Sup Ariel,

Last night my girlfriend and I went to the movies to watch Nosferatu. Upon entering the theater we noticed another couple sitting in our designated seats (top middle row). There wasn't anyone else in the theater so I didn't make a big deal and we simply sat somewhere else.

The movie starts and the same couple continue to yap out loud constantly.. It went on for close to 40 minutes before we got fed up. I wanted to scream at them to shut the hell up but because it was only just us in the theater it would have made it extremely awkward.

As the yapping continued we finally had enough and I went and told the manager, who quickly came in with another staffer to tell the couple to be quiet. During this time I went to the washroom to avoid the whole thing as it was quite obvious I was the one who reported to them. Thankfully they didn't say one peep for the rest of the movie after this.

My question is being a socially awkward guy like yourself how would you have handled the situation? And for the crew have any of you ever had to complain in a movie like that before?

Thanks for all you do.

Hate cinema chatters. If you want to go for chat go to a restaurant. Spoiled countless films for me. I have done the same and got a manager or staff member

Hey ariel,

Just wanted to push back on something you said last week if you dont mind. You said that Magomed Ankalaev is not the type to for takedowns and you used misleading stats. for example against Jan you said he attempted 2 takedowns while landed 2 takedowns but attempted 10.This shows that if he feels trouble with alex he will shoot like he did with Jan. Just wanted to point out.

Hi Ariel! Hope you are doing well.

Man what a great fight between Usman and Paul last weekend. Do you think PFL should do the rematch next, Usman made it seem like he wanted Paul to win more. Not sure i agree with that.

Also side note, I saw after the fight a lot of people were replying to one of your tweets asking you to report on what Khabib said in the cage? What did he say and why are people so invested in you reporting that, genuinely curious.

Thanks,

Lex

Sup Ariel - tomorrow I move country to start my first job out of uni. Witb this there's obviously nerves, so, Ariel, as someone who's moved to a foreign country what unique tips do you have?

Hey uncrowned crew, question for all you. What's a heartbreaking trade from your favorite sports teams that really hurt you?

Hey Ariel,

What personality do you and the guys find easier to root for? The guy who always seems himself as the underdog with a chip on his shoulder (Dustin, GSP, DC) or the guy who walks into every fight with all the confidence in the world (Conor, Chael, Ilia)

Thanks,

Connor

Happy Mid-Week AH and Crew!

Any update or teasers for some of the additional Nose-It-All perks? Looking through the list, it looks like there are zoom meetings, special segments to participate and vote on, and merchandise discounts to be had. Thanks for the endless weekly entertainment and much love to the whole crew. Thumbs up to the Chat!

-Trin.

Ariel - Poirier is hinting a fight is close...who do you think it will be for his final dance? Side Question - are any of you going to the Rumble this weekend? If so I'd love to buy you guys a beer as a thank you for all the hard work and content you all put out. I'll be the one in the HALIBURTON 3:17 shirt! GO PACERS! Big fan of all of you....even you Ric. Thank you.

Hello Ariel and the fellas!

It’s the Royal Rumble on Saturday, if the current UFC Roster had a Royal Rumble, who would win? Would we get a Rey Mysterio-esque iron man performance from Merab? Or maybe a Kane-like 12 man elimination run from Tom Aspinall? My pick would be Oban Elliott thanks to some interference from Uncle Chael.

Love the show, gets me through boring days at my desk, up the mags!

Hey guys whats your thoughts on the CSAC weight charts for the last ppv? specifically on Jiri's day of fight weigh-in, only gaining back 3.7 pounds just 2% body weight from official weigh-in. when Jiri first mentioned a possible move to Middle on your show after losing to Pereira i was skeptical, but i thought if Pereira did it Jiri probably could to. but after seeing this it seem much more plausible now.

Sup gang, you guys are the best.

Sime quick fire True of false questions for the whole crew to answer.

-there will be atleast two Champ vs Champ fights in 2025 (yes interim champs count)

-with no less then seven!! former champs in the division plus Merab, that include the BW and FW GOATs. 135 is the most stacked Division in the UFC.

-despite the setback Arman still ends up being the next fighter to get a lightweight title shot.

-Conor has more court cases then Khamzat has fights this year

-we end the year without an Official retirement from Dustin Porier

Fransics Nganouu's next 3 fights are in 3 different promotions

Ariel, what are your thoughts on the main card for ufc 312? I’m from Australia, I watch every event all year round from the first early prelim, and even I don’t know who 3 people fighting on this main card are. Do you think on paper this is the worst ppv offering there’s been in recent memory? If not do any others come to mind for you or the crew?

Also pls quickly shoutout your biggest listener in Perth, Peter, who’s going to lose his shit hearing you say his name

Dear ArieL HeLwani,

Commiserations always, your Bills made it way farther than my Raiders. Shoutout to them!!

GFL has a nice little niche as a retirement home for UFC fighters. All the heroes long past their prime have a place to be relevant and make some dollars. What are the keys to victory for whomever is behind this shadowy organization?

Also shoutout to you for believing in GC and NY Ric! Tossed them birdies out of the nest and look at these boys go!! Would you ever consider an On The Nose section for them? What would it be called? Aks the Boyz? Boys in the Back Clapback??

Thanks for all you do, God bless.
