I loooove Bi! Her life story is in-CRED-ible! So crazy, it seems fake. She's so transparently honest, she's been through decades of trauma. I'm sooooo happy that she's arrived in her Happy Place in life. Her story? Proves that a genuine fighter at heart could be happy in life without the championship belt. This is my first ever time seeing her speak, and she's wonderful! She's very comfortable in front of the camera. She's so genuine, authentic...so real. And hilarious! "I MEANT TO DO THAT!" "Don't play me, Ariel!" She's so cute! New Bi Nguyen fan forever.

[@DM-vs4oo]

Great guest. What a story. Thank you for sharing and wishing her the best

[@cassidygoodwin478]

She's super cool! Gotta have her on more often

[@profightsinfo]

Bi was spicy in her exchanges, loved it. Great interview. I had no idea she went through all of that. Good for her for rising above it. Also, I almost spit out my drink when she said “oh honey I do your nails for you” in an Asian accent 😂

[@kendrickrivas4851]

[@jaseallenson316]

She is stunning & love her personality the most.

[@napkinst5781]

the emotions in bi's eyes when she talks about being asian in the hood. i know it

[@EyesArePlanets]

Excellent interview and attractive personality and charisma on her part. Well done on a fascinating life so far.

[@bigweiner4208]

Tbh i had only seen Bi fight in onefc 2 or 3 times, but this interview was actually very interesting.

[@tiffanyshriver]

I’m cheering for her!

[@parastheviper]

i love this woman.

[@ParzivalHB]

Great interview. Really enjoyed diving into all the tunnels of Bi’s life. Hope to see Bi managing some fighters.

[@SC3designs]

She is BEAUTIFUL!!!!

[@da9nerdy]

Really enjoyed this guest. She is carasmatic and entertaining. Fun interview

[@donlean2164]

Her story is great i just wish she was better at telling it. She has very dry and short responses like if shes ashamed of what she went thru Or that shes annoyed someones asking about her personal life. But im sure her story can be inspiring to many girls that are probably going thru what she went thru

[@joeylawless2017]

💯

[@toni1085]

Can't be the easiest thing to talk about tbh. Especially In front of cameras. I'm sure she's still dealing with the trauma as someone else in the comments said.

[@burlhorse61]

@@toni1085 yh-still seems traumatized

[@JagUriel]

What a story, this was a good one!

[@PWood-gh5cq]

To me she seems; very much like she is being her real self. Not overly (fakely) friendly. Interesting and down to earth person with little in the way of BS.

[@juanmachado1844]

Great story but I can see she still struggles with her traumas. She has come a long way

[@BOZ_11]

"who knows more about MMA than me?" - thousands of people? you're 6-9

[@HeartOfGrief]

I’m in love with Bi

[@IceMastaChristopher]

No one, especially Aerial, gonna mention how she called out Captain Eric for sexually assulting her at a club? Then tone deaf Aerial (Please dont get offeneded, I've been watching you since 2009) comes back after seeing her out hyping up Captain Eric again. He also changed the subject when she brought it up. A simple "wow, thats incredibly shameful if true" would have been sufficient.

[@andrewdeshields6180]

Ariel literally said, "that's not cool" and asked her to share about the incident with Eric and any other stories of harassment. That's not glossing over. Ariel listened and sided with her on live video. Not to mention she moved past it.

Xin chau Bi 🔥🔥

[@steveknick1978]

@26:15 “Why didn’t you just leave?” People are so mystified by this. When a young person grows up around an example of “love” that is a mixture of love & abuse, it warps their definition of love. They then don’t feel in love in a relationship if it doesn’t include abuse…no matter how illogical it is (remember love is about emotion, not logic). That’s why women sometimes don’t leave (& often return to) abusive relationships. It’s a sad side of human nature, where we’re most comfortable experiencing more of what we already know…even when what we know is not ideal.

[@digitalschool1279]

Yeah makes sence now, I always wondered why women always stay in a relationship that sucks..... My friend always told me if you are not abusive she will never respect you or stay with you.... And I was always like WTF man!

[@805Goodland]

You’re supposed to pronounce it like that (like nu’wen)

[@lexorcism]

​@@805GoodlandThe point is he is saying her surname.

[@805Goodland]

@@lexorcism Yeah, her surname is Nguyen which is pronounced like nu’wen. So full name is Bi nu’wen

[@lexorcism]

@805Goodland I know. That wasn't his point though.

[@diyashakir6341]

Bi Nyguyen in another interview said she had 13 or more stitches in her face…I’m paraphrasing but I remember Floyd Mayweather said being in a combat sport isn’t cool if you get busted up a lot no matter how much money you make.

If he ever became a fighter, Ariel needs a tramp stamp that says "Air Helwani" and he only throws flying knees

[@DavidNunezPNW]

When she said her dad fought for the South

[@RandyJM21]

Ariel is a weird dude , Im autistic and I wonder about his social skills sometimes . " I wouldnt pee in the ocean or go whithout a shower for a bit for 5 million " while speaking to somebody who did it . First off what a wimp or more wealthy then I think . He is very good in some ways but other times low key impolite . Shes a big girl and didnt take it badly but still. .
