These 2 flyweights are legit making history for their division and the UFC. The division is blow up. Respect to the legends like DJ, Cejuodo, Benevidez, etc that laid the ground work and made the foundations of this division.

[@ChristoMac]

Happy to see Jimmy Smith doing well, also happy that Fernand is done with his beef with Francis!

[@jamkaituu8189]

Yeah, bashing and spreading lies on a dude for 2 years plus then he says sorry, gtfo

[@LT.11]

@@jamkaituu8189 lies? most of the thing he said was how he felt about Francis as a human being based on a personnal experience they shared, we don't know the truth beetween them especially since Francis never adressed it but it's none of our buiseness Fernand was in the wrong for making it public

[@jonlobov1249]

I couldn't wait for the Lopez interview, lol

[@kidgruesome407]

So Happy for Jimmy getting the Raw gig. He didnt deserve to be fired by the UFC.

[@pzath1979]

The whole first hour is all about WWE this is getting ridiculous one interview is ok maybe 20 mins but 2 interviews back to back on the MMA hour is too much. Love the show!

[@24inchdubz]

Jimmy and Bobby great interviews . Jimmy is perfect on Monday Night Raw. Funny how wwe treats him vs ufc

[@phenghs2007]

Is it just me or did this episode have a little too much wrestling talk?

[@martro_]

Great show

[@Slumpgodslimey]

Brandon’s walkout was one of the most bone chilling walkouts I’ve ever seen. Yes he’s not the scariest fighter but something about that walkout was different

[@sanpedrolashuertas]

Agreed. Was straight Tribalism.

[@bigdawg9005]

Figgy’s was way better. I knew Moreno was gonna get his ass whooped, he was way too focussed on entertainment

[@breadman5048]

What? That music was corny af tho

[@BasilLimbu]

Finally this Dream match is happenin’. Now I want Brock Vs Booby Vs DC in Wrestlemania 🙌🏻 And one of the best thing happened in WWE is Jimmy Smith.

[@iamyouyouareme9905]

Very humble and honest by Fernand

[@Eger118877]

Moreno and Figueiredo are two of the toughest guys with the best back stories. I have so much respect for both of them.

[@74G56]

Jimmy was brutally honest, very refreshing!

[@marshall_mma]

Oh my, I realized I had a headache by the end of Moreno's interview. Lol

[@SajbabS1]

Coach Fernandz got humbled... however, it takes a real Man to admit his mistakes and take responsibility. Kudos to him!!!

[@SajbabS1]

@Think This you think? Humility is not about a sport but who a person is!

[@TWIST3DGORRILLA43]

@Think This Found the Conor fan who lives through fighters vicariously, looks like a old one too. You can not speak for any aspect of a sport you do not compete in or contribute to.

[@MsMattox83]

You are wrong TT but those who make generalizations like that deserve no explanation, especially considering humility is whats neccesary for the child to understand. Peace be with you, child!!!

[@isuckeggs4094]

@Think This I can tell just by reading that, that you’ve never competed in sports. Stop acting tough online, you mentioning Reddit here also confirms you live on the internet.

[@karsam7751]

After watching the interview with Fernand , I understand why Francis left him. This guy is not trustworthy.

[@iamyouyouareme9905]

Wtf ? Fernand did nothing but respect Francis. Did we watch the same interview ?

[@hansharem853]

Fernand Lopes saying Heelhook all the time is really cracking me up!

[@adub92199]

It’s funny hearing fernand saying how everyone was scared of the heel hook attempt and Erick was saying he chuckled when he seen it

[@MrDeceptacon88]

After the fact lol

[@alloverdaplace2043]

Man what a great show I haven't watched pro wrestling in years. Interesting to see Bobby vs Lesnar. I'm intrigued

Can't believe the UFC could have Jimmy Smith and Dan Hardy on the broadcast but they don't want to.

[@flaredubbzy646]

Jimmy got dumped by his hot ex just to get picked up by a girl thats just as hot and treats him better. Im happy for him 👍

[@QloudsWorld]

Fernand Lopez .I love his thought process . He’s a good guy

Fernand's logic. Africa & France represents the rest of the world/MMA Community. Kudos Mr Lopez

[@elbaso12345]

Ariel says he watches fights on his laptop which leads me to believe our boy isn’t paying for them and is streaming the fights.

[@langtryvlogme]

To be fair with Fernand Lopez and his point regarding the heelhook let's not forget Frank Mir made Lesnar tap with a nasty heelhook

[@adub92199]

Yeah but Frank mir is literally known for his grappling

[@langtryvlogme]

@@adub92199 So what bro hahahaha look at Francis being known for his punches and decides to wrestle

[@cheeseburgereddie1929]

Good show as always. Jimmy Smith seems like a good dude. I must say, either he forgot the interview was on camera or he wanted to give Adesanya a run for his money for live tv nose picking champion.

[@matthewneville8158]

Heelwani is the goat 🐐

[@Ilouyumajklbisping]

So, if there was no Dana I would root for Fernand and Cyril since I believe the ego story about Francis and how he wouldn't lift up the mma factory and the fighters there, meaning giving them no credits. But Dana not paying and mobing Francis made me root for him

[@inlikesin9436]

[@den19852]

58:51 because it’s FAKE, why would it draw me in when it’s scripted?

[@chumpcity1126]

The Rock, Austin and the Attitude Era was entertaining even when scripted, it's more that it's cringe Pg with bad angles, bad scripts and no good characters

[@pghhypnotik2266]

I love Brandon Moreno. Hes such a badass

[@emptyscience]

I dont buy Lopez bs , was skeptical in the beginning too , It felt like he created alot of drama around it himself . Yes Francis left him but he wanted to train in US where there are better competition , better sparring partners and more coaches . Fernand got hurt cuz he took him when he was nobody and on the street but life goes on , people evolve . Francis had to look after his interest not his coach as bad it may sound . And yes and at the end he sounds salty regardless what he says because of what he did and said before "Francis is not what the people think " he implied on several on occasion that Francis is really bad person but never said why and what (specifically other than leaving him ) . He always blamed Francis for Stipe's loss and did not take any responsibility [ other than saying Francis didn't follow the plan ] immma tell you this 2nd time his hw fighter cant react on grappling ... Yes he promoted that fight and carried it on his shoulders but he released sparring footage and try to defend it . After months of following this drama , and not knowing them personally , I think Ngannou did well for himself and Bon Gamin will come back and prolly win the HW , but Lopez needs some time and step back from media and re-think if one of his fighters decides to try someone else or train with someone else to let them and not be salty about it , but let them know he supports their decision and they are always welcome to come back .Maybe find some high end grapplers next time ;) It is what it is .

[@homersimpson5964]

I worry for how many people don't understand how easily a heel hook can permanently alter your knee.

[@cheeseburgereddie1929]

“My good friend Ronda? Ronda Gene?” 😂

[@philfrohn7513]

Ariel, hit up Blue City Deli on Saturday in St. Louis, you will thank me later!

[@jacruce8818]

Brandon Moreno should still be champion, it’s almost like the ufc didn’t want him to have the belt. They won’t give them another re match back to back. Brandon Moreno is such a good person who leads by example and I hope he ends up beating him and staying champ!

[@iceman463864]

I can see why Francis left. This coach’s ego is huge. Starts off the bat just defensive and taking credit from Francis

[@yogi2983]

I thought Brandon won the fight too.. I was in shock that figuiredo won, but it is what it is.

[@garethparrish8921]

Ariel, what does jimmy smith mean by he got fired because he didnt fight for ufc? This a union thing or something?

[@m-jay356]

Heel hook in training and in a fight is two different scenarios. My ass tapped right away in training but in competition I'd hang on as much as I could

[@homersimpson5964]

If done right, no one would be able to continue fighting. Well maybe Vinny Magalhaes.

Feel bad for him but I have no problem with the ufc wanting former ufc fighters to be commentators and giving them a career after their fighting career is over.

[@spookyboi317]

Brandon Moreno is so likeable

[@Gotien718]

jimmy getting co signed by rogan then cut was just bad timing but ya that was awkward

[@Dannutts]

i hate that moreno lost that fight. what my eyes saw against figgy was that he (brandon) is clearly the better fighter. even in the 3rd, when moreno was knocked down, he was not close to being finished. his cardio and chin are too good; if there had been more time, he would've shook figgy off and kept going like he did the rest of the time. he was not scared of figgy's power, even after that. hope he gets the 4th fight.

[@twuandixon8675]

Should of thrown some power and not gotten knocked down instead of throwing 100+ pitter patter non damaging shots lol.

[@michaellaidler7143]

I just don't get how Moreno and others think he won. He clearly didn't. It was close, but not that close.

[@dixieechann]

Bill's fans crying is crazy. They voted against changing the rules 2 years ago. They had a chance in overtime, to play defense. They allowed a score with 13 seconds left in regulation. Everyone knew the rules going in. They only have themselves to blame...

[@noremorse4379]

You guys can do a wrestling show if you like but 90% of your audience are going to stop watching so maybe give your viewers what THEY want rather than just doing what you feel like? First episode I skipped for 6 months... Might lose interest rather watch Bisping for that type of content

[@mikeclizzy2138]

yes i understand people being upset. they click on the show with mma in the title and have to listen to wrestling talk. start a wrestling show for 1 hour a week called the wresting hour. but as far as some people being mad i get it, its like when your in the mood for some football stuff and someones tryna shove baseball stuff in your face.

Let me put a question to you. Should people who chose to be injured in MMA fights be allowed in hospitals next to people fighting covid who have no choice. I think maybe MMA should be put on hold until our hospital crisis level is much lower. Do we have the right to stress our hospitals with self inflicted injuries. Maybe the MMA should start their own hospitals.
