[@Proloso]

A lot of people been saying he’s bitter and negative, I disagree. Not only was he very professional with how he spoke about the situation, the guy has a lot of experience with the UFC and in the industry

[@jnlambda7952]

Damn, what an interview! Extremely pleasant to listen to. Wouldn't mind a part 2. Couple of points that stuck out: - ariel, you're a heck of an interviewer. the skill of interviewing sometimes goes unnoticed or is taken for granted and ariel is the absolute best especially in the mma community - what a career path for nakisa. going from essentially a career in finance (investment banking) to the fighting industry. smart guy, extremely eloquent, very knowledgeable.

[@rspct9654]

The fact that he was EVP and integral in the sale of the ufc just for Dana to refer to him as “his accountant” when he moved on from the ufc tells you everything you need to know about Dana

[@heyerick107]

Buddy looks like Ariels cooler evil twin

[@mattwombat1]

Never thought of that but now I can’t unsee it 💀

[@Veritasvincit333]

I’m glad there’s someone else who noticed 😂

[@ViktorBuelens]

great business mind and well spoken, I like him

[@jasonk6966]

He is a coke head

You're crazy lol

@@vhp99 go watch the Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson face off and tell me that this mf isn’t a coke head, he got all the signs of it

[@thunder7073]

He just said mike perry is a good build up fight for jake before mike tyson, an elderly man. 😂 wtf

[@mrball4008]

It's the Warlock

[@user-gc5xc8xv2i]

Great interview

[@TheLongPlayUK]

Ariel you’re the best at this. Excellent conversation

[@bmorekairful]

Respect. Great to finally meet & learn about Nakeisa. Fascinating man.

[@Dabzilla007]

Lol he's a clown 🤡

[@emachuca55]

Much respect

[@trollerbater12321]

He looks like a Armenian version of Ariel

[@sinaaktefan7766]

He’s Persian

[@clementine2234]

I remember first seeing Nakisa in the background for the askren fight and thinking wth is that guy

[@gigga0082]

great interview

[@user-gc5xc8xv2i]

Smart guy

[@edotball]

first time ive ever heard this guy speak he seems very smart he used to work for the state of abu dhabi little bit odd

[@RumblePackJack]

nakisa look like ariels uncle

[@dennisshulz3678]

He seems like a really nice guy. I think the only reason people hate on him is cause of his affiliation with Jake Paul.

[@BillyPeraza]

Ariel, this is a great interview! Thanks for shining light on the people behind the scenes... makes you realize how smart some of these players are

[@pedrodavalos3129]

He said Jake was allergic to dust and was drained 🤡

[@LucianoKayoveDoRosarioDoRosari]

Obrigada pelo vídeo incrível! 🇧🇷

[@wowomanta]

Cool, evil ariel is too good 😂😂😂

[@Sonofawildanimal4241]

WHEN IS MCGREGOR VS PAUL HAPPENING?

[@mendo707savmrb8]

I cant believe hes comparing health and age of Mike Tyson to Connor Mcgregor...WTF?!

[@bushiseihleko9686]

Wise Men 🐐💰

Play nothing like the usual on KZbin 😎

[@KasperWalterQ5]

Put timestamps broo

[@sporadikstyles]

Waterloo! 🇨🇦

[@drewdrewson1384]

brony james is daddy ball brought into the place where it was supposed to be all about skill

[@kickdawson]

Anyone who wants to book a 58 year old Tyson against a physically prime 27 year old cannot be taken seriously. You’re preying on a guy who has a fighting spirit but age discriminates against no one. The fact that this fight got postponed should be enough of a reason to cancel the event. If Jake craves the attention as much as it looks like he’ll only gain that respect from fighting others on his level. Not another circus show.

[@bryannadeau3392]

MVP GOAT

[@Rya_N33]

The warlock

[@habitat2742]

Remember that Dana called his man a incompetent shoemaker and snake charmer

[@Adversity_1]

I dont trust this guy one bit

[@DomO22]

45:17 i get his point tbh as much as i hate jake , you gotta give him credit

[@trevorholbrook935]

Get the WARLOCK ON IT. With The Big warlock wart

[@user-tl2ex3jq3z]

Ariel best quiestions!!!

[@geshlam2008]

Dana's ex accountant.

[@bassax7045]

wow 2 Helwanis

[@jasonwalter5873]

This man really just said the reason he lost the tommy fury fight was because jake just found out he was allergic to dust... lmao amd he really thinks Jake will fight Canelo... bros delusional

[@DocMurph]

Don’t forget he’s more successful then brock lesnar😭

[@harisqamar4756]

This guy exposed himself for being the reason the KSI fight is not being made

[@andresg297]

Lol Jake Paul KSI filing wembley? LOL

[@TelvinKipapa]

Jake Paul in MMA ain't happening like Zuffa Boxing.

[@harisqamar4756]

He is quite well spoken, but you can tell if you look closely, he is giving only the politically correct answers. Very smart but sus.

[@adriancuevas4560]

Nikisa has too much ego

[@vhp99]

Literally the opposite

[@PhilMarlowe392]

Spy vs. Spy

[@user-ib3gy6vz7x]

😴

[@Veritasvincit333]

The fact he keeps drawing Conor comparisons is so delusional, this guy is good at what he does money and business wise but anyone real combat sports fan can see thru this guy..snake 🐍

[@jonoharper4729]

Dude blames dust allergy for the Fury loss, claims the rematch is a legacy fight....yeah, that's all I need to know, more snake oil 🐍

[@noodles683]

One of Jake stools handers responsible for the spoilt Hollywood brats vs broke elderly retired fighters 😂

[@s72875]

This guy just seems so fake to me

[@Adversity_1]

dont trust this guy one bit

[@gbop8526]

As uncle Dana would say another going out of business sale

[@Airyed]

What a complete clown. What has his personal relationship got to do with anything? It's about the fighters, not you! Mams literally offered to clear the air and get the fight made surely even Wade can't defend this

[@Vengeance622]

Mams dosen't understand the business of boxing, he is a music manager trying to play pretend something he is not. Attention seeker and extremely unprofessional with no credibility.

[@Airyed]

@@Vengeance622 and this guy does? He's just as clueless and mama has publicly said let's bury everything and get the fight made and this guy is making it difficult cause his ego his hurt pathetic

[@Vengeance622]

@@Airyed He’s just as clueless? Wft are you talking about? He was the former CFO of the UFC. MVP has made one of the biggest boxing events in history such as the Serrano Taylor fight and consequent successful events. He knows ins and outs of the business. Mama or whatever his name is a music producer doing circus boxing events with his buddy KSI making mockery of the sport with WWE tag team bs. Nakisa is right in his stance, they will negotiate the KSI fight with Dazn and Saurland, not with that 5’2 donny.

[@Airyed]

@@Vengeance622 sounding like a complete fan boy Serrano vs Taylor was a co promotion for one he is literally making the fight impossible to make constantly putting up obstacles and MVP are not putting great events on if you take Jake out of it even Serrano since Taylor has fought soft opposition

[@Airyed]

@@Vengeance622 making a mockery of the sport is saying you are going to be a world champion then fighting MMA fighters and a old Mike Tyson
