Happy Tuesday!
It’s that time of the week again.
Hit me with your best questions below.
As always, everything and anything goes. I’ll answer ‘em on Wednesday’s show.
Again, try to keep them short and sweet, if possible. That increases your chances of having the question answered.
And remember: the prolific Mysterious Frank has volunteered to be the mod around these parts. He has had a great debut, so let’s keep the vibes rolling.
Good luck, and make ‘em count!
See you TOMORROW on the MMAFightingYouTube channel!
Hey Ariel,
Gotta ask about the Pat McAfee paying Aaron Rodgers to appear on his show.
He made a good point about Rodgers coming on as a guest greatly helping him build a platform, and he thought it was only fair to repay him for that.
I would like to know:
1. Your general thoughts on the situation and McAfee’s rationale.
2. If his standards should be different because he’s not truly a journalist.
3. If you feel betrayed because he told you he did not pay people to come on when you had asked him (after the Paddy thing was happening in private)
Thank you Frank for not being afraid to ask Ariel the tough questions and Ariel for taking them on. :)

Ariel - Why do you think the UFC doesn't allow fighters to make extravagant/unique entrances? Obviously the Pyro and whatnot would add on to their costs but the spectacle would be absolutely worth it! These fighters are missing out on a huge opportunity to connect with the crowd/fans. Also, why don't many fighters have a "theme song" or a song that is synonymous with them. I can think of only a few that do. Thanks, love all the work you and the crew put in for us. Much appreciated.
