Here’s where you can subscribe to this page. Thank you for your support. It’s Wednesday, and you know what that means. Time for another edition of “On the Nose” on today’s episode of “The MMA Hour.” This has turned into one of my favorite parts of the week, so thanks to all who have participated so far.
Hello Ariel. Do you suspect the UFC isn’t booking the Nate Diaz/Luque fight because it’s the last fight on Nate’s deal and it would free him up to box Jake Paul in 2022?
Can you explain what happened with Nick Diaz? And is there any fall out after the fight?
It seemed like he was a bit out of shape and I got the impression he got pressured to taking the fight earlier than he wanted to from what Jake Shields said? Is this true? Did he get compensated more for doing so - if not why didn’t he hold out until it suited him?
Keen to hear your thoughts and if you’ve spoken to Nick since.
Did you see that D-Rose got engaged at MSG last night? A rare ring ceremony there… Go Bulls! Real talk, what’s new with that hack podcaster that tries to come at ya? I don’t follow him so I’m out of the loop.
Heelwani doesn't fuck around these days. This is the golden age of the MMA Hour. Keep up the great work Ariel! I'm legitimately excited for Monday and Wednesday shows.
Burns is asking to fill in for Rockhold on Nov. 6th but as far as welterweights he’s left without a dance partner. Good friends with Luque. Nearly the rest of the top 10 he’s fought or is booked. Would #8 Magny or #9 Belal make any sense promotionally? Colby if he loses? I think best case scenario is Khamzat making quick or dominant work of Li in 2 weeks. Your thoughts?
What did you think of the commentary team for Wilder/Fury? It seemed to me like everyone else was more excited about what was unfolding than the guys calling the fight were. Maybe I'm accustomed with how the UFC & Showtime fights are called, but it was missing something for me.
Ariel, when Jon was arrested Dana's official response was that we need to wait to see how this plays out legally. He's also been arrested multiple other times. When Luis Pena was arrested for just the second time, the UFC said "we cannot stand for this" (paraphrasing obviously).
Can you confirm that all the people at Brendan Schaub's comedy show in Vegas the other night shared an Uber home?
I listen to all your shows and I’m ashamed to admit I don’t get it - but can someone explain all this PF Chang’s talk to me?!?!

Hot tag - anything to get off your chest before we start this song and dance? #noessays

Ariel - any update on the Luque / Diaz fight??

Does Nate Diaz find his way on an end of the year card with them filling up fast?
Not looking to create the 👃🏻 as a target for hacking my man but here goes
Q: if one of the following was hacked and leaked, which would have the greatest repercussions/ impact in the combat sports world:
Your texts, twitter DMs, Instagram DMs or email?
P.S. If anyone wants to take a shot at the Heelwani, y’all better not miss.
Hey Ariel, me vs you on Belal Mohammed’s Remember the show, I win i come in the MMa Hour, you win I shave my head and dye it blonde
But my question is what changes can WWE make to compete with AEW?
