These two together are great. It'd be good if this show was both of them again

[@samthompson7073]

Warms the heart seeing you and DC kickin it together live once again. Great show.

[@81ghale]

I haven’t watched a single show since Ryan Clark joined. I can’t stand that guy for one, but the two of you together is what made the show.

[@awi9053]

The chemistry between DC and Ariel is so pure I wish they would have a show again. They flow so well together 😂😭😭

[@alv2617]

It’s lovely to hear Ariel articulate his understanding of what DC and Helwani meant to a lot of us. Truly a blessing to have that show, alongside UFC (thanks Dana), to enjoy and look forward to during the pandemic.

[@lebraa]

RC is just about 10x vetter than ariel. And he aint even fully peaked

[@J-Fern]

@@lebraa lol you're tripping. RC is getting better for sure but they are nowhere near what DC and Helwani were.

[@TB-lj9rt]

This is the greatest episode ever - two of my lockdown heroes BACK IN YOUR LIFE!

[@Noah-ce6cl]

These two were amazing during lockdowns!

[@Jack-ur7mq]

Beta.

[@pologfan3505]

Same bro

[@sammatt6678]

So true! Got me nostalgic of the lockdown days

[@Fabo100]

Ariel described it perfectly. During the pandemic at the very beginning DC and Helwani was my comfort show. I remember I took 6 weeks off work to play it safe and I was very early on in my 3 year relationship so I was so bummed cuz we were scared about contact and my parents are old. Show took my mind off things, miss it!

[@aremayo9262]

Man, DC and Helwani was one of the shows I looked forward to every week during the early days of the pandemic. I forgot how great these two bounce off each other.

[@Edwinlicomedy]

That thumbnail looks like a hip hop album

[@cailenblackwell2428]

i used to watch these 2 every week on the old show.. good vibes dudes.

[@mookles14]

Imagine these two in studio together, tag teaming interviews with fighters riffing off of each other. Would be entertaining as hell.

[@picklecage5488]

I would pay anything for that

[@thirstface]

Yep, DC & RC just aint it

[@Jmp153]

Imagine the smells

[@gzzuss]

This duo was the joy of the Mondays in the pandemic, I wish they could have a show together again

[@scruffyrodriguez7698]

Best mma hour week ever

[@olthickwrists1046]

This episode brought me back to the early pandemic. Your show made it easier going to work every day. Much love

[@filipbriggs1263]

best chemistry, i don’t love either of their individual shows but together it’s beautiful 🤩

[@saturnstar718]

LOVE the thumbnail. Lookin like 2 og's ready to suit up one last time. Miss you guys togetha.

[@25Dzone]

In the penultimate On the Nose question you guys stopped at FW for Bellator when I'd argue the biggest trade candidates outside of AJ McKee / Pitbull is probably Sergio Pettis or Raufeon Stots. Both great characters and the first has that Pettis name that UFC would ADORE to have back.

[@stanleysantos8422]

I forget why this show didn't continue on ESPN but DC & Ariel need to go off on their own and do something. Podcast, radio, tv show I don't care. These 2 had amazing chemistry and they had they were the #1 MMA show when together. I will watch anything they do together. 💯

[@rockyrivera6397]

an espn employee was trying to sabotage ariel (okamoto or the other mma dude most likely), dana and ufc also were trying to sabotage ariel, espn offered him a contract that was lower than the one he had previously and they would censor his show

[@harrymaynard4562]

This makes me so happy.

[@SomeDudeInTheChat]

I love Daniel and Ariel. They are respectively the greatest at what they do.

[@govindprabhu3886]

so wholesome them hugging!!

Nice seeing them back together.

Missed seeing DC and Helwani! That was awesome to see. Gotta do a segment where y’all talk once a month man come onnnnn!!!!

Dude giving me ol DC and HelVani vibes. Man I missed yall.

[@thomasfields5198]

Love that dc’s picture was there staring at Ariel as he was giving the intro for dc. Great placement

[@billybucks8234]

Thank god’ fr everything

[@humma91]

Love his list.

[@frod730]

DC and Helwani “reunited and it feels so good”

[@Hanashi_mma]

Idk how but dc an helwani made me miss 2020 . Respect

[@kev30631]

Always enjoy Daniel Cormier interviews. He has great energy and is funny

[@Skiwi685]

Reunited....finally

[@chainyrabbit]

I usually listen to the show on Spotify but thought I'd watch this one on KZbin today

[@ruzzzty]

Nostalgia!!!

[@zayahmurica7160]

I'm one of those people that never really watched the MMA hour and didn't "discover" Ariel but became a fan of his from DC & Helwani Fucking loving this show rn

[@jimmygarza5055]

"Id be remiss" love jt

[@FightNightPicks]

The reunion! 🎉

[@jeremiahfreitag5242]

This was great , please MMA GODS give us more DC & Helwani!

[@inskrootable]

DC! Makes me so happy to see these guys reunite on the show. Viva la DC & Helwani!

[@pathmilakushantha4158]

Chemistry of these guys is out of this world!

[@notsomeanmark]

Love the chemistry. DC looks like he's slimming down.

[@miklosoul]

Would be amazing if these two could make a show/podcast together again

[@leonardorodriguez4762]

I love the MMA Show AND Ariel!

[@FatTony710]

God i miss these 2 together so much

[@Notveryclever19]

I forgot how good they were together.

[@25Dzone]

Paul vs Silva did around 200-300k according to the early reports - which given Boxing PPVs is a Sport where we've seen people like Wilder get 75k buys recently, it's really not bad given the Sport and given the landscape. He's never gonna just consistently break 1M unless he legit beats some HUGE Boxing names, there's only a handful in Boxing that even get close to 1M.

[@mustangx]

The chemistry unlike no other partnership

[@Itszaii24]

Man I miss watching them every Monday

[@gregorymitchell130]

Cqn someone please tell me how much a unit is? I cannot find the first episode where they explained it

[@ericg2076]

I feel like DC does not appreciate Ariel. Ariel Helwani is an OG

[@Yes_Boy]

1:02:30 "chaos never dies" day sounds wild! 😅😅

[@racistrobinhood]

It felt like DC carried him a little with the "hug" and push off....

[@badlandz215]

Y’all should be a guest on each others podcast more often

[@MrCelticsfan1996]

GC's stache game is going Strong!!

[@svddude23]

Give the people what they want, give us back our show

[@hawkeye1448]

THE GANG IS BACK

[@1998rks]

DC and Helwani was goated

[@mikeyp78]

Lol the whole this guy - - - - - - > comment. Plus him telling him you'll never hug me Ariel. So funny he finally got his hug.

[@biym6969]

Amazing! I always thought ariel and dc had great chemistry. Ryan Clark and dc mmmmmmmm not so much.

[@JorgeGarciaguitar]

Too cool

[@seabizkitsngravy]

Heelwani almost got thrown at the beginning lol

[@musamontu]

He was looking for it too 😂😂☠

[@ardnfast]

Range is going to be the deciding factor in the main event. And Alex is about to find out that's there's levels to this.

[@dixieechann]

DC and Ariel have amazing chemistry

[@chrishutch2387]

Ariel bringing up said national day will never get old

[@user-wg1pr5bi6x]

Did frank eat all the cupcakes And Chicken sandwiches?!?! Lmao Ariel being flabbergasted at that is hilarious

[@michaelsanders3395]

Surely you can edit the video and just crop out the standby when you upload the video?!

[@kingjams]

Ariel knows all the National Holidays 🤣

[@alamapstieks]

Hi Ariel, you probably don’t read these, but just in case. Can you add the video to your Spotify feeds please?

[@georgedaly9919]

I'll never get over loving to see how much helwani loves fighters. The respect he has for fighters and how much he loves the sport is amazing and he got to watch this sport be created and had a big part doucumentting history as the UFC became what it is today which is why all the fighters have so much respect for him as they should

[@alecj1994]

Dc stopping the hugs has me dying

[@brianRBVT]

DC, there’s plenty of Cambodian foods that I’d love for you to try! Miss the show!

[@willevalle9371]

it's nice to see Arial and Daniel again

[@MathiYahsJord777]

WhoooohYEAH!!!

Finally! DC has come back to… Ariel Helwani!

[@reroctherapper4983]

Not a single person in the comments mentioning Ariel pissing DC off trying to pick him up

[@deniscore8270]

DC is a snake

[@martinvillagran7593]

Cant tell you how much I love this reunion, such a great feeling... Thank you for making this happen!🥲

[@warrenhurley6136]

Thought he wanted to kiss DC for a moment, he's been playing so hard with his DC toys 🤣

[@simonlee498]

Muhammed Ali is the greatest person too ever do combat sports imo , not only did he have amazing fights he transcended too level I dont think any fighter will reach

[@revolutionoutdoorsandstuff5846]

DC and RC seriously doesn't hold a candel to DC and Helwani.... I mean that show is ok but seeing them together again just gives those vibes... We need them back together!

[@puds9980]

51:35 In my opinion, Dominick Cruz handled a loss the best when he stood at the post-fight press conference after loosing to Cody Garbrandt. Conor did surprise me though.

[@Keian191286]

Alex only does the occasional fight camp at city kick boxing. He trains with Lopez in the Gong 90% of the time

[@Sam-bz4hf]

Can I ask u a question why did your parents call you arial

[@CaptainScarBeard]

That ending is the most anyone has celebrated a first round league cup win ever.

[@humma91]

Here for DC

[@eddiegarcia7911]

RUN IT TO 1MILLION 🏃🏻🏃🏻🏃🏻

[@taffyroosevelt7809]

Why was DC lowkey mad when he tried to pick him up? 58:52

[@love8331]

PTSD

[@Sui_Generis0]

Because he doesn't like people trying to pick him up and Ariel knows that

[@usmanchaudhry6678]

Unleash the cain

[@brandonofviolet]

Damn, I hope DC comes back. That was a really great segment.

[@sitindogmas]

dudes the Howard Stern of mma!!!

[@poppad1187]

It’s Effed up that I missed this episode, now I haven’t watched the whole show but just after hearing DC’s list and so far Ariel’s reaction is classic. Come on DC, I understand the friendships as well as adding a the most dominant female in there but come on man. Damn I guess that’s the madness of having an opinion, everybody allowed one.

[@elbaso12345]

17:04 why are we always worried about what’s next instead on focusing on what’s happening.

[@usmanchaudhry6678]

Actually he is called Bron Breaker because uncle Scott Steiner Big Papa Pump has an ongoing feud with WWE and doesn't want him to use the name...

[@noremorse4379]

What's with the weird reaction to be being absolutely terrified of a hug lol

[@drzedd5212]

Ariel finally got the hug
