rare times Ariel could barely get a word in with Ian yapping; way too much yapping. Sometimes less is more !

[@thethingilike]

Garry sucks

[@Mama597]

ian daying mvp had a nice slow build meanwhile ians career has been absolutly nothing but janitors

[@gabrielestrada5139]

I hope MVP shuts this dudes lights off. So cringey how bad he wants to be Conor. You should have a little tracker in the corner for how many times he’s used Conor’s quotes, “slap the head off ya” “bellator tick”. Dude is corny. Ian “the temu Conor McGregor” garry.

[@jevinsood5039]

Jiri said Alex is using magic or spiritual powers to help with his fights. 😮 they both are great fighters cant wait for this 🎉

[@spaffron4285]

Lack of elbows kills action as soon as the fight hits the ground... top guy can't do damage and bottom can't use an elbow to cause a cut and try to get up. Donn blocked me for telling him this

[@adamw7411]

Here for Irish cucc

[@technodromen]

This is beyond boring. Get on with it. Go look at some hawk tuah meme’s or whatever.

[@robinhoodspiderman]

Whittaker wins against Strickland

[@Kelgee3]

god that Garry is strange

[@jerryreynolds3581]

I'm glad i don't have to look at Devin's face again...his stupid celebration dance was cringey as it gets

[@jimmy_read]

D’Lo Brown joke went clearrrrr over GC’s head

[@jaystank3777]

Ian will never be likeable. He needs to go full heel and stop trying this nice guy image. I think he'd get a lot more respect from fans.

[@nikiguymer5840]

Not a soccer stadium.was purposely made for predominantly boxing! Sheikhz is the man!!

[@Haze2121]

Devin’s in hiding for anyone asking. Dudes a 🤡

[@CptTango22]

Ian Gary always surprises me with how unlikeable he is

[@bryanciacco4181]

Strickland deserves the title fight over Rob strickly (no pun intended) because he arguably beat DDP whereas DDP knocked Rob out. And Paulo Costa is a higher ranked win compared to Robs win this weekend. Also, Rob lost to Izzy multiple times and Sean easily beat Izzy 50-45. So don't get caught up in recency bias and try to agrue with those facts! Sean deserves the title fight over Rob no questions about it and it shouldn't even be a debate.

[@technodromen]

Well the question is also about entertainment. UFC has never been about merit. Sean (except for izzy fight) typically has boring fights. Rob’s (win OR lose) typically isn’t. And he KO’d Aliskerov like a MF. He also put the boots to Costa WAAAY more then Sean did. He also has two wins in a row. Sean only has one. Sean has also talked alot of crap about the ufc and their pay. So i bet he isn’t getting the shot. Rob v Sean seems obvious, wouldn’t you agree? 👍

[@bryanciacco4181]

@@technodromen I don't agree because Robs last finish was in 2017. Also, you didn't even counter debate anything I originally said. But nice try.

[@technodromen]

@@bryanciacco4181 i wasn’t debating. I was just trying to see it from the ufc’s perspective.

[@davidbravo118]

I believe Jiri was referring to when Pereira talks about his ancestors are with him when he fights…idk about the shaman part. Regardless Jiri is the man 💪🏽

[@buckminsterfullerene11]

Ian Machado is the epitome of a clown

[@Catladyburner]

Poatan hangs out with one of the Pataxo(indigenous tribe) Chiefs. They are known to hold sacred ceremonies and use nature as medicine. One being the most powerful psychedelic, ayahausca. Not confirmed that Poatan has ever done it but I know it changes peoples lives. I’m guessing this could be something Jiri is talking about

[@RicardoDiaz21129]

Blessed for the MMA Hour and to all the Mom's out there

[@TAOSCIENCE]

Letting active UFC fighters do power slap is the dumbest idea I've heard in a while. They would often get KO'd and definitely get brain damage -- shortening their UFC career.

[@Combavski]

Islam's my absolute favourite UFC fighter and Khabib was before him so IMO everything on your blatant effin egregiousness list are all coinkidinks😁😉! I thought Shara B had visa issues and that's why the UFC aren't bringing him to the US but that's not it. Apparently they're a bit more strict about not licensing disabled fighters in the US commissions and that's the ONLY reason.

[@ianfatefifer3343]

Sry guys but I couldn’t disagree more about Haney v Garcia 2 being bigger than Tank v Garcia 2…Haney got whooped worse than Garcia did, not to mention the lower weight class and completely drained Garcia. Plus the Haney antics, he’s lost all respect to all fans and nobody cares to see him fight

[@Here4Help-g3g]

He just passive-aggressively hates on fighters who don't care about him and his show. Dude is that kid in school who got bullied and this is his form of revenge. This show is dying, thank God....

[@joshladd5073]

Strickland deserves it. He arguably won the ddp fight. Whittaker who I love lost badly to ddp and lost twice to izzy

[@Indigo_cloudz]

White background is awful. Bring back blur.

[@joshladd5073]

Tank is not the bigger drawnother than with Garcia he averages 200k Ppv buys

[@xProjectMyst]

For the amount of love Ariel gives to boxing, they sure do like telling him their gonna be here only for them to not show up lol

[@frederick8097]

2:36:53 🥶 that's a bad MF'r

[@Billman0780]

Strickland don’t fight anybody wait for the championship.

[@skoal91]

The one eye is definitely why he can't fight in America. No commission will clear him.

[@Rya_N33]

Ryan was going crazy before the fight now Devin is going crazy after the fight

[@joshladd5073]

Wasn’t a surprise I picked volkov. Pavlovic a one trick pony
