[@ironicaus]

Did anyone else think Bobby wanted to fight Frank for a second there when he was talking about Ariel's host 😂

[@jackpayne4406]

I think Rick was sitting there like 'who me?' 🤣

[@MufcGgmu38]

Who me

[@ironicaus]

@@jackpayne4406 😂

[@Monkey_11]

100% I was kinda okay with it hahahaha

[@ImJustStardust]

Thank you for not censoring Bobby Green.

[@joseramirez5611]

😂..Arial wearing the same shirt as in the in studio break interview 😅

[@TheHarrip]

Bobby Green- We attack at dawn! I'm going to this fight l. Love that mentality

[@dking6950]

That line was amazing. I understand why Frank always goes King Green.

[@jonty50]

Really enjoy listening to NY Ric. Don’t always agree with him but he’s so good at articulating his thoughts and opinions. Thought his Bud P4P argument was very convincing. He’s such an asset to the show and the general commentary around combat sports.

[@jnlambda7952]

the trio of GC, Ric and Ariel is fantastic. I agree with your take, you don't always agree with Ric but his arguments and thoughts are very well-articulated and worthy of consideration. honestly, the show would not be the same without him imo.

[@YaBoyMacD]

He''s such a talent. I often disagree with him but i appreciate his point of view explained so clearly

[@gregspamail5145]

Bot lol

[@spaffron4285]

Ric the only one that will tell Ariel he is wrong... still waiting for GC to disagree with Ariel for the first time

[@addictedtosuccess156]

Bobby green the man

[@spudgreg]

I need Bobby green on this show every week. What a personality

[@spaffron4285]

The mtfk King

[@travisshockey4442]

NY Rick and myself the only two people that haven't forgot just how impressive Crawfords win over Spence actually was

[@spudgreg]

They forget how high everyone was on Spence before and how much better his list of wins is than Tyson fury

[@lexrapstine3864]

Ariel and Bobby Green is hilarious

[@djjim9346]

Ariel and Eddie always bounce off each other so well 🙌🏼

[@AAK-.]

Bobbys a fun guy lmao

[@tenacminotauro9541]

To me high level MMA is peak combat sports. It's been a great year for boxing, but none of those fights come close to Gaethje vs Max.

[@BJ-ih8un]

Dmitry & Eddie were class, really enjoyed those interviews.

[@JonathanRodriguez-pe8go]

Bobby is a GEM 💎

[@spaffron4285]

Was Leon "on route" to victory in his first 7.5 rounds vs Usman? Saying Belal was going to lose and the fight shouldn't happen is stupid

[@lourencorp-ly6tn]

this an organization not a fedaration. and its president and champion dont want it, but its hard to fire someone who didnt loose so if youre a fan and if i was you, i would consider myself grateful

[@user-yh4bq2yg9f]

Bobby green and Renato moicano are officially must watch interviews everytime!

[@andrewgosh6987]

Remember Rick saying the Pacers were trash over and over again?? Ariel I understand but Rick needs to eat that humble pie

[@420MrReefer]

Here for leon

[@Richieest02]

And still

[@zovi6462]

same

[@GregK97]

I enjoyed Ariel and NY Ric talk one on one just like the old times. They should do that more often, where it's just them talking.

[@noelperies8406]

Leon Edwards is going to be an absolute legend of this sport. Can't see anyone beating him over the next few years

[@MufcGgmu38]

3:38:24 Eddie Hearn is spot on coming together is the best thing that’s happened to boxing in the last ten years and it’s a pleasure to watch

[@joseramirez5611]

😂 Arial wearing the same shirt as the one from the in studio break interview..😂

[@noelperies8406]

I think if he wore a t shirt his show would tank

[@donniehendrix2654]

I can't say I have listened to Ariel in the pre days to what you have now but I have been a listener to this version from day one and I love the talks between everyone at the studio and it took a second but I'm really loving my rick

[@Toddpicogram-aka-Satan]

Master Splinter needs to teach 4 turtles 🐢 to be champions in MMA

[@gabiliberow459]

Well done dimitry

[@ChrisMakesBeats]

Super Simon

[@lestrictgeek1835]

Cédric Doumbé is a very good fighter.

[@FaxxsSpeaker]

Ariel about to go super Scion

[@lourencorp-ly6tn]

at wht age were you you watching dbz?

[@GregK97]

2:48:48 don't get it twisted, Bobby. Dillon actually bitched Ariel lol, Dillon really 10-7'd him on his own show 😂

[@troykgoderstad5415]

Where is GC

[@herbmano]

I get the opportunity to help out Bobby Green when he gets Lebanese food and he is 💯. As real and humble as they come

[@HawkFightTalk]

Leon vs Connor 170?! 😵

[@michaelbrianlowe1]

Boots was the signing of the year. Glad he’s with Matchroom. Get some proper care

[@Charlie.93]

Why has a 3rd of the audience disliked this?

[@bigben42]

Brendan Schaub has an army of bots to do his bidding, fear him

[@aaronscreen2840]

It's Ariel I'm not shocked

[@kingshighway123]

THE IERN TORTILE

[@angelramos656]

I cringe when I hear "La Problema" 🤮

[@jamespeacock5175]

"we attack at dawn" Booby Green.

[@jimmywatsup]

Talk about how media are being blocked out at these Saudi events

[@markdavis8430]

Let’s go Leon

[@christopherhenning-murphy1827]

Hope everything is okay with Conner and we see him on Wednesday

[@foodrecipes2243]

As an Indianapolis native....we live basketball here......hoosiers can shoot...new Yorkers cant....we live rent free inside your head ariel

[@MufcGgmu38]

3:52:20 stop wearing the contact lenses

[@herhseyd2867]

2:50:00 is a 10-8

[@user-ge7ji1iz9z]

Hmmm…. His background seems a little fake….is he using a zoom background

[@alancorrigan312]

Theres no chance conor coming off 3 year hiatus shows up and beats chandler whos been training like a dog for best part of 15 months for the biggest fight of his career.Whats crazy is the bookies have it a 50/50 fight,if mcgregor wins its the greatest comeback ever.

[@lourencorp-ly6tn]

bobby renato is cool but if bobby beats paddy isnt he ducking an absolute L with the upper ranked?

[@Alemannn_]

He didn’t ask Leon about wearing the new gloves 🤦‍♂️

[@ryanwalsh1909]

#AndStill

[@JulezX.X]

I've been a UFC fan since 2007 and I prefer boxing right now. It feels reinvigorated.

[@jmasushige]

😂😂😂

[@JulezX.X]

@@jmasushige You don't know the vibes.

[@manonamissionpart2]

I love Ariel

[@szczurDB]

I prefer DAZ

[@Santoriyou]

ARIEL PLEASE HAVE AGIT KABAYEL ON YOUR SHOW

[@maxmason1249]

ibr after listening to him post fights he don’t seem the type to enjoy this kinda thing

[@markvandenboogaard8523]

High level mma will always be more enjoyable to me vs high level boxing.. also there are way more great mma fighters vs high level boxers

[@peteperic5822]

Cause u casual

[@90876589]

Ric so desperate to be right, he's never heard of a Honda scion lol tries linking it to dbz instead like total idiot smh

[@RagingAL427]

Super scion 😂

[@jerryreynolds3581]

That "rapper" at the Fury/Usyk fight was absolutely terrible

[@SliceOfLife100]

Can't wait for Leon to smoke Belal so he can finally shut up about it

[@injection6930]

I can't understand a word mumbles says, but I rewatched the fight and Colby for sure won.

[@cystevie7185]

Your life must be miserable. Lying to yourself isn’t healthy

[@georgeandoscia6482]

Just came here to add one more voice to the chorus of people complaining that The *MMA* Hour is covering less and less MMA lately and more pro wrestling and boxing. Could be that you’re getting more listeners now by covering more topics - we can’t know that one way or the other. But I feel like the name of the show should be changed. Maybe “The WWE, Eddie Hearn, and Maybe some MMA Hour”? Just a thought.

[@thebloc3195]

How about "the if you don't like it watch something else hour"

[@luklopskywalk]

Not a great show Why does Ariel complain so much
