Laissez les bon temps rouler
Happy Tuesday!
Fun week so far, right?
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: my mate Louis Gilmour is the mod around these parts, and his job is to select the best 21 or so questions. Good luck, and make ‘em count!
See you TOMORROW on the MMAFighting YouTube channel!
Granted, we’ve been hearing a lot of hate lately and I agree with you on all of it! You’re the man Ariel! But can we get a baby face promo about about why you still love MMA and the fight game?!
Hey Ariel,
The first part of this is more of a remark than a question. I was just disappointed when you read Newman's post from before the holiday about his wife being pregnant. I was hoping we’d get a "Your boys can swim!" Or a "Finally slipped one past the goalie" response from you (these are Seinfeld references in case Moderator Louis doesn’t know them).
And a question for GC about the most profitable fighter for 2022. Wouldn't Christian Echols have been the most profitable fighter of the year? With just the 1 win you'd have made more than the 3 wins from Dolidze. And that’s not even counting the fact that Echols had 3 wins in 2022, not just the 1 big upset against Pat Downey.
A final thought about the parlay pals. If you want to make it interesting and remove people, a rule could be that the total parlay number always needs to be positive. So with 4 people having a positive parlay is easy. Then with 3 it gets a little tougher and same with 2. The onus could fall on the person who’s making the last pick to get the number into the positives. Then once you’re down to one person picking by themselves, that person needs to pick an underdog.
Thanks,
Kevin from Ottawa
