And still no boxer fighting an mma guy in mma

[@strawhatdabber]

2:26:41 tai tuivasa ends at this point.... whoever does the timestamps (Frank) lay off the magic mushrooms before you do these. K, thanks

[@middlefinger456]

3:16:32 this the realest Mf to ever ask a question on the show

[@brandonfranky7456]

Big fan always but the thirst for the Netflix job is pretty wild. Bringing up a bunch of things that have no business being compared to the Jake Paul and Tyson fight lol

[@Onlybadtakes2589]

Shoutout to the fan questions asking Ariel about the Tyson match announcement. Ariel is super technical with the details when defending himself but paints black/white points for those opposing him. Still a fan but his answer was a spin. I get it tho, get that Jake Paul money and Netflix gig.

[@billbennington4444]

yeah, theyre all poo poo slap fighting. but now its all, its a free country, and free men must make their own decisions, and my opinion means nothing.

[@deez8060]

100%

[@heyitsporo]

Ariel then goes on to state that they “keep it real”. I can see why ppl like Lucas Tracey and mma guru end up getting as much traction as this show does.

[@dobianuli2742]

A fan of a KZbinr?

[@dixieechann]

This Joanna energy is amazing

[@weazy2712]

Was anyone else hoping for Curtis Blaydes today ?

[@samedayprocessservers5605]

I wwwwwwwwwwwas

[@patrickcolin7073]

Last week's interview made me a big fan of him. He's such a chill and likeable guy

[@patrickrolny1169]

Only you

[@colestein7643]

JJ and tai back to back will always make my day . Great shows this week !!!

[@JeremyDuke10]

DP vs BSD is the same as Jake vs Tyson? How high is Ric right now? He's a genuinely fairly intelligent guy but that is a HOF bad take right there.

[@Aqua_Holic_Fishing]

Needed the replay in order to skip all of ATT and listen to Tuivasa!

[@jacobwarren5371]

The disrespect on the likes, this show the greatness mma podcast today

[@Aqua_Holic_Fishing]

Jorge Vs Nate was breaking news? Wild times 80 bucks

[@jaystank3777]

$80 to watch two washed MMA fighters box. Last weekend was $50 to watch Francis get KO'd after a terrible undercard on an event that ran for 10 hours. Thankfully, UFC 299 delivered.

[@danj805]

​@@jaystank3777The fights didn't end up being greatly exciting but on paper that undercard was very good. Very easy to say in hindsight.

[@patrickrolny1169]

I buy most ppvs etc but this one is ridiculous, no way I'm paying for this

[@MainCardMinute]

I don't understand why there would be any appetite for Jorge/Nate in boxing, Jorge already won in MMA and now they're going to rematch in a discipline where Jorge has the clear advantage...

[@danj805]

Yeah I don't get this either. Sure Jorge hit him with some good kicks but for the most part he absolutely pieced Nate up with the hands...what's going to change here?

[@anthonymarania5770]

@@danj805i think the only argument is that they’re fighting with bigger gloves so less likely that Nate will suffer a fight ending cut like the first fight. therefore he should be able to hang until the later rounds where he might win because of his gas tank

[@TheJewinator]

Lets all hope the hammer makes a speedy recovery !

[@JeremyDuke10]

Very dishonest answer to the Jake Paul v Tyson question. There was very clearly a lot of support for Jake on Monday. It's literally recorded and on this channel. Lots of false equivalence with the Francis situation and comparing it to Vitor. It is a horrible matchup and these boys who tend to portray being the guys with principles have not and still don't acknowledge that this is the case.

[@Surre4LSoto]

Alright guys let’s all remember this Ariel says it doesn’t make a difference whether a fight is on the main card or not, keep the receipt

[@martro_]

seriously especially after the debates about main vs co main vs feature vs peoples main vs penultimate 😂

[@justinringsby]

That MMA HOUR hat is so sick!!! Great episode today :)

[@scarecrow4638]

Sad to think if a fan disagrees with the show we get poo pooed

[@wifiunove1650]

Diaz and mazvidal milking the fans. Fight bare knucle or bare knucle mma. Nobody wants to pay to watch that touch but in the park

[@HanoiHustler]

I would pay if they fought in a hooters toilet stall... Ref with a cattle proud.

[@PeterGibbonns]

Yea, Fanmio is offering a discount while your still paying the monthly premium for several months leading up to the fight at which case your still paying the $80.

[@90876589]

It's cool Frank, most of us wouldn't have bought those cookies either 😂

[@peteasarisi2536]

Diaz v Masvidal should be in the UFC the kicking elbows & ground work that night was awesome. Worst stoppage tho

[@jaystank3777]

They're both washed and want you to pay $50+ to see them box. Why should the UFC want any part of this pathetic event?

[@maxmason1249]

mike davis thiago moises parlay was an absolute lock in hindsight ofc that was the outcome

[@maxmason1249]

1for4 on the singles GC this week been rough for all of us

[@mitchg5809]

Arial curious, what is the age you are not okay with someone fighting?

[@ChrisMakesBeats]

As usual ric goes on for 3 minutes making the same point over and over someone cut this guy off after 30 seconds

[@MufcGgmu38]

3:04:25 do playback speed 0.5 speed it’s one single bean and it looks like it goes straight in to the jacket

[@mmaquickgems2102]

Love Nate but nobody wants to watch that boxing match Both guys are done

[@nicholassolis8763]

Ariel say girl scout cookies were $2 a box lol? Maybe in 1975. Those small ass boxes are like $6-7 dollars

[@nicholassolis8763]

Other media members and outlets aren't getting paid by the broadcaster and working the show. They're just covering the event. Hence why people question you and not other members. Also theres a certain bias that comes in consciously or not when you're getting paid by the broadcaster.

[@CombatSports01]

1:08:00 Lee Wyile 2:33:38 cookies

[@nosdenp-m2511]

Thanks for the sub ! I dont know who u are but this is very nice from u. Stay safe !

[@GlasshouseaquaticsGHA]

Kayla’s interview told me she’s taking an L no doubt

[@Mandoop8]

Ariel was based af about collective bargaining

[@Surre4LSoto]

Way to answer the 30 year age gap question. “It is what it is” come on bruh

[@jonoharper4729]

Fury was totally unprepared and didn't train for Francis, and thus the illusion of "Francis the boxer" was created. Francis is a great mma fighter, a huge puncher, but he ain't no boxer. AJ found him out.

[@andrewh3140]

Do it Ariel! It's been too long.

[@coreyhaze2348]

Gotta buy the cookies frank..lol wtf dude….great questions by Helwani, Has to be a huge emotional burdens with loosing, hell even winning

[@2rich4most85]

Jorge all ways want to break a face but don’t do it😂

[@HempyMcGee]

Man, Ariel’s & Kayla’s friendship. Absolutely love it even when I have thoughts of skipping it 🫰

[@HanoiHustler]

Joan in bare knuckles would be sick.

[@BrianSweeney89]

Right when I get live chat privileges, yee end the stream!! This is not a coincidence 😅

[@nv6152]

Gotta love Kayla Harrison

[@ahmedfakhry8636]

I like how hypocritical he is, talking in the show about defending the fighters and unifying the fighters for the fighter pay issues, etc. But when it comes to nearly 60 years old mike Tyson fighting, yeah it's his own thing we don't care, blah blah blah :""D

[@jely5541]

10 rounds smh . Why do fighters wanna mess up Diaz late in his career/ life.. i dont understand 😒 . He's paid! & has paid enough dues to the sport. Don't get it

[@cdid2026]

When Nate lost to a Disney kid no one cares about the Connor fight anymore

[@Tac0maAr0ma]

Free Palestine.

[@narcisovalle2928]

3:24:17 Idk about the rest of the audience but for me it’s more so I’m tired of hearing jake this and Jake that on THE MMA HOUR. More than about not wanting to watch the fight. Idk if made sense lol

[@azzeeraldo4462]

And the wrestling bullcrap. The weseal talks about it as if it’s not scripted

[@1975Adamd]

NBA players make 50% of revenue Ariel you are correct!! The average dude you have no idea about makes 1.1 million a year in 2024, but how many games do they play each year and how much traveling do they do!! Apples and oranges my friend.. go live near a PI and take advantage of free food, free therapy, free everything you could need.. Bellator paid 1 & 1 to just about all their prelim fighters! Talk about that!! And they had more money than ufc being under Viacom!!

[@Truesk8er1]

Realest comment here.

[@Josh-wd8my]

Weili trying to geeeeettttt it

[@Sssensei11]

yes you can compare it to Vitor vs Holyfield. didn’t Jake beat “MMA champs” like Woodley and Silva? the problem is he yaps so much about He’ll be champ and wants to fight dudes like Canelo but doesn’t fight anyone who will get him there. he fought like one decent guy which is “Fury” and lost. now he’s back to fighting the elderly. he just seems like a coward fighting a 60 year old boxer. don’t matter how great he was when he was in his prime. Rick sounds like such an idiot only talking to back Ariel. Mike being 58 is the point of this fight but when he tries to pick a fight with actual pretty active or semi retired boxers like a Ryan, Tank, Floyd or Canelo and says he’ll be champ one day.. no comment on that. no Jake go fight damn near 60 year old Mike.. thats what we wanna see.

[@zephyrleapold6796]

Joanna would beat the piss outta Dern for all the rounds it's scheduled, glad that didn't happen.

[@ChrisMakesBeats]

Another hour of Jake Paul talk there's no point

[@AnthonyCarver7]

I have no interest in Diaz vs Masvidal in boxing

[@thepeoplebrothers8017]

Kid hating on Paul vs Tyson is a nerd. Get a life

[@alloverdaplace2043]

Wowzers Joanna was all over the place lol she's like a dog that sees a squirrel. 😂 She deserves HOF tho 🔥💯

[@ojyid]

🇵🇸

[@noremorse4379]

Diaz vs Maz the least interesting boxing fight i can think of

[@popsongromance]

please have dewey cooper on.

[@ChrisMakesBeats]

The Jake Paul hour

[@tuffneggah]

would ariel go back saudi if they funded palestine or hamas?

[@user-vi2ls9wy8v]

Looks like the worst 4 hrs in history lol

[@ralphmadrid6982]

Ariel Helwani....lol come on why are you hating on Umar Nurmagomedov? ....lol Ali has a huge huge roster...You don't have to hate on all of his fighters...Some are nice guys...Also, in Umar case, Nobody ranked from 10 - 5 wants to fight him and dodge him...He wanted Ricky Simone and Ricky dodged him lol.....I'm sure the UFC realizes it and the first guy that said yes was the beast Cory Sandhagen....In Umar case he actually wants more fights before the title but if he isn't getting them...He can't just keep Fighting guys that are Debuting in the UFC and those matches could be dangerous also where he loses everything. I'm glad Dana White has a path for these type of special fighters....Ok you guys are all dodging him...Move him up to title contention!!!!.

[@nbjfc8967]

Maybe people don’t wanna fight him because he pulls out so much? Out of 10 scheduled bouts in the ufc he has only made it to 5 of them, 1 cancelled due to covid and the other 4, he pulled out. Other fighters don’t have Khabib bankrolling them and need to get paid, why would you agree to fight someone that pulls out 40% of the time.

[@Niko-us5wu]

eww why would people pay for diaz vs masvidal in boxing ahahah this is rubbish, mma is turning into social media cash grabs

[@HustleHardimon]

Proudly skip every Kayla Harrison interview.

[@billdewey3665]

Mega fight lmfao😂im good

[@PeterGibbonns]

Can we all agree Kayla is pretty damn annoying?

[@Rya_N33]

Anyone else sick of hearing people cry about fighter pay? Look at Ariel he isn’t Evan a fighter and by the ufc propping him up and giving him shine he blew up and is now a millionaire. That’s the power those three letters will give you it’s not there fault if you do nothing with it. No fighter should be paid 100 million to fight for 30 minutes unless it’s to the death

[@noremorse4379]

When a surgeon gets paid, they don't get paid for just the time they operate. They get paid for the many years of dedication they put in to qualify to be a surgeon, a large percentage of their entire lives. Same for fighters, they dedicate their lives to it, not just 30 minutes
