[@cuprofessa]

That accent

[@lmmmmlll4671]

truer words have never been written

[@NickolaiFury]

Amen! SOOOO adorable, that accent! Listening to her makes me want to move to Scotland. :)

[@OrcoDevelopment]

The only MMA fighter with a future in ASMR videos.

[@burlhorse61]

ASMR?? you lost me

[@Lundywildez]

+burlhorse89 type asmr on youtube

[@destroyinghumansismyprimar8978]

What about Mayhem Miller?

[@Refulgent_Rascal]

hahaha!

[@shabbynchic1]

Immediately thought this when I heard her voice! Imagine her doing a spa role play.

[@LucifersKall]

This chick is so quiet and cute, then you see what she did to Letourneau, good googly moogly.

[@ryanterry1777]

ATA BOY JOE ROGAN

[@alexdawson5454]

+Ryan terry *joey Diaz

[@danielortman2534]

and Latourneau is a freakin' tank. Look what Moroz put her through, but she just kept on coming.

[@LucifersKall]

Real talk Maggie and the Ferocious Beast started Googly Moogly.

[@Chris_Brah]

It's a trap

[@arkaitzplaza1540]

Dont know about her as a fighter, but shes got the sweetest voice ever.

[@Cranklin1234]

She's a monster

[@cuprofessa]

She's a cute beast. Look at her last fight, she destroyed Letourneau, who went five rounds with Joanna.

[@cuprofessa]

+jokrj It's a book Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde check it out

[@hyroproto4364]

jokrj blame autocorrect

[@ScottsCollection]

I love her voice. I just want to give her a big hug.

[@greatstate58]

Her voice does things to me 😩

[@CrucialConflict.]

8=D lol

[@rockisrealmusic5338]

[@CrucialConflict.]

[@zmanafacation]

dont fall for the cuteness. its a trap.

[@zmanafacation]

+venger ask Valerie lol

[@charliechan6892]

yea they do venger, that's the whole point of a trap, it's a surprise.

[@AlwaysBonpoint]

Hardcandy?

[@danfors1333]

Thank's for the heads up, General Akbar!

[@duaneclarke9891]

She's an assassin

[@RandyLayman]

The UFC is Foolish to not push JoJo more then they have, she is extremely marketable world wide, she is a legit badass, and of course very beautiful. It makes everyone want to see her do well, it wouldn't take much to make her a huge star. Just a little push....

[@randomcommenter5340]

I'll give you a little push, right out in front of a truck

[@love2liftscotland222]

+Cherry Pauper what ? Name someone undefeated in the UFC apart from Jon Jones ? Nate Diaz huge star but is a 500 fighter at best, cowboy plenty loses, the current 155 champ has loses, the current 170 champ has loses, the current 185 champ has loses, the list goes on so shut up if you don't know what your talking about

[@EVO6-]

+Love2Lift Scotland CM punk

[@marxus252_8]

"push" lol this ain't WWE, but yeah she deserves more fights.

[@thepostfire]

She's so CUTEEEE!! :D

[@whatthe5954]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who is overwhelmed by it, hahaha

[@zmanafacation]

+jo7dan119 Irish and scots are practically the same race, They're both Gaelic people.

[@TheRationalist.]

It's mostly her voice. She has one of the cutest voices I've ever heard.

[@Auriflamme]

His ancestors are Scottish, not sure how far back though, they may have been planters. So yeah you're right, McGregor is a Scottish name.

[@Auriflamme]

***** Well I'm Irish and I don't consider it an ethnic group, nor have I ever heard another Irish person refer to it as an ethnicity. It's a cultural and national identity within the caucasian race/ethnicity. But anyway race/ethnicity are such vague terms that nobody seems to be able to decide what they really mean. Furthermore, Scotland was heavily populated by Irish people during the Bronze Age and beyond - we're basically brothers and sisters.

[@pj006marsden]

surely the bloke sitting on the bed could go for a walk instead sitting there like a creep

[@abebrese3428]

“Go for a walk bud ” I was thinking the exact same thing

[@DodgeyHodgey]

😂

[@DodgeyHodgey]

I'm jealous too guys it's all good

[@westernpigeon]

i know right!!!!

[@rlcwallpapers]

How can you not fall in love with this soft spoken woman?

[@d0wnpour]

"One of THE cutest fighters in UFC history." - Joe Rogan

[@monumentsNmelodies]

That guy in the back couldn't for a walk or get a cup of coffee? So awkward he just sits there, not even on his phone or anything lol.

[@PapaJosh111]

Zach Makovsky... UFC fighter.

[@tomatos9445]

Lmfao

[@liosmani9353]

lmao haha

[@WilfredBrimleyGaming]

I know, so distracting! Wtf

[@Refulgent_Rascal]

IKR!

[@lowlypeasant]

Just a wee lil faerie.

[@ryanbonner25]

'wee' means little, we dont say both at once.

[@justinhorton993]

and sentences are supposed to start with capital letters, what's your point? how do you decide which rules YOU follow?

[@ryanbonner25]

+Justin Horton ok

[@Commievn]

I have dig bick. But who care right ?

[@bluwng]

+Justin Horton you realize you responded to Paul. Don't feign intelligence and arrogance when it's obvious you are neither.

[@rickjames707]

I wish she would say William Wallace just one time

[@genaroflores835]

Wuw-yum Wor-lis

[@harkirat8591]

Freedom!!

[@abstractgeniuscomments]

Hah!

[@KeithFarrell1993]

Genaro Flores that sounds like an Irish accent

[@kevbarnes5558]

+Keith Farrell what's being irish got to do with William Wallace he was Scottish you dummy

[@Str33tJustus]

This is definitely a tough fight, but will be rooting for JoJo 100%

[@rko72k]

ufc needs a women's 125 division

[@ldavis5734]

105

[@psgraya2]

FACT.

[@psgraya2]

Nope. 125 is the only one really needed. Too much talent for the flyweight, other divisions don't have much talent.

[@1suck1it1]

65

[@enisity]

+decimated550 lmao there are def plenty of talented women.

[@rockdog2843]

She is such a sweetheart.One tough cookie too! I hope she gets her belt soon.

[@thatonedude9074]

JoJo is to cute not to love

[@thatonedude9074]

ariel is a good as well

[@AlwaysBonpoint]

Yeah you know right. You could never guess this same cutie pie went all killer mode on Valerie.

[@cuprofessa]

+John Doe "douche"

[@johnhoe1503]

Why is that guy laying in the bed like a Cuckold

[@Tonkosmell]

hahahahahaha loool

[@hihihi1q23]

[@5starjonny467]

The guy is her duck buddy

[@AceofDlamonds]

LoL!!

[@AllStar4261]

Cause he is...CTFU!!

[@rodiape]

I could just fall sleep to the sound of her sweet voice..

[@femteezy1992]

youre a good interviewer, ariel. very subtle, revealing question and nice connections with the fighters

[@stevesmacfix]

So unique! Her last fast was great! Hope she keeps the momentum going!

[@ultimatecontactsports]

She would be the perfect 125 Champ and would be a great ambassador for the UFC. She is adorable, cute, and well spoken.

[@detgoat]

ariel has been killing this week with the long form interviews in person

[@OldSkullGaming]

Great Interview as always....I hope she performs as well as her last fight....shes definetely a conteder....top 3 for me.....and I love her voice!!!

[@fredrikandersson3885]

19:37 when she tried to sound agressive, THE CUTENESS MY GOOOODDDD!!!!!

[@69butternut.]

Good to see this interview. She needs to be out there more being heard. I know you don't have to be loud to be heard but you kind of do have to be seen. Not seen any of her on the Embedded series. Can't find an open workout video either. She can be a star.

[@supergabee]

Didn't even watched the video and already liked it! I wish UFC gives JoJo a push. She's so sweet and such a killer! Love her interviews.

[@supergabee]

Watch*

[@P0ETICsin]

Thanks for this interview .Great insight good way to know the fighter .Free press for Jojo .The UFC should be doing this tho.

[@wurble]

Great to see Jojo getting on the main card for a PPV. I miss seeing her fight in that mini kilt. That Reebok deal is a stain on the UFC.

[@onetuffspartan1981]

amen:(

[@angusbhattacharya2734]

The quality of these vids is very cool

[@CutieR0bk]

Amazing interview

[@lowlypeasant]

JoJo could make millions as an ASMR youtube star. Getting a chub in the first 30 seconds.

[@bennytao2546]

Ariel has been very busy lately, keep up the good work!!

[@wileywiggins184]

this is the future of mma journalism. finally we get to find out about their interesting personalities. he makes them so comfortable. keep it up

[@nwk-wt3ty]

Love her jumper - anyone got a link?

[@hyroproto4364]

Looks to be a shy person with a timid voice. Cant believe she is a mma fighter. Supporting her for a win

[@emmamarymartin7740]

yass shes from irvine👏🏼👏🏼

[@RefinedQualia]

Where do you get your shirts Ari theyre sharp

[@jimbizzzale67123]

no matter what people say, you are one of the best at interviews with fighters. wish the UFC would recognize your talent. although you seem to be doing fine.

[@julianmontez8484]

Dude in the back looks like he is waiting for Ariel to bounce, so he can smash. lol

[@kylep2406]

[@MmaSmarty87]

You're on Steroids

[@TJ347]

He's her boyfriend. C'mon guys, get a clue.

[@ICXCNIKA95]

Her voice is heaven

[@kingnothingx7890]

shes from near where i live in Glasgow Scotland

[@FeatheringitBrother]

I was concerned seeing her in a zombie like state during her last press conf. after her last performance. Probably the most soft spoken woman in the entirety of the UFC.

[@enisity]

Can't wait to watch you fight. Good luck!

[@mikeypsycho328]

Thanks for doing this Ariel/SBN, you are picking up the promotional slack the UFC should be doing!

[@reggierico]

What an honest, friendly, lovely young lady! Who can kick your ass! An intelligent, talented role model.

[@andremcfarlane2821]

Ariel and mmafighting just spoiling us in the last week with these exclusives, keep em coming

[@samuelfs9931]

She's so PERFECT!!!!!!!! Marry me joanne

[@frankthedappa]

That little giggle she did at the end

[@animachainzvideoz5921]

[@LeonardoRodriguez-pu2up]

Admirable, honest and like able fighter. I’m a huge fan of JoJo. I hope she gets a title shot next! Go JoJo!

[@JohnGotti__]

Calderwood vs Kowalkiewicz - cutest fight ever =)

[@johnhoe1503]

Could you even imagine if they tried to trash talk

[@TheVengance97]

Where are the subtitles Ariel?

[@youjustgotsqurirreled9637]

I just love her so much

[@LatinoPride214]

this woman's voice is beautiful 😍😢

[@mikaihunter1593]

JoJo, with her little voice you would think she can't kill a fly, but then you see her fight and she is a mean machine!, she kicks, she elbows, she is nastyyy👍😲

[@Chef_MDT2nd]

Great interview Ariel and its fantastic to see you again JoJo & thank you for sharing ! Best wishes and #goodluck JoJo @DRKneevil @badmofo_jojo 🤓 #kneewhisperer

[@mosshark]

the blood on the flag is awesome. i like this woman.

[@danielortman2534]

JoJo and PVZ are two of the cutest women ever. JoJo has the voice, and PVZ has the look, together they are some sort of fairy tale princess who can kick your ass.

[@Compton2952]

She's such a sweetheart.

[@shawnmc6561]

closed captions recommended.

[@CarpeDiemKim]

She have such a sweet voice. You would never guess she is a killer.

[@monitor-mindtheover-void6712]

All these fighters are so good and hardworking but it hurts when I hear that they don't get enough money or respect to live a relaxed life.

[@art_by_ngl7128]

I love it when she says carrot cake.

[@KGPBDKNIGHT]

she is so sweet i hope she win all the best

[@Ammaarzor]

She reminds me of one of my professors when I was at uni. She's an uber athlete as well AND a genius (PHD and several other degrees in comp sci, electrical engineering etc.), though she's Aussie (figures). She has a similar kind of voice. I call it the Dumbledore effect -> they can say something like "you failed", something you'd be upset about but it takes a long time to realise what is said because of the dreeaaammmyyy vvoiiicceeeeee and the whole time you're just smiling lol.

[@frankogiovani]

I love joanne calderwood, it's her persona and a love Scottish accents on me lasses Go team Calderwood hope she wins nd keeps getting there I thinking could be a belt holder belief is what you need and I believe in joanne x

[@abstractgeniuscomments]

The Silent Assasin. Totally rooting for Jojo, itelligent, humble, goid spirit, dead not-learnable attacks.

[@abstractgeniuscomments]

shitty spelling on my part...

[@abstractgeniuscomments]

[@frabbitfan92]

Love ya JoJo, Glasgow is watching !

[@aaronpatterson8845]

Looking forward to her fight.....

[@Rockominhosemiva]

[@stephen1681]

[@MacStatic]

I want to cuddle with her as she talks.

[@spashley4lyf]

[@NickolaiFury]

Damn I love her accent and soft spoken manner and the brutality in the cage, such a cutie. I've got a total crush. :) I hope Joanne wins!
