However, you gotta put some respect on Cyborg's name. If there was a MMA mount Rushmore Cyborg would have to be on it. Please consider these three quick points.
1. If Jones and Anderson are eligible then she is eligible.
2. She started in 2005, won a title in a major organization in 2009 and then 15 years later won another title in another major organization.
3. She is 17-1 in title fights and 7-0 in title fights since her last lost. Compared that to Anderson Silva, Jose Aldo or a 5 loss Amanda Nunes (2-0 since her last loss).
You cannot tell the story of any point of Woman's MMA without mentioning Cris. Please give her the respect that she deserves.
What do you consider the best regional MMA promotions? Also, have you heard about the new Levels Fighting League? They have been making waves lately and had 4 of their champions compete on DWCS, one of which was yousri belgaroui.
Hi Ariel and the Boys in the Back. I am not giving up about mentioning the noticeable decline in KOs since the new gloves were introduced at UFC 302. I am doing some number crunching thanks to Tapology, I have reviewed the past 18 months of UFC events. In the 18 UFC events since the new gloves, there have been 215 fights, 45 KO/TKOs = an ever rising ratio of 4.77 fights/KO. In the 40 UFC events prior to the new gloves the metric is 502 fights 158 KO/TKOs = a ratio 3.17 fights/KO. This is starting to become a significant stat and other media outlets were posting similar last week...... I will keep count for you if you guys are keen.
PS: A 4 point moving average graph shows this quite nicely. I have linked it here if you want to display:
Whats your point though? UFC aren't gunna change their gloves for another 10 to 15 years. So it really doesn't matter if theirs a few less KOs since changing the gloves.
Seriously, what does Kevin Iole have on Dana White? The questions he asks and the way he challenges Dana is quite aggressive, and Dana has not banned him yet. What’s the deal?
I was incredibly excited to see you go out on your own and follow the path of media greats that came before you, but the finished product of Uncrowned.com presents differently than I expected. The media feed shared with other sites like BBC, The Independent, Chicago Tribune, and 'grab-me' ads makes it feel more like a homogeneous branch of yahoo and less like a hard-cut imprint/baby that belongs squarely to you and your team. Also makes readability, engagement, and pilfering through to read Uncrowned only material difficult when about a third of the stream beyond headlines belong to other publications. Any thoughts on this as a whole? Is the format subject to change or is this what we should expect out of Uncrowned's written media? All the respect - still love the new stories and the work of legends like Chuck, Shaheen, Drake and others really sets you levels above any competition in any case.
Hey Ariel and BITB, between all of you guys who has the strongest claim to being a sports teams biggest fan? For example is Conner's love of Georgia stronger than Ariel's love of the Washington Nationals. Jk Ariel's love of the Bills?
I’m moving to the city for the very first time in 2 months (Washington DC) I’m 25 and I’ve always wanted to move do this so I’m finally doing it, Any advice?
Hell ariel and pals! Welcome back! 2 part question what's your take on these retired fighters coming out of "retirement" and return to fighting. And lastly have you ever been invited to a Diddy party?
Hi Ariel, do you know anything about the reasoning behind why ONE moved their Atlanta event to Thailand? GC must be gutted, I'm sure he was planning to go to ONE ATL. I read on reddit that it's because ONE had partnered with StageFrontVIP, a ticket scalping company, for their Denver show so that they can say that they sold out quickly. StageFrontVIP lost a lot of money from their Denver show so they backed out of the partnership with ONE for the Atlanta show. So without StageFrontVIP giving the veil of their Atlanta show selling out quickly, they moved the show to Thailand. If this is true then this would mean that ONE actually DOESNT sell well in the states at all. Is this true Ariel? Will ONE ever be back in the states?
Ariel, so glad you and the team are back in action. While you were gone, me and some of the other members of the Uncrowned discord have created a UFC fantasy draft. I’m currently tied in first with my next fighter, Erin Blanchfield, fighting Rose on 11/2. What are you and the boys predictions for this fight? Also, rank my fantasy team from 1 - 10: Diego Lopes, JDM, Ignacio Bahomundes, Erin Blanchfield, and Joe Pyfer. Much love to you and all of the crew.
Congratulations to all of the Uncrowned crew in this new era!!! Shoutout to all the crew new and old. I especially like Helwani at the helm with an emphasis on positive feedback! Don’t forget to continue ribbing each other. Frank bailing on GC will always be hilarious.
Serious question : what is the best way to minimize my Petesy Carroll content? If I were to navigate the week, how can I best avoid crashing into the Emerald Isle?
Follow up on last weeks question. Will anyone from Uncrowned be participating at UFC pre/post fight press conferences?

Tell your boy HHH to book Craig Jones vs. Nia Jax with Gabbie at her corner. Thank me later

Nick from The Fight Disciples has been making the same point. There's a big drop off on KOs from punches
Whats your point though? UFC aren't gunna change their gloves for another 10 to 15 years. So it really doesn't matter if theirs a few less KOs since changing the gloves.
Knock-outs are more exciting. Cards that have more knock-outs are more exciting.
Idk about you but iv been liking the cards lately there's been alot of good KO's and fights lately.
Maybe there have been slightly less KOs lately but I haven't noticed.
Nore is there any evidence that its more then a coincidence at this point.
I think you should make a graph for how many KOs are caused by punches as opposed to kicks, knees, elbows and the elusive slam KO haha
Seriously, what does Kevin Iole have on Dana White? The questions he asks and the way he challenges Dana is quite aggressive, and Dana has not banned him yet. What’s the deal?

We need GC’s reaction to Conor’s moon video
Hello UnCrowned friends.. just wondering what, if any, thoughts do you have on The Cowboys owner talking down on a reporter.. much love from Chicago
Hello Ariel,
Can GC please abseil down the side of the building and appear behind you to prove the window is in fact real?
Also, when is the exclusive interview with the Iron Turtle on the BITB show?
Thumbs up to the chat and much love to you and the crew in the back 👍
