[@kayleighohler9999]

Wow the timestamps on this are absolute dog tier, do you need a legitimate intern who can do this for you? Is this Frank or NY crips f up? Also what's up with nobody being prepared for the show, it's literally every episode now where graphics are missing etc etc... is that part of the show, or are these employees really that lackadaisical regarding their professions and the overall quality of product you're trying to put out there?

[@rismoonchi]

Bb😊

[@lakesification]

I like every ep, I've subscribed for years, KZbin never offers a new video to me, I always have to search it. I find this odd.

[@hjc9912]

As a darts fan, if GC actually got a 180 within two weeks of having a darts board that is either supreme luck or insane natural talent and he should probably start playing properly.

[@melting_dave]

That Skye interview was really fun! Now that I know of her I definitely will be cheering and following her career

[@emmanueldixon2235]

She’s pretty 🥰

[@frankiegumdrops8532]

I love the show and watch religiously. But the 30 minutes of WWE talk to open up was brutal.

[@87YeaYea]

Agreed.

[@noremorse4379]

Yeh give it a rest please start another show for it

[@Tassiedevil287]

So proud of the way the Aussies conduct themselves proud humble people go Skye 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@chrismedz9741]

It was cool to see Leon make jokes and laugh a bit

[@Thijszz]

Can't stop laughing🤣 Jorge saying he getting hit with 3 losses, 3 felonies 3 lawsuites 🤣 3 piece

[@Thijszz]

50:47 but half is missing of jorge his interview.

[@rcortez5739]

They edited out the joint smoking

[@janniknielsen9292]

Got a tear in my eye when Skye told her story of her brother Jamie, and everyone said she moved like him.

[@youtubest5165]

Really enjoyed Leon interview! Low key really funny 😂

Leon reminds me of kawhi leonard especially the laugh lmao

Love your show guys

[@francosfarms1573]

Ariel is so annoying but I still love him. He is the brother / cousin that’s a know it all but can’t live without 😂

[@TheOrlandoTrustfull]

He definitely grew up being told how special he is

[@Last_Chance.]

Jorge not even looking at the road lmao

[@davereynolds7472]

He is we just don't realize it - i.e. peripheral vision Jorge's is about the best.

[@matrix35]

Was also smoking a ciggerette at the start of the clip. No wonder my man is gassing out so much of late in his fights!

As an Aussie I thoroughly enjoyed the content with Skye and it's the first I've heard of her, much respect to you Ariel.

[@yogibearyogibear7229]

U shouldn't respect ariel

[@lurchielangford8761]

Same, was a good listen

[@imupinthetrees]

Get Nate Diaz on the show

[@SliceOfLife100]

The man Leon Edwards!

[@IS-db6pn]

Woodley obviously talking about fighting Dan Hardy. I don’t know why he was being hesitant, Dan has talked about it openly multiple times.

[@johnsheridan1407]

Conversation with Skye is one of my favorite interviews I’ve watched in recent memory

[@martro_]

Thanks team.

[@lukewolfgang5002]

2:02:30 Leon’s got the belt “spread out like a lady” 😂

[@bg4801]

Love the boxing talk!

[@patrickcolin7073]

Best show lineup of the year!

[@user-zy9xg7jt3i]

The audio is all over the place here, many many minutes out of sync, was the video chopped up?

[@thatguyinthesky2553]

Darts addition - Excellent. Quick shout out to Bere Island "Rules", miss the double 1, have to get the following Dart between the "11" pins on the Board, wrap your head around that Ariel.

[@andrewSUN17]

Leon is such a great cat! Good man! Jamaica!

[@r.r.7497]

R.I.P Jorge

[@conradhomm6946]

Love it when Ariel brings journeyman fighters on the show

[@tralfmusic]

Leon's so awesome

[@tech1238]

Awesome show!

[@mikeconlon3246]

the time stamps are way off. about 20 mins off after the jorge interview was cut short.

[@Fabo100]

Having Leon and Jorge on the same episode is pretty funny and comparing and contrasting from that time is WILD

[@cb9018]

Why does KZbin take me back to a whole different interview 30 mins before when all I want to do is go back 30 seconds??

[@thatjack4]

Would’ve loved to see Jorge vs Conor on tuf

[@PoochZie]

Too late

[@opportunityhacker6042]

Damn! He straight blew up Jorge

[@keke1224keke]

Think khamzat thought the same thing about knocking Gilbert's block off an ended up in a war! So I hope he's ready bc Gilbert has been battle tested an more then ready..

[@Last_Chance.]

Colby's blood type came back as super bisnitch. Lmao

[@cha0s1999]

not funny at all

[@LEMONS884]

Burns is gonna smash Masvidal.

[@josiericaro3347]

This skye girl is impressive. Absolutely beautiful too. She can be a real star if shes as good as it sounds

[@andyandysweeney]

Love the darts 🤣 I'm sure in the future it will make for super funny moments!

[@BayleyBlake]

Great interview with Skye, she's delightful!... Ironically, I also had a brother called Jamie who died in a car accident before I was born!... So strangely, I can completely relate.

[@noicemate9111]

Why does ariel act like he helped Leon win the belt 😂

[@PERKIODURKIO]

Fr it’s so corny

[@MRxKRAZZY]

Casual. Ariel has been Leon’s head coach for the last 4 fights

[@Last_Chance.]

@@MRxKRAZZY lol bro

[@xProjectMyst]

Everybody knows Mojahed deserves all the credit

[@guernica8487]

I really thought when Ray Mysterio didn't come out that they'd have it so that it looked like the last man standing (Cody Rhodes) would think he'd won and then Ray would come in from under the ring and win it.

[@windowlizard]

I NEED TO SEE FRANKS FACE

[@noremorse4379]

Skye is fabulous at being interviewed

[@tefcar6999]

Did Ariel comment on him (attempting) throwing Jamal under the bus? If so can someone link me a time stamp

[@m.a6141]

I NEED TO KNOW TOO

New Skye Nicolson fan here!

The word you're looking for is interviewer

@@shane7051 yeah but the follow up question was my main point not the interview if self.

[@TheRulersBack18]

really like that leon won the belt, british fans been lining up behind all of these hype jobs, the one who actually got a belt was the one they were ignoring the entire time

Don’t tar us all with the same brush. I’ve been behind leon for years and a lot of UK fans have been also.

Can someone tell me what Leon says at the 1:39:54 mark, when Ariel asks him if he thinks Masvidal beats Gilbert?

[@sushantkanwat8507]

Gilbert vs masvidal will be the fight of the year.period.

[@nathangrace540]

No it won’t.. Burns is gonna handle him easily just like he did magney.

[@25Dzone]

I've gotta be honest - I love Wrestling but I fall in and out of love for it every so often and watching that Royal Rumble with the guys picks in mind did make it a little bit more exciting than usual! Great segment and hope it becomes a yearly thing even if you guys have to tweak how you do it.

[@Balaji-gv2ud]

Loved the darts bit but WE NEED BETTER LIGHTING Ariel c'mon!!

Glad that King_Masvidal is almost back. To extract vengeance. Hope Gamebred's also backup for Kamaru/Leon. What a great bunch.

Street Judas’ funeral was last March! The guys finished😂
