Hallo Guys

Just a small recommendation for Frank, we definitely need :

- I can’t let you get close (chael)

- ⁠who the fook is that guy ? (Conor)

- ⁠hold on I’m talking brother (Tony)

- ⁠shut up before I anklepick you (Tony)

- ⁠are you intoxicated ? (Gsp)

Just some thoughts but I think these would be hilarious

Keep on the great work guys and greetings from Germany

Hey fellas,

I’ll preface this by saying I am a huge GSP fan.

On Monday Ariel said if Jon doesn’t fight Tom it will be a poor reflection on his legacy at HW. But is this not similar to GSP at MW where he fought Bisping and then retired before fighting any other MW contenders? And yet GSP winning the MW strap is a huge asset to his legacy. Why the inconsistency?

Thanks!

Fellas,

My boy Mo Mokaev was let go this week whilst being 7-0 in the UFC, possibly 1 fight away from the title shot and with a respectable ranking next to his name. Is he bad for the company? You can argue he sold that fight better than most on the card, was he talking to another organisation under contract? Aren't you allowed to shop around for your best deal? Hit me back, just to chat, your biggest fan, this is Stan

I’d be interested to know what those conversations between Tim Simpson and the UFC looked like. I wonder if he had any bargaining power since he manages some of the sport’s biggest stars.

They've already come out and said there were no negotiations with anyone else.

I do feel gutted for him. Though fighting style and out of cage antics sound like they both played a part in his release.

Hey Rick

Hey GC

In a crazy turn of events… did Leon ‘Nate Diaz’ Belal in the last seconds of his championship loss?? Is there a percentage of Leon fans who would say ‘’Leon would have won if it went two more rounds?’’

ALSO I bought a 2k ticket to UFC Noche back in June; now it is going for 3.8k on StubHub!! How much of a jerkhole move to the community is it to resell to the highest bidder . What would you do?

What would be your biggest regret? Turning down a 1.8k profit or missing out on a (likely) once-in-a-lifetime experience?

Sporting events in my experience are such a lottery as it depends on the outcome of the teams or in this instance fighters performing well to make the whole thing enjoyable.

I'm a brit - so love UFC304 but still went to bed miserable after Leon's loss

Not a jerkhole move. Not ur fault UFC is outpricing themselves

GC! New York Ric! Mysterious Frank! Thanks for keeping the show alive while Heelwani tries to be an Olympian! Quick wish: an app that has Frank’s sound board on it! I’d love to “WHO THE FUCK IS WE” someone! Also have any of you 3 ever done any MMA training and how was it?

Ric has done BJJ and Ariel does boxing.

G’Day team, although this will (unfortunately) never happen, what are 3 trades you would like to see between PFL/Bellator and the UFC that would benefit both organisations?

Expand full comment

First time, long time. My question is for Ric. I'm sure you're looking forward to The Challenge 40 Eras as much as I am. Michelle Waterson was on Champs vs All Stars. Which UFC fighters would you like to see on The Challenge if they do another season like that? Thank you to the entire MMA Hour team for all the work you've put into the countless hours I've watched/listened to over the years.

what is up ric, gc, frank and maybe ariel if your here

Let’s talk some UFC Noche at the sphere. I feel like they could have made the card so much better than it is. There is a couple really good prospects on the card but besides that there is only 3 fights I care about. I would have been satisfied if they kept fluffy vs michel pereira but they didn’t. Do you guys feel the same way and would you advise people to spend the large amounts of money to watch a once in a lifetime event in the sphere but not the best fights. Thank you guys

I know Ric & GC probably aren't watching WWE as much as Helwani, but do you guys have any SummerSlam wishes or predictions?

Expand full comment

Hi Rick gc question for both of you have you both ever travelled together to watch a ufc live event? If so where and how was it and if not when’s it happening?

Sup guys,

What are your go-to healthy and cheat meals?

P.S. Frankie aka grandiddy can you confirm whataburger is better than In N Out?

Expand full comment

David Lynch would have some strong words to say about Frank's terrible take on the Wizard of Oz.

Frank do you use the letterbox app for logging your film viewing? If so what's your handle?
