In this past week alone, we've seen Conor tweet racist abuse and the n-word, allegedly spit in somebody's face, and send religious abuse to an Irish fighter who turned Muslim.
My question is an echo of Petesy's question last week: why is nobody stepping in to say something here? Are we simply seeing the excesses of substance abuse, or are we seeing the uncovering of something that's always been there that people didn't want to see?
Great shout last week when you referenced the IFL Fight League rap song. I hadn't heard that in over 15 years and it brought back some illustrious memories. I think it would give "Protect Ya Neck" a real run for its money. Here it is for anyone who hasn't seen it, and could you please play it on air so that the world can share in the joy?
I need some advice! After having followed MMA for many years I have never been to a UFC event....until now. Me and a few friends have managed to get tickets to the upcoming UFC London card. What advice can you guys give me ahead of my first UFC. I have been to some smaller bellator and pfl cards but that's about it!
Specifically for Petesy. Any chance we can borrow one of your private limo's to take us to Dublin airport ahead of UFC London?
Are you aware that the President of France Emmanuel Macron is 47 years old and married to 1st lady Brigitte Macron who is 71 years old, and that their relationship started when he was a 14 year old acting student and Brigitte was a 39 year old teacher? Does that not seem oddly troubling to you? Feel free to look into this claim as it is a biographical fact they've both admitted to.
Why is no one talking about this? Why has this blatant case of grooming by an adult towards a child been normalized by the French press? I know this is a political question, but considering you were recently in France for the Olympics, which organizers were appointed by Brigitte, I find it very important this be covered in Western media.
Hello Ariel, long time listener, first time caller.
As a Sydneysider, I’ve become used to the disappointment of the cards we get here down under. I was lucky enough to travel to Vegas for 300 to get to finally experience a stacked card (p.s. got to meet you, GC and New York Rick at the MGM and thanks for taking the time for a quick chat and a pic)
What do you believe is the main reason for so much of the international talent avoiding coming to Australia? I understand the taxes are higher, but for a ppv event would the ufc not be willing to slip some extra cash to a few big names to at least make sure they can bring a decent card? Or do you think a lot of it has to do with the long travel and time zone changes.
Hello Ariel. I suffered through a large amount of bullying and racism during my childhood, but there's been noticeable progress in the 2000s in regards to racism, along with sexism and homophobia. However, the one type of discrimination and hate that I haven't seen progress in is antisemitism. In my opinion, it's actually gotten worse. My question is this: How do we stop this regression and how do we educate people like Bryce Mitchell?
Do you have any insight on how many fights Bryce Mitchell has left on his deal. I’m wondering about this because could it possibly be that bryce has 1 or 2 fights left and the UFC isn’t cutting him to maintain the free speech image but not resign him after this.
Does the UFC hold some responsibility for the decline of McGregor’s image/reputation? - given that they did a poor job of giving him fights (and also renewing his contract) dating back to 2019 when it was obvious (thru social media) that he wanted to get back fighting regardless of opponent offered.
Getting away from the likely asked bryce mitchell and conor mcgregor questions. Do you have any update on UFC 314 in Miami. Tapplogy has pantoja vs kara france on there is that a possibility. Or have you heard anything about a volk/topuria main event or a possible Dustin last dance fight.
Just wanted to say congrats to Petesy for making the post show credits! What's the meaning behind the Swiss Army Knife title? And shoutout to Top Dog Ric!
Couldn't agree more with your take on the UFC not punishing Bryce because of Conor, and the implications with his own tweet at Khabib the next day.
Here's a conspiracy theory. We know Conor likes Bryce. We also know Conor would welcome getting cut at this point so he can sign an influencer boxing deal. I believe Conor's language towards Khabib was not just typical Conor nonsense, but a strategy to either protect another fighter he likes, or get in the boat with him and get cut, to his financial benefit. Thoughts?
Hi Ariel and crew,
In this past week alone, we've seen Conor tweet racist abuse and the n-word, allegedly spit in somebody's face, and send religious abuse to an Irish fighter who turned Muslim.
My question is an echo of Petesy's question last week: why is nobody stepping in to say something here? Are we simply seeing the excesses of substance abuse, or are we seeing the uncovering of something that's always been there that people didn't want to see?
All the best,

Cocaine has amplified his egomaniaism greatly.

Hi Ariel,
There was some rumours that KSI's first opponent before Wayne Bridge was supposed to be Nate Diaz but he pulled out. Do you know anything about this?
Thanks :)
Question for Petsey,
Why do you hate Conor so much? Is it the false allegations or his fellow countryman throwing him under the bus for praise from Khabib?
Sup Ariel any word on when Julianna and Kayla will fight?
What's the craic lads,

What’s up Ariel
Do you have any insight on how many fights Bryce Mitchell has left on his deal. I’m wondering about this because could it possibly be that bryce has 1 or 2 fights left and the UFC isn’t cutting him to maintain the free speech image but not resign him after this.
Thank you guys

Hola Ariel! Any chance of getting Chris Van Vliet on the show and/or you appearing on his podcast?
