With LeBron James playing on the same team as his son, it got me thinking, who do you think in the UFC is most likely to be the first father/mother to share a card with one of their kids? Alex's son seems destined for stardom, in 303 embedded he says he's gonna fight on ufc 400, but as the window of fighting in mma is so short it's doubtful Alex will make it to that. Is there anyone else where this is a realistic possibility?
What do you think of the sport of Kabaddi? It’s basically wrestling, tag, mixed with the elimination rules of dodgeball. Disney Star is currently in the process being acquired by Reliance, which also include the Pro Kabaddi League asset. Your thoughts on them expanding in to the US Market?
I think everyone would love to hear GC (and the entire crew) breakdown the video of McGregor walking across the Switzerland bridge. Can we get a quick assessment? You guys usually deep dive into his videos and it is a spectacle to hear and watch you all break it down. We need a good laugh!
p.s. My Uncle/ Godfather is the talent show judge on the very left in Back to the Future. Great flick!
As someone who works out after work, I have come across a dilemma. I sweat a lot at work. I know I’ll sweat at the gym. I feel bad going to the gym all smelly from work, but also don’t want to shower before and after the gym. As someone who is the chief of cleanliness, how should I go about this? All the best to you and the gang!
Hey Ariel, with all the speculation about who’s headlining the sphere O’Malley/Merab, Max/Illia, Conor/Chandler. Is there any news on who might headline especially with how Chandler hinted at the Sphere date the other day? Thanks Ariel!
In light of the fact that every UFC poster is more shameful then making Jones vs. Miocic, specifically the poster for 304 makes me wish i was a Shara-Bullet-Bisping Chimera-
Did Abu Dhabi ask for a real poster for the fight night? I actually don't want to wash my face in acid after looking at it, as opposed to the standard UFC poster.
Hola Ariel! Did you happen to see the WrestleMania XL: behind the curtain special on youtube? I know we got a great main event with Cody finally winning, but I still have a hard time forgiving The Rock for actually wanting to be in that match in the first place. Do you have any insight into if it was actually The Rock’s idea to step aside once the fans complained?
Hey Ariel love the show been watching from the beginning. Your the best keep up the great work.
The other day I saw a post I think it was Dan Ige calling out Ryan Garcia in the sphere.
And I commented saying "I don't know if he heard but he's suspended"
To which some people said no that just boxing. And when I read the article about Garcia being suspended it said specifically that he is suspended from "boxing" but MMA and boxing use the same athletic commissions so I said I don't think they would allow him to fight MMA while he suspended from boxing for banned substances. Some people were quick to disagree with me and say he would be allowed to fight MMA.
Was just wondering if you had any knowledge on this matter, would Ryan Garcia be allowed to fight in MMA right now while he suspended from boxing??
I love when you answer random questions, so here is my shot…
I always hear you mention the joy of being a dad; it is truly second to none. So, with baby number two on the way, I look forward to watching the miracle happen for a second time. I also look forward to the naming process. It is something I didn’t truly experience the first time around, as my first born son is the sixth (VI). Curious to hear how you guys went about naming your kids and if it was a long, drawn out process for you or if it was seamless with not much over thinking put into it. It is a fun but tantalizing process… as I tend to not want to settle on a name, prolonging the enjoyment and continuing the search for “the perfect name”.
Will my name-sake ever leave the UFC and find an executive role that truly lets him be better than the most ingenious cleanup executive in sports business history?
Hello Mr Helwani and congrats on 42 years of life.
This question is for you, GC, Ric, Ric Mysterio, Andy, Chris and anybody in the back named Mike.
Do you believe in ghosts, and have you ever had an encounter before?
Thanks for always being a distraction from this crazy world we live in. Nothing brings me more joy in my week than tuning out life, and tuning into the MMA hour.
What are everyone's favorite movie directors? I've heard the boys talk of Christopher Nolan and Wes Anderson, but to all the crew: what's your favorite director's best film?
My favorite is Ernst Lubitsch, a Jewish German director who fled the Nazis and made wonderful romantic comedies in Hollywood the 1930s, very funny films that influenced the likes of Mel Brooks, check him out! Best modern director is Nolan ofc.

Thanks for all you do
It won’t ever happen. Age differences are just to great.
I know- you didn’t ask me either aye 🆗
Your welcome tho 🧐
I think a 40 yr old with a 20 yr old kid would be possible, but yes very unlikely to happen anytime in the foreseeable future.

What would bring you back to a UFC presser?
Hi Ariel, when you are off to the Olympics can we also expect you to stop being on the ringer MMA show :( ?
Oh no....more Petesy intro's....

Invest in a home gym, problem solved!

Same question I had man! Hopefully we get an answer
Hi,
In light of the fact that every UFC poster is more shameful then making Jones vs. Miocic, specifically the poster for 304 makes me wish i was a Shara-Bullet-Bisping Chimera-

You better have Jun Yong Park on next week or after the win so i can BE HAPPY THANKYOUUUUU!
