Was GFL the equivalent of the Fyre Festival? Just a complete and utter scam? What was the point or his end goal of this entire thing? Do you have any insider information for us? Was it always a hoax or did he truly have intentions to put this thing on?
I asked last week about a segment where you breakdown videos as you did with the Caleb plant clip and others. I mentioned the video of McGregor walking across the highest bridge and you said you would do it (as the team vouched for how funny it is). Can we get gc to quickly pull it up so you can see it live on air? His commentary is top tier and we would all love to get your reaction live!
As a superstitious person yourself, why would you kiss the trophy? That simple smooch may have created a domino effect which may have lead to a generational curse. I was watching that episode in Honolulu and when I saw that fateful lip interaction, I knew it was over for you and the knicks. You must repent.
What is your fight of the year so far in 2025? Personally I can’t shake how the Eubank/ Benn fight made me feel while watching in my San Diego resort balcony. The walk outs alone were pure cinema. Both walk out songs gave me the chills and the fight was action from opening bell to the end. Any other contenders that hold a candle to that fight?
I still don’t understand why you refuse to answer the vaccination question? Is it that big of a deal? We just want to hear your opinion. I stress OPINION. You give your opinion on everything else and with young kids I want to know if that is something that worried you or if you trust the vaccination process?
As Howard Stern is a big inspiration to you, what is your take on the proclaimed serial killer that came on air and confessed to his crimes while live on Howard Stern’s show? Curious what your take on that clip is and how Stern handled it. Also, how would gc and ric react if someone did this on their “call in” segment.
This is meant to be a serious question with no joke insinuation.
Have any of you heard about breast implants causing major, rare health complications? It is a very common thing. Some bodies react terribly to them, causing unexplainable illnesses. I personally know someone that had skin issues for years with no explanation. After getting the implants removed, the issues were resolved. Maycee had hers done and since has had undiagnosed health complications. I don’t know how nobody is talking about this or how she isn’t considering this herself. Pretty high chance that is the root of her issues. Hope she’s okay.
Ever since Jon Jones' recent stretch of Tom-foolery, I've been thinking he's making the UFC look pretty weak.
Do you think he's actually opening the door for other fighters to have more leverage in negotiations?
When a champion gets called to fight, they know the UFC doesn’t have many backup options for that spot. It only makes sense for them to ask for better terms.
If your answer is, “They can just strip them,” consider how it looks if they can't make champs step in or have to replace them with last-minute backups.
Sure, there's a science to it, and managers need to know how to push. But overall, do you think Jon Jones is helping fighters gain more negotiating power in the long run?
secondly, I loved the Tim Simpson sit-down, have you considered having Oren Hodak on the show? more coverage of power players willing to talk about MMA would be awesome.
I heard you mention the Kyle Snyder case the other day, where Kyle who is a decorated collegiate wrestler was busted paying for sex by Ohio police pretending to be a prostitute (isn't that entrapment?)
I find it odd you live in a country where 17 year old's can go to war and blow people up with rocket launchers, but paying for sex between 2 consenting adults is a crime?..
I wanted to hear you and the gang's opinions on this case. Imagine the shame and embarassment Kyle must be feeling right now. Meanwhile in countries like Japan sex work is the norm and not taboo at all, there are "Soaplands" on every corner.
Growing up in Montreal like yourself I'm sure you know people who have visited the famous red light district there. The real crime to me here is that police resources are being wasted on this nonsense instead of going after real criminals.
I think that PD needs to be investigated, it did seem like entrapment. Whether it’s a good or bad law tho, it’s still a law. And breaking it comes with consequences.
Like y’all, I’m from God’s country, the South. Without fail, this time of year, the wild hogs ransack everyone’s yards in my area. Did y’all ever experience these wild hog invasions and were y’all ever a part of - to put it gently - population control of these pests?
Can I get a shoutout for my jiujitsu coach, and founder of Oranday Bros Jiu Jitsu in southeast Texas?
Damion the Orangutan Oranday is a name the mma world will soon be familiar with. He’s already 6-1 in Fury FC, the promotion that produced Alex Morono, Diego Lopes, and more.
All his wins have come via first round sub. He fights next on July 18 in NOLA on the Fury 106 card.
On top of being a world class bjj and mma athlete, he’s also a world class husband, dad, friend, and coach.
With half the year gone, I was going to ask what are your favorite moments from uncrowned this year.
Trying to come up with my examples, I realized it's an impossible task, there was so so much it's really crazy, so I'll just congratulate you and the team for a phenomenal job, It must be hard at times, but uncrowned has been amazing so far, so thank you to all the team.
I will say from this year my most memorable moment was the Jim Lampley interview & all time moment was HelwaniVision- the only time i ever spent money to watch MMA.
Question:
About your involvement with IFW- when is Dana announcing the Uncrowned x UFC X collab?
Ariel, now that ufc noche is a fight night, where do you think the September ppv will be held (ufc320)?
After JDMs win there’s been a little bit of talk about bringing a ppv to Aus, Perth in particular. What do you think the chances are of ufc320 being in Perth?
Hola Ariel! I don’t want to be a hater but I’m having trouble enjoying what’s going on with John Cena. He really wanted to end his career like this? Does anyone really want to see him tag with Logan Paul for one of his final remaining matches?

“Who gets higher than the Mac Daddy!”
If he can spend 2 hours talking to Cora Whocares, let us get a fun, lighthearted Mcgregor reaction for old times!
Let me ask you something…
As a superstitious person yourself, why would you kiss the trophy? That simple smooch may have created a domino effect which may have lead to a generational curse. I was watching that episode in Honolulu and when I saw that fateful lip interaction, I knew it was over for you and the knicks. You must repent.
Peace and love, peace and love.
Hey team,
Quick fun one for each of you…

NY Ric made an appearance on submission radio where they gave their top 3 basketball movies. What are yours Ariel? Does 8 crazy nights count?😆

It’s tough.

Love and appreciate you all very much
Assalamalaikum Ariel and Team.
A few true or false questions.
True or false, if Chimaev beats DDP he will be a top 3 middleweight of all time.
True or false, if Charles beats Topuria, he rematches Arman and Islam stays at 170 (win or lose).
True or false, if Jack Della beats Islam, he will beat the other top 5 contenders in welterweight.
True or false, if Pantoja beats KKF, he will move up to face Merab.
True or false, if Suga beats Merab this weekend, he still moves up to featherweight.
True or false, Adesanya never fights for gold again.
Shoutout to the BITB and Petesy
