Thanks for your continued support of this page. Here’s where you can subscribe. Happy Wednesday! Time for another edition of “On the Nose” on today’s episode of “The MMA Hour.” This has turned into one of my favorite segments of the week, so thanks to all who have participated so far.
First off thank you Mama Nose for blessing us with your appearance on The Ringer MMA Show last week!
The legendary Cris Cyborg makes another walk into the cage this weekend at Bellator 271 as she looks to successfully defend her featherweight belt.
Cyborg x Rousey is a dream fight we as MMA fans never got to see play out. At the peak of both woman’s careers, who do you see winning a 5 round catch weight (140 lbs) fight?
Where does Trevor Wittman’s night at 268 stand among all time coaching performances? 3 fighters in the main event, 2 for belts, one basically a #1 contender bout, all come out as winners.
With the gridlock in the 170# division caused by Usman’s dominance do you think this adds more validity to the argument for 165 and 175 pound divisions?
What do you think of Nate vs Conor 3 being a Boxing Match? Either under the UFC Banner or after Nate's last UFC fight. Boxing could be a better option with Conor's compromised Leg. And they could both stick it to Jake Paul in the Process.
Do you think there is any truth to Colby's "juiceman" claims for Usman? He does have a crazy pace and looks jacked but maybe that's just decades of hard work.
Considering the LW division at the moment with DP vs olivera and gaethe as the #1 contender spot. What kind of performance does Beneil Dariush need to be the #1 contender and with whom Islam M, Michael chandler, RDA? Where is the love for #4 ranked LW let's not forget that the current Champ beat Ferguson for a title shot? Islam can ✋wait.
ARIEL, Colby claims he walks around at 180lbs. Similar to Dustin right. Is a move to 155lbs Colbys quickest route back to a title fight? If Poirier or Gaethje wins the belt, the rivalry with Colby is already there. If neither is champ Colby would No1 with a win vs either guy.

I have an idea, 185: Khamzat vs Alex Pereira. Both relatively new, both potential stars. I think Alex's BJJ would be his weakness but standing up, oooooeeee!
Ariel, would you be opposed to open scoring becoming like the NFLs Challenge Flag? Can only be used in between rounds. Each corner gets one open scoring opportunity throughout the fight. This would mostly benefit 5 round fights I believe because with 3 round fights each corner would use it during the end of the second round. With every 5 round fight they could potentially use it prior to champions rounds.
I want to know what Thug Nose things about it! Thanks for all your amazing interviews and guest on the shows it keeps me going everyday when I’m delivering the mail!
You talk a lot about loyalty and how important it is to you. Where does that come from? Who taught you about the value of being loyal?

When will the Housecat make an appearance on the MMA Hour? (Unannounced I’m sure)

Where was Herb Dean on the weekend? Who is the best current mma ref past and present. Also best judge?

My guy, can breakingT do a limited run of the Heelwani shirt but the design is updated reflects the damage suffered to the mask?
Kind of my favourite thing about the mask gimmick now.
We been out here, those 10-7s don’t come for free. IYKYK
Do you think I’m professional combat sports fans shouldn’t hear what fighters say to say to each other to keep the heat?
SHAHT AHT ARIEL!! Can we get the All time leader in tackles AJ HAWK!! for the green bay packers on the Helwani Show???
