28:00 ✊
If Ariel went through Birmingham to get to Cardiff from London he pretty much doubled the length of his trip!
I’ve never met Brenden S. but I have met Ariel and he’s a real one. I’ve watched his whole career basically as far as MMA goes and he has been nothing but consistent and thorough. He’s a true journalist and he’s always brought us the highest level of content and been a place where u go to get real MMA news etc. He should be proud of all he’s build and all he’s done and should protect it.
victim Ariel
Need to get shaub and Paddy on for a double execution 🤣🤣
Love you Ariel but if we want to talk about truth why didn't you keep Adesanya accountable when he was straight up LYING about a peroneal nerve injury which he clearly didn't have?
Schaub is easily the most unlikable dude out there. I quit watching his show because he would literally comment on fights, but then also admit he didn’t even watch them. His takes were horrendous. I hope Ariel keeps bashing him until both their careers are over. That being said, Ariel needs to quit saying “I don’t care if you don’t like my journalism, etc”…. Because you do care. You care a lot. Just say, “if someone talks about me, you’re damn right I’m going to say something back”. It’s ok to be petty, just admit it. Lol
Ariel, you have to man up and let this nonsense go. Let your work speak for you!!! Paddy who? Brandon who? You are better than what you are giving us. Let it goooooooooooooo!
Ariel lives in Brendan's head rent free 😂
Your company makes money off your interviews and that’s reflected in your contract ….. maybe your company should be paying for the interviews (if at all)
I couldn't believe it when I heard about Rockstars charging for meet upstairs with them. Seems that's where this mindset started.
Haha all over the gaff, love it
26:45 is Ariel talking about the Flagrant pod with Andrew Schulz and Akaash Singh?
All over the gaff… brilliant 👏 😂
Wait, what, you drove through Birmingham on your way from London to Cardiff. That ain't right lol 😂
As he should.
Crying over Schaub's comments, and how he's taking pot shots
Has made a career out of taking pot shots at people
Carries on a 10 minute rant of pot shots on Schaub, whom I don't like btw…
Nobody's safe 00:20:20
The longest yard
wartime CEO back in action
Paddy the
They need to stop giving Biden candy
Your friendly banter with rampage back in the vs days was good 😂 still watch those back. You’re awesome dude and I’ll always be a fan or your work!
Here lies Paddy Pimblett, Dana white, and Brendan Schaub. Cause of death: Ethered Nas style by Mr. Ariel Helwani.
