@@ettorebugatti9354well, he is like a Yoel Romero (as seen in his fight against Yoel). He is an absolute monster, but lacks that little something to become champion. If he didnt get a point taken away in that fight against Vettori for example, he would have won that fight with a torn biceps.

Man it's really such a shame that Paulo hasn't fought more. It's a young man's sport and he's fought 1 time per year the past 5 years. He's in his prime at 32 and all of the downtime is something you can't get back. Just a few more years and he's on his way out of his prime and in territory that we rarely see guys compete at the top of the sport. I feel like it's important to stay active and do as much as you can, while you can.

17:00 LOL. "They don't pay me" 😂 Yeah, sure they don't, Ariel. Anyone who actually believes that is a mark. You think Ariel mentions Prime multiple times per show and always keeps a bottle on set because they don't pay him? Haha. You think that Logan Paul imitator was able to get a Prime sponsorship WELL BEFORE the attention from getting slept by Nate, and the biggest MMA show that Logan and Jake have both been on multiple times, can't get a sponsorship? 😂 That notloganpaul doinker had one about a year ago. Ariels just using the whole "they don't pay me but it's just so good I plug it anyway" gimmick. They're 100% working with Ariel.

There's a reason you've never seen any branded drink on the show before, and now you see Prime and him talking about it nonstop. It's all paid.
