[@teddyholiday8038]

It’s confirmed that IDF bombed that hospital. Shame on you

[@greenandgoldfever7989]

Craig Jones: “Eastern Europeans are renowned for their ability to take a joke” 😂😂😂😂

[@FvckN0]

Star Guest Craig Jones. LET'S GO!

[@Frechelon]

More Craig Jones plz!

[@Jabroni103]

Please have Craig jones on more, legendary interview 🙏🏽

[@rubengonzalezjr5055]

Didn’t know who Craig Jones was but now I’m automatically listening when he’s on 😂

[@jamespritchard6058]

When craig said that gabi garcia weighs 350 lbs minimum 😂😂

[@PenguinBB87]

i air punched when eddie was down with perry coming on. lol love this show

[@xXItZzLeWXx]

That Eddie and Mike face to face was excellent! It made me much more interested in the fight than I would’ve been otherwise.

[@luklopskywalk]

Skip the first segment. It's just ridiculously bad.

[@MufcGgmu38]

Unreal he’s the biggest hypocrite ever needs to open his eyes the Zionist

[@andreray2784]

Ariel is the police. He is asking Derek about betting MMA.

[@jackjack3024]

Craig Jones is the best.

[@lurchielangford8761]

Craig is always a great interview 👏

[@watermage25]

WTF was Ariel talking about at 5:30 during his intro? Don't have Instagram couldn't see.

[@lostandlooking]

I am homeless, living in my car in Ohio. I look forward to the UFC events every Saturday while I shake in my car. If you have a home, a family member that will let you stay, a warm shower, etc. please understand what you have. Thank you.

[@joelbsiphone8546]

Good hope you freeze

[@jessemccann9711]

All the best bro

[@aronrosas4191]

I've been homeless, a vehicle is considered shelter. Get a job and start saving money, you'll need about a months worth of rent saved to get a place today

[@Indigenous-English-Man]

All the best to you 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@bingusman69]

Not even gonna listen to the Bumson interview but GC is right about singles vs parlays. Derek should stick to what he knows, which is getting finished by strikes.

[@bingusman69]

Damn Ric picked Khamzat which means Usman W on Saturday. Crazy!

[@jairsanchez9731]

He was wearing the shirt! “Yeah I brought it!” 😂😂😂😂

[@HenryR92]

Ariel needs Knee pads when talking about Francis

[@MufcGgmu38]

The propaganda is coming from your people Ariel open your eyes!

[@Indigenous-English-Man]

There’s audio recording of two hamas terrorists talking about the missile misfiring from behind the hospital in the graveyard that’s there. They even say it’s definitely there’s because of the shrapnel left behind. They literally set up firing positions behind hospitals full well knowing that Isreal will retaliate.

[@JohnDoe-dg5oo]

Craig needs to be on every week. Infact, every week should just be Craig and Ariel. Let's just rename the show that right now.

[@grusand]

Ariel and his propaganda team deleting comments. And don't tell me it's because they are off topic when you're the one bringing this topic up over and over again. Look how happy Ariel was today after 500 Palestinians were murdered. And the sad part, according to Ariel, was the "poor" journalism, not the lost lives. He didn't mention them at all. No prayers for them. No tears shed. Mate, you have an agenda. Be honest about it. Be a man.

[@stevemanion4632]

Weird, you took so long to write that out and the only like it got was from you... Good on Ariel calling journalists out for smearing Isreal after Islamic terrorists killed 500 of the people that elected them.

[@supakhan23]

100%

[@Fillegubben]

Good luck confirming the 500. That being said him and his team are soft regarding all controversial things he himself bring up

[@Gherbo0303]

so nothing about the gaza attacks huh?

[@mattschneider9815]

Knew it would be Eddie , when you gave the clue , “think underground”. GC keep up with it !! Jk , love the show .

[@AlexRodriguez-fg8xm]

onl

[@tech1238]

Great show

[@DanaBlanco.]

Another week with no interview with Sean Strickland... kudos on Feldman and Kelleher tho.

[@Human-ll5yv]

AirEell don’t want the smoke! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@let_ben_beat7725]

2:28:57 Derrick Lewis song drop top by fat pat

[@HIPHOPHINCH]

2:29:28 - "Then Ian Gary pops out" 😂

[@chrisp.3461]

Frank’s subtle trolling of Ariel is unparalleled. Frank, you will forever be an MMA hour legend.

[@JJj-xratedgt]

Your MY GUY YOUR MY DUDE! I LUV IT!

[@HIPHOPHINCH]

The Mystery fight card is actually an exciting idea.. Even if you find out at the ceremonial weigh ins. Oof!!

[@richardhilli807]

*…truly enjoyed *eddie v’s *mike interview 💜

[@lebraa]

Best wishes to brunson. That blonde bronsun was quite a run He brings it everytime

[@johndoekobe5619]

I love this guy

[@Slashkarlyy123]

Platinum is such a non genius genius

[@ClinyTifton]

Dez "Khabib" Brunson is back for another Run at it. Yeah Mate, Repping the Paelaidian Star Cluster. Top Bloke.

[@antdenzic7977]

The Nose, Knows!!!

[@Jtheballfan]

5:40 Ariel knew exactly what he was doing

[@mmatrainee]

My new favorite hair do

[@johnbobb1835]

Ariel the worm Helwani

[@JJj-xratedgt]

Rockhold was worried his modeling career WAS FRACTURED WITH HIS TEETH ...EDDY AINT THAT !

[@joshwoogs]

Mike Perry definitely won the Luque fight by the way

[@diluted8]

Holly Holm was my good luck charm

[@jfilomia]

everyone knocks out cody! Lmao

[@Slightly_JD]

Alvarez looks like popeye from the picture

[@smelnyk91]

brunson is thhe big homie tell me different

[@JJj-xratedgt]

AB$OLUTE BANGER! *UNDERGROUND 👑 V$ *MEAN MIKE PLATINUM

[@JJj-xratedgt]

GR8 impromptu! 100%✓✓ A "PHILLY PHAVORITE"!

[@PhonyTerguson.]

Ariel calling out journalism now after the last 5 years is absolutely ironic, hypocritical and hilarious

[@PiceaSitchensis]

No, he is a professional, he is paid, hence he is not an amateur.@@AlexL-on8yl

[@trinidaddy]

"Anyone that I don't like having an issue with their field is ironic, hypocritical, and whatever other words I learned on the internet without knowing the real meaning of."

[@auginater4200]

Why are these shows 3.5 hours instead of 4.5 😭😭😭

[@quintonlarson5346]

Yes that is pretty much what Sambo is. And no, you cant put it together half as good as they do to save your life homie

[@noljuan6963]

Its VOLK not VOKE we need to talk about this again

[@L-J-Pinnockle]

Nobody calls it Chester

[@FvckN0]

Amazig Interview Skills Ariel

[@Human-ll5yv]

Speaking of drink the cool-aide what happened to your Ukraine sticker on your laptop 😂🤣😭💀

[@gflah]

Ariel said in the past that he is not a fan of bare knuckle fighting as it is too raw & savage for him. Now he wants to promote and present a belt when invited 😂

[@louisj2533]

Ariel such a nerd

[@Streamingfriendlyunitshifter]

Nerds rule the world 🤷🏻

[@supakhan23]

Zionist*

[@SliKimbo]

If you think sambo is fake then you also think that Khabib doesn't exist

[@Indigenous-English-Man]

Who kabab?

[@nickk7425]

I listen to David Feldman talk and I would NEVER guess that he is Jewish. The guy sounds like a normal white guy from the Midwest or something..

[@spaffron4285]

Brunson school of horrible gambling advice

[@quintonlarson5346]

Ah man Craigy is sooo jelous about that Sambo hahaha mystique? Later rounds confidence? Bro - p4p#1. 25-1. Suck it!

[@jfilomia]

Cody no chin ...lol!!

[@thedon4748]

Profit > momeyb

[@daveh9080]

Ariel found his new Dana white, Logan Paul. I know Ariel has a big nose but idk how he breathes with the Paul brothers nuts in his mouth. Watch out Logan, once you piss off ariel he’ll create a new podcast in spite of you. He’s like the Taylor swift of the MMA world

[@windowlizard]

Voke

[@rakanghoth]

free Palestine

[@Human-ll5yv]

🇺🇸🇺🇸Just say no to propaganda 🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@kfirmuller-ie1ry]

Am Israel Chai 🇮🇱

[@nathanleblanc6992]

Wish they would tighten up the “banter” 20 mins of “imagine if…” Jus move on and talk MMA topics… nobody is funny stop trying to be, Morning Combat is more of a professional show. These guys jus don’t stop🤦🏻‍♂️20 mins of “What if…” 🤢🙄

[@andrewdavidd]

The crew has good repore which leads to funny moments watch something else donk

[@nathanleblanc6992]

@@andrewdavidd quite down Sally, it’s the 15 min of carry on that needs tightening up. Now back to your moms basement

[@Backdraft47]

I think the biggest mma show around knows what their audience likes

[@nanogenetics5110]

Please stop whining about X/twitter ffs you didnt buy it.

[@DeezNutz617]

Great show! Ariel does a great job interviewing by asking actual interesting questions. And when he sticks to mma the show is awesome, Mike perry is a riot

[@user-ze6ou8se3m]
