Thanks Ariel for helping to make a difference both in encouraging people in the art of writing by doing things they may be a little uncomfortable with.That includes colorectal cancer prevention and screening and your support of Colorectal Cancer Canada and our international work in colorectal cancer awareness, education,support and advocacy.

Excited for this new start Ariel! Love Ted Park's work, but also wish there was room for the artist who did your DC and Helwani stuff as well.

But if that comes with you (or really DC) not having to shill UFC talking points, I'll take it 11 out of 10.

I’ve missed you a lot. You always got me through Monday’s as it was when my husband went back to work and I jumped in again as the solo parent to our two daughters. Your coverage of my favorite sport, MMA keeps me invested and interested and helps me keep in touch with new fighters coming on the scene. Your integrity and desire to be honest, genuine and real is so refreshing and I’m so grateful to have found you so many years ago. So excited for your next chapter and I really look forward to your unfiltered view, because even when you had to be a little filtered, you always did your best to stay true… Small example: pronunciation fighters names the way they want them pronounced, Israel Adesanya. You’re the true mensch!

My family suggest that I clarify my prior comment in reference to "love to you and yours". I am an old grandma who just loves listening to Ariel. I appreciate his love for his wife and family. Mainly, I enjoy his thoughts and input on MMA. I love watching the fights and my family just come along for the ride. ha.
