[@Ventis1HerO]

Moicano shouting out MMA GURU, what a legend

[@patrickcolin7073]

Y'all are obsessed with him

[@Makula-px8fr]

Mma guru lame af

[@Ventis1HerO]

@@Makula-px8fr he lame because he has different opinions?

[@Makula-px8fr]

@@Ventis1HerO nah just the way he acts is pretty annoying to watch. There’s plenty of other KZbinrs that don’t act that way

[@Ventis1HerO]

@@Makula-px8fr go and watch them then 👍

[@WilliamSmallacombe]

Mooicano shouting out the Guru is all time!!!

[@codygoodson]

Moicano has known English for 2 years and knows every single word in the English dictionary

[@ALEXJ1993]

GC the trim looks dope. Definitely the right move

[@Ry-tr4xy]

GC looking great

[@thomasmcgregor1363]

GC you look better bro hope when my hair goes i can pull it off. But its better than before 👍👍

[@christianc2082]

Love Supa Sodiq’s energy

[@feralsanders]

"Bite of the Night" what a gem, especially since the guy was terminated. LMFAO~

[@camko11]

Here from Spotify just to check out GCs head

[@zephyrleapold6796]

Bich coin FTW

[@PRlD3]

GC love the bald + beard combo dude. 100% better looking my guy

[@BigMikeDaGr8]

Yo... I love this dude Sodiq Yusuff.

[@cac9926]

I dont even watch this guy but everytime I fall asleep watching MMA it comes on

[@hoesbeforebrosbro]

Did moicano mention guru?

[@noxzy69]

Payton is a certified star.

[@steeztv1444]

Ariel, I listened to every episode for years straight. No joke. Always try to slide bym in but lately BYM is all I listen to. I’ve taken a good 3 weeks off of this show just to spread the love but god damn I’m back Michael bisping is amazing but his co hosts are literally a drop of what GC and Rick brings to the table. In other words, I’m back.

[@LinaSanchez752]

The tapestry behind the first interviewed is… Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuatl… they are called the Aztec Romeo and Juliet

[@merkog7444]

Looks good GC, I remember the first time I razored my head… In my opinion, I’d go razor blade all around with a shorter clean beard, fade the side burn … similar to Volk!

[@Hanashi_mma]

Great show today as always!!

[@brianhershey563]

Wait, I'm screaming in delight over this shave OMFG!! hahaaa

[@25Dzone]

GC looks great with the bald + beard look

[@jonoharper4729]

Alex exposed mysterious Frank. Now he's just Frank 😂

[@iPEREZ408]

Anyone have a timestamp? Lol

[@stelosan]

where is it at broo

[@langtryvlogme]

The Pimblett/Gordon fight, the Sean Omalley/Pete Yan Fight, the Robbie Lawler vs Niko Price KO, all good examples in recent history of how the UFC is slowly turning into a show and nothing but a show

[@anttheman6370]

Love seeing chris weidman on the show

[@kingcarrot6355]

Where's Pat Barry

[@GeraldGruenigMedia1]

Nowhere good

[@cassanateli]

Hopefully on a s.o register

[@ayvzu]

Hiding in a bush somewhere

[@derrickc3173]

At the local elementary school looking for his next girlfriend

[@Mandoop8]

The highlight was Weidman questioning whether gory is a word after repeating it so many times 😂 And Ric, remember tight is right!!

[@VRChango]

Is there a way to only subscribe to this show? I want to subscribe but cannot have my feed spammed with all this other content and clips.

[@rsernapolitics3380]

2:26:39 my daughter is obsessed with iwaju. She watches it on repeat. I’ve probably seen the series 30 times by now. 😂

[@jfilomia]

you gotta love Weidman!! "you can just quit"!!

[@sporeGAnerd]

I was having a bad day until I saw how happy GC is about his bald head. Have a good one!

[@rufusjackson7610]

Rick should show up after the event in a full body cast to freak out Ariel lol

[@junipersnow1]

170 Chris W.... Lets go !!!

[@taylorcuch754]

Not rose’s self conscience is trying to warn her about Pat 👀

[@SliceOfLife100]

These UFC "Main events" are getting so bad, this is the problem with having a show every week

[@HustleHardimon]

Glad I got to hear about a f*ckin dog park. Thanks Rose 😒

[@millieatr]

Chris Weidman's phone overheated ,,good save brother , that was like hitting Ariel with a spinning backfist

[@carravagio16]

in response to Ariel talking about AI - You need to watch the movie "HER" from 2013, very interesting / ahead of its time.....

[@dylanreyes1084]

Money Moicano!!!

[@michaelherron4306]

Moicano is the man

[@KingDuppy]

Payton Talbott my new favorite emo person

[@KingStu-kr7wz]

Gotta get the 0.5 on the top because the sides grow back too quick. Welcome to the club GC

[@junipersnow1]

Yusuff is a saint, cool to see.

[@xqlusive-streaming]

Payton talbot , what a cool dude . Wish u the best m8

[@TEZEM0N]

i freeeeekin love blanchfield

[@TEZEM0N]

gc looks good! make sure to keep the beard tho

[@toosmoovvvwit_it_2x54]

Ariel if see this can you tell us how you got the pride fighter announcer to say ur name that was always fire 🔥

[@GetWetIBlade]

GC F*#KIN FINALLY!! I never commented on the hair because it’s not my business. But holy moly am I glad you did this, looking sharp G. Respect!

[@Veliki77716]

Damn Weidman is going after unortdox power puncher with great chin,good luck

[@SliceOfLife100]

As if Ariel is going to have Chase on from Chase & Status, talk about worlds colliding

[@shaneoinsaneo6820]

Congrats on the new niece Ariel

[@SparkyTakedown]

I dont understand Rose's moves. She literally gave away her by KOing and then defending against the powerhouse of her prebious division and then goes up a weight class to prove herself all over again for a title. You were already a champion.

[@1983mikechan]

Ric knows the all nighter is common among poker players.

[@stevieR-lw4iy]

All I want to know is when is Raquel Pennington defending her title?

[@eisleywelsch748]

GC looking like a stud.

[@kingcassels7859]

Money Moicano!! lets go

[@jasonriddle4492]

Sadiq is the man

[@Falkov]

Oof..Moicano’s MMA Guru shout-out killed the stellar vibe, just before interview’s end and (likely glowing) recap..shot through the heart.. ..at least everyone survived..I think it’s going to be ok. Good on Moicano giving that fair shoutout and (I think) trying to do it tastefully w/re:Ariel’s feelings. Interesting moment. Fun interview.

[@evanholliman7736]

All class and no disrespect either way. We’ll see what comes of it but he played it center. 💰 💵

[@Falkov]

@@evanholliman7736 Indeed.

[@brianhershey563]

All love to Rose. Sorry but I could summarize her piece, "So you want to be a fighter?". This is a brutal business.

[@Qwertyfied18]

Welcome to the shaved head club its fantastic when you once do it.

[@SparkyTakedown]

Here for Henato Munnay Moycaann-uh !!

[@griffithluke572]

Ariel Helwani for President. He’s aleady got a solid cabinet👌🏻

[@adamarce8341]

For a long time I've been underwhelmed by Ray Longo's coaching and that gym's approach to things. The fact that he told Chris "He's not much of a leg kicker" can not be understated enough. As a coach, your damn near top priority (especially w a fighter that self proclaims to not watch tape) is to watch tape on behalf of that fighter. By saying he doesn't throw leg kicks, that's an egregious mistake. Not to mention, chris lives in SC, so Ray Longo's ONLY JOB was to study the opp because he cannot physically train him.

[@aphexrhubarb]

Ariel , Rick and Gary (Dad Joke!)

[@millieatr]

Gotta say i was a little surprise to see a Biting in the fights , even more surprised when the guy said " Taste like Chicken"

[@1Travis]

GC is slowly morphing into Ariel

[@ralphmadrid6982]

lmao Love how Money Moicano comes on and in the first few seconds he plugs in his youtube channel, content, and his social media accounts. Subscribe to Money Moicano!!!!!! 😅😅😅

[@HustleHardimon]

Never thought Moicano would convince me to learn more about bitcoin.

[@HalfSeasOver]

Of course Talbott is into neuroscience 🍄😂

[@troyspartan95]

I really like Moicano! And he's got me thinking about investing some money in bitchcoin lol

[@richardromero6722]

Why wasn't Trevor Whitman in Rose corner?

[@mr.kavlas]

Ariel*** why do you support the Knicks over Raptors since your a proud Canuck

[@brianhershey563]

The Apex fights are for the super rich, UFC also caters the high rollers, Dana's Boyz... they be aight 🙏

[@trapperkeeper4136]

Welcome to the brotherhood GC. Wait till you use a razor to shave your head.

[@GalickGun]

Based Moicano mentioning guru lol

[@lilPerc30]

Real one

[@alimk91]

But for real why doesn’t ric want to sleep?? Lol

[@jc4418]

Gc looks like Christopher Heyerdahl now hahahahahahahahahaha

[@FazzzyV]

Looks like it’s just surnames in the thumbnail … brave new world

[@JG-rt6ny]

Moicano’s no Dillon Danis

[@rickjones5399]

Rose is happy and that's all that matters. Her first fight moving up and she had a feeling out process. It happens sometimes. And all you losers crying about ain't holding a candle to her

[@ralphmadrid6982]

Yoo GC you look great bro but if you are 1 of those type of guys that want hair...Look what Merab did...You can always get a hair transplant and have a full set of hair bro...But if you dont care...You look great bro. Cheers!!!!

[@maxmason1249]

pretty sure he would know that lad what’s the point of that comment

[@ralphmadrid6982]

Lad!!!....What's the point of your comment?

Baldy solidarity is real, nobody wants to have no hair. Stop lying to yourselves 😂

"No Hair Is Soooo Much better!!" -- No Bald Man Ever

[@mannysanchez911]

Ian Garry don't want to fight Mvp cause he's ranked under him.. But he also wants Colby who's ranked above him. Come on!

[@TimelineBeats]

Do you understand in order to compete for a title shot, you would want to fight higher ranked opponents to climb the rankings as fast as possible?

[@nicholassolis8763]

Lol Weidman def felt disrespected Ariel didn't watch the E60. Also super lame excuse from ariel lol

[@jchex4392]

After listening to money moicano, I’m definitely investing in “bitchcoin”

[@ReyQuraishi]

Great to see AH guilt trips be destroyed… it really is nauseating 👀

[@nicholassolis8763]

Definitely wouldn't the bald look is better lol. It looks fine. Keep it super shaved bc the hairline def stands out worse

[@Sssensei11]

Ariel wants them to stop events at the Apex so he can then say they stopped because of him.. dude always wants credit for everything.

[@noremorse4379]

Until something goes wrong and he then says it was nothing to do with him lol

[@ericperez639]

Only here for money Moicano

[@PeterGibbonns]

Moicano apparently only reads one side of arguments.

[@robot9071]

There are many sides doesn't mean that all of them are equally valid.

[@PeterGibbonns]

@@robot9071 My point exactly. Thank you for that.

[@noremorse4379]

Guru used Ariel's trick against him. Ariel tries to get fighters to mention him to UFC. MMA guru used this

[@9tailskyle]

MMA guru

[@noremorse4379]

MMA guru!

[@trevordemara8599]

Just retire already Weismann

[@Hinglemicringleberry]

Wouldn’t these fights at the apex not happen if there wasn’t an apex?

[@alexcastro-bz7nl]

Shout out mma guru!

[@spruceleaf9447]

people pay for the live chat. makes sense. some pay for life help while others just have friends ffs
