Ariel- He's a big boy Arlovski- (In his Russian accent) Good for him

[@1Know1tHurts]

Belarus, Russia - same people, different names.

[@Tjecktjeck]

Yevgenii Kisarauskas you may be person with ''Belorussian'' ancestry, but would be good if you could spell Belarusians properly to begin with. Belarus and Russia are different countries with different culture.

[@Tjecktjeck]

Yevgenii Kisarauskas maybe it is corrent in Russia - i dont know and neither care. But officialy it's Belarus, so it's Belarusian. You may think whatever you like, but as a Belarusian myself i dont need your option on this subject.

[@thecosanostracreed]

irish rover it's alot the same

[@MotoG-ef4hj]

irish rover doesn't matter which country he is holding a passport of, his native language IS Russian and so is his accent.

[@casxadw]

U gotta give it to Arlovski.. the guy is a legend, and never shy away from a challange.. he probably could have avoided fighting Tuivasa and fight some1 up the ranks after 2 wins in a row.. but he still took the fight

[@sebastianbadov31]

He’s a “Big Boy” Good for him..

[@blankname3620]

Arlovski dosent even know how funny he is 😂😂😂

[@sebastianbadov31]

Aaron Cooney Cooney he’s a big boy Good for him 🤣

[@salchamp714]

I tweeted Ariel before watching this video, he needs to interview arlovski more often! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@TheZac691]

“Hows tastes my big pee pee!” - Andrei Arlovski

[@rickystan1069]

He’s a legend

[@cambo6911]

Agreed

[@seangallagher4498]

Arlovski is hilarious

[@cambo6911]

He's an awesome dude and a living legend of MMA 👍

[@mario6sic6]

Ive never seen him so excited

[@rbk915]

Badass accent

[@a2zme]

If you don't like this guy, you don't like fighting.

[@donaldwilson3579]

a2zme then i guess i hate fighting ....

[@cambo6911]

Agreed

[@rezendogmorales3747]

Donald Wilson bye then 🙋‍♂️

[@mcrusty2507]

well then i really dont like fighting

[@6663000]

He seems like a great guy. Also, he was never "mad" during this interview and he doesn't hate Ariel... he's being funny! It's a stone-faced deadpan sort of thing, he knows what he's doing.

[@finalarsenal]

Exactly, same with Khabib.

[@obliviox]

HAL 9000 cause they know hes a fake weasel

[@Marsh1511]

fkin love arlovski

[@Legio__X]

Anyone ever notice the heavyweights a the most down to earth honest people in the UFC? No drama no egos just tell you what’s on their mind. I love that.

[@MDitIs]

this guy has the best chin in the whole UFC!

[@Malouco]

MuayThai if he only smoked weed like Nick Diaz.

[@drewh2822]

he is in the heavyweight division so can't fault him if he gets dropped by 220+ pound dudes

[@sbrmilitia]

His chin has been gone for years

[@P4PmmaFan]

Drew H Andre has been ko'd brutally like 4 or 5 times in a row, at some point the "heavyweight" excuse doesn't work, other heavyweights don't get ko'd like him

[@james.9733]

I don't think it's his chin IMO it's the mental side. Don't get me wrong as a heavyweight he doesn't have the best ability to take a shot but he can take a good shot from Francis and not get ko'd stiff.

[@OdinAesthetic]

He's a warrior. Always brings the fight. Still going.

[@florian-k]

you can see that he never even thought about retiring here. He is shocked by the question :)

[@artvandelay2111]

I like the way Ariel add's the "spit in it" bit for extra effect ?? ........thats journalism at it's best right there !!!

[@kingme1034]

Andrei being set up again for another concussion, he doesn’t deserve this. But hey, at least we're gonna have a new star in the HW division TUIVASA vs OVEREEM next

[@joshh8430]

King Me no no no no no ahahahah not overeem next, give him struve and tybura so that he can learn to wrestle

[@TollFree999]

Tuivasa vs Ngannou or JDS next!

[@joshh8430]

TollFree999 no that’s just stupid, he needs more time to develop his ground game and tai said he might move to aka soon so he should probably fight struve next and then someone like tybura

[@thetruemanc6195]

Chris_Gullett you’re joking. Tuivasa will KO him in 1 round.

[@kingme1034]

Chris_Gullett you sound stupid now, imagine after the fight. The only way Arlovski can win this is with takedowns, but if there’s even one exchange the fight is over. There are literally 0 chances of winning for Arlovski if they get in a striking battle. A mismatch for Tuivasa would be someone like Blaydes: young, strong chin, good wrestler, very good at controlling people on the ground and solid cardio.

[@Mediocre_JT]

It'd be sick if he made a comeback, hope it happens.

[@miketang8719]

Jesse Tharp he already has been making a comeback

[@aslavwholikesbeets7290]

Andrei is such a gem

[@bossman927]

Welcome HOME!!!

[@Eagles.Fan.Since.Super.Bowl.52]

Andrew told Helwani recently that he's taking another run at the belt. I'm surprised Ariel didn't remember that in this video.

[@waalex11]

I expect Arlovski to win. His new game is too technical for Tuivasa I think.

[@ramonvargas6865]

waalex11 American Top Team made some good adjustments for him

[@ncatboiz8817]

Mate he should retire

[@razor_blade8822]

ONWARDS TO VICTORY 💪

[@RTL2L]

Where does this stupid questions about retirement are coming from? Why does Ariel feels like it is a right thing to do to ask every veteran fighter about his retirement before evry fight?

[@pokerallmylife236]

i never liked this fker too.. he is doing this job so long and still sound like a beginner

[@RTL2L]

I actually like Ariel a lot, but sometimes he asking inadequate questions. Do I have a right to put some criticism in my comment, without getting suggestions to just not watch?

[@RTL2L]

In Korea Wow, what an interesting and thoughtful conclusion )) Idiot ))) You should start with research on what a Call Out means. It usually includes some kind of counter argument. In this case, at least, try to explain why do you think that Ariel's ugly attempts to get an exclusive info on someone retirement is a legit journalism. If you don't have any real arguments, than keep your worthless mouth shut, imbecile.

[@RTL2L]

In Korea There are still no real arguments)) "You know nothing" and "You have a person problem with Ariel" - is just a pathetic nonsense. Using your judgment I can say you have a "person problem" with me )) As I've said, untill you have something interesting to post, stop embarassing yourself even more.

[@user-xb6dk4zl7l]

It's because fans are interested in how much longer he will be around for. Andrei is a big boy, he won't get butt hurt (like you) if someone asks him these questions.

[@cambo6911]

You gotta love this guy, I've been a fan for many moons 👍

[@hippo4214]

Andrei is one of my fav fighters!

[@Enrique-peralta]

Ariel 'the instigator' rogan

[@cannabruh3396]

"don't tell me" ... Ariel proceeds to tell him .... eyes of death...

[@Izzy-zf1fl]

Arlovski is such a goof in an unintential way lmao

[@HopOFFmyGlock]

Andre a damn beast. Fought a lot of scary dudes.

[@joshconnolly4770]

No one spits in the shoe

[@ProteinPapi69]

I dunno what sort of shoeys they are doing up west Sydney, cooked AF

[@thenaturalnguyen8539]

THANK YOU!

[@chrisweber6090]

I love how arlovski gives that look at Ariel when he said "is this it?" He's going out on his own terms being knocked out song stop arlovski that's for dam sure

[@Malouco]

Arlosky was getting pissed.

[@rippedreaper7279]

Andrie: I still have a few more years His nose: 😥

[@reymundoalvarado3415]

His nose is absolutely destroyed..

[@ramonvargas6865]

Reymundo Alvarado too many wars throughout the years man

[@aydan0161]

Poor ariel

[@Goobycraft]

ay den 😂

[@leegrant7188]

Really cool guy, fun to watch 👊🏻👍🏻👊🏻

[@moneysolomon1010]

Ariel is a real snake in the grass

[@roberto17281]

What an obsession this guy has with the shoey. He asks everyone and their mothers about it. Its like he's been traumatized

[@vegeta2944]

''One more time'' This man is hilarious!

[@AnthonyJ74]

This guy was outboxing Fedor easily before he got nailed. Arlovski has (or had) some great boxing skills.

[@youngmula9044]

LEGEND

[@seanjoyce404]

Where yoel interview​

[@dylanfrancis9717]

so a "stranger" spits in the shoe too? thats some weird stuff.

[@teamritson5638]

“F*** yeah”😂😂😂😂

[@Fernand00T]

Arlovski is puré class im a big fan!!!!

[@joperi21]

did anyone ever see Arlovski and Stipe Miocic in the same room together?

[@mosesparente3540]

joperi21 when was that?

[@joperi21]

Moses Parente never because they are the same person! Stipe puts on a fake beard and accent. Look into it

[@gdarippa69]

joperi21 - UFC 195

[@joperi21]

Gda Rippa I'm pretty sure that's smoke and mirrors or something

[@gdarippa69]

joperi21 - 😂

[@madtrigger6835]

They don’t spit in the shoe

[@fadingsolitude1327]

He sounds so gangsta😎😎😎 Good luck Arlovski

[@kamaruusman4394]

Gotta love Andrei

[@jpw6984]

Glad to see he's fulfilling a long time dream of his and will finally be getting Knocked out in Chicago

[@ericweeks2917]

Still my favorite fighter of all time!

[@hippo4214]

One of my favs too

[@DaveWhoa]

3:00 Andrei's not impressed.

[@RamboSambo2350]

You can feel the contempt he has for Ariel

[@sbrmilitia]

Tai by KO within the first 60 seconds

[@tonyespinoza3891]

Off by quite a bit there

[@zxcvbnmmasdfghjkl]

yooo thats Marco, from Trapoya

[@savannahp6359]

"he's a big boy" "good for him" ahaha

[@redchilihead00]

He’s obviously not gana stand toe to toe with him or even swing probably just gana wrestle him all three rounds ,but a wins a win

[@flexharder]

rofl @ the visceral disgust on arlovski's face regarding the shooey

[@Isee-in4gx]

He’s a beast.

[@taputono]

I grew up around russians theyre some tough mfs

[@DaRedeyeJedi808]

Polys are tougher

[@masrr3678]

Huge upset if he wins, probably the biggest underdog on the card

[@jbraun211]

LMFAOOO. I hate he lost that fight but damn that was hilarious

[@x_trobro_x367]

Classy guy ...

[@pokerace420]

Arlovski gonna whoop that ass

[@user-dw5wp6lr1i]

удачи !!!!!! GOOD LUCK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@thesaucewhisperer6073]

He shoulda stopped after that Sergei Karatenov KO

[@Burnlikediscoinferno]

First wonderboy now Arlovski

[@crose4761]

"fighting in his home town"

[@krey89]

this Saturday is his retirement party

[@pseudosun]

I like andre, but i'm worried. I'm rooting for him, but i also feel like it can go bad really quick. The best scenario (for me) would be for andre to beat him for the full three rounds. Break him.

[@abdulmckenzie5870]

Arlovski vs Liddell

[@tyland903]

Andre literally had me laughing out loud

[@bash2004]

“DisGGGusting, that’s disGGGusting” hahaha

[@DontNeedToKnow84]

Andrei “Teem, hows taste my pee pee?” Arlovski

[@will2296]

I love Ariel

[@chadsings6917]

I hope he wins

[@gageallison1115]

Watch him go on one more title run

[@codygoodson]

tuivasa KILLS him

[@gageallison1115]

EXXTENDO 313 probably but it would be funny

[@cambo6911]

2:21 😂

[@llongone2]

That is an epic beard! Andrei, never shave that beard.

[@jackdaniels3000]

Tai, knocks Pitbull out within 3 minutes in the first round. 👊😤

[@KootBear]

lol, Andrei is just too awesome!

[@lauraraab1980]

Cool man !!!

[@threatex]

Im from australia i can say alot of people young people do shoeys but ive never seen anyons spit in one 😂gross

[@TheMendo123]

It is disgusting, the fact that he's an athlete and can't get his weight under control is already disgusting. The shoe thing just takes it up a notch

[@ramonvargas6865]

Anton Chigurh I don't know if it's part of his culture, but I wouldn't do it thougj

[@andyg8023]

It’s an Australian thing, but not all aussies do it.

[@ItzzSyke]

Western Sydney baby 🔥

[@dailymotivation8862]

reminds me of the gladiator

[@shootar75]

No one spits into a shoe before drinking a shoey. WTF u on about?

[@ericshaun6078]

Top man and a fighter til the bitter end. Really hope he wins this fight and his chin holds up, come on Andre knock this fat Aussie the F.O

[@tonyattardo9350]

I love Arlovski, he was the king when I first got into MMA back in 2005. I love him, and I hate this match up for him, but hey I hated the Travis Browne match up and look how that went. Heavyweight muh'fuckas.

[@BOMByachiy]

Давай Андрюха!!! Россия с тобой, Насчет нокаута - рисковое дело, но вот перебить в стойке и забрать победу по очкам ты сможешь!!!! Казахстан с тобой.

[@dankedgaming617]

"No idea how he ended up number 12" Look him up. 7-0 in pro fight career. ALL round 1 KO/Stoppage.. That's how

[@gustavholmqvist5215]

DankedGaming but all his opponents has been unranked

[@rumham4766]

8-0*

[@dankedgaming617]

gustav holmqvist 7-0 PRO ALL ROUND 1 KO/STOPPAGE #12 is fair

[@dankedgaming617]

pesnat m8 7-0*

[@gustavholmqvist5215]

DankedGaming but how can you be ranked without winning against a ranked opponent

[@1punch_man]

Ariel believes he is the next Howard Cosell. He truly is a weasel.

[@MVPboppin]

Arlovski is hilarious. I like him with Ariel, perfect combo for a comedy. Swear Arlovski hates Ariel 😂

[@KeaneAve]

LOL Arlovski was so disgusted

[@BernardoWLopes]

Tai Tuivasa will now be drinking out of Arlovski's chin. Arlovski is great though, poor dude.

[@connerwilson6119]

He could play Dracula !

[@josephramirez557]

Arlovski doesn't care who it is-he's just glad to fight in his adopted hometown. Arlovski is very fast for a heavyweight so, I'll be picking him to win. Bam bam isn't going to turn into a HW version of Royce Gracie or a striking genius like Jon Jones or a clinch king like Anderson Silva so we all know he's going to try to land a big punch Mark Hunt style. Arlovski is a more highly skilled fighter than him and looks to be much more athletic so I doubt Bam Bam lands that big punch. Someone like Overeem would have a field day with Bam Bam kicking him hard from the outside and using his speed to evade him until he landed that big KO shot.

[@yaboyjonez9476]

He will be drinking out of a shoe when you wake up off the canvas. 😁😂

[@yourweakling]

yoooo my boiiii You ol thuggy cVag!

[@marcillioficino4663]

He's not necessarily a shoe-in to win.

[@MacStatic]

ya Boy Jonez I'll hold you towards your word b/c filthy shoe boy is going to be unconscious.

[@jordowhite1604]

I’d rather drink out of a shoe then a straw when his jaw is wired shut after a 2nd round knock out

[@Nitram316]

Mackenson Sparks You actually think Arlovski is going to win? Not with his chin and how hard Tai hits.

[@kingsly7147]

I'm sorry but I don't see him being the one to take away the 0 in the record.

[@thomthir7544]

I just laughed for ten minutes straight about the shoey

[@ikhan2181]

the ending was too funny
