Hi Ariel, don’t know if you remember me from many moons ago when you had Javier in your team, I was the first caller on your mma hour show back in 1856 it was that week after the UFC EVENT where Anderson Silva manage to beat Chael Sonnen in the last round in their fifth match and you asked the callers to ask about this fight specifically.
I woke up at 6am calling from
Australia and I missed your prep talk so instead I had other plans, I ended up asking about who the top 3 Aussie fighters are in UFC at that stage … and you were bitterly let down from me, I just wanted to say sorry for that - I apologies mate.
Now I got that out of the way, let me get to the question - do you know what day it is today 8th September 2021 ?
It is national Pardon day, so please pardon me for that phone call many many years ago on your mma hour show.
Did you know It’s also national quiet day, so you had actually celebrated that on Monday for not having show on.
And did you know it’s also national Actors day, time to pay respect to all our actors out there that keeps us entertained.
And most importantly it’s national Iguana day …. Let’s pay homage to all the iguanas on earth …
My second real question is …. What’s happened to your Mazda 6 I saw on your first YouTube video?
And my last question before i sign off is would you be interested in a boxing match with Joe Rogan to settle the misunderstanding? Imagine the money that could be made, that could goto charity too…
Hopefully you have read this out on your show mate, thank you so much . Your truest fan and follower from Cairns, Australia.
If Dana white decided to make a 165 pound division tomorrow, which two realistic fighters would you schedule for the vacant title bout? Assume the UFC wanted a new champion (so no current champions could be involved).
Question is a simple one: Whittaker, Adesanya - who ya got?
Suggestion: the Pimblett bandwagon is in motion. I am onboard, I feel like you are too. Surely the name needs to be: THE PADDYWAGON. Or maybe the Badwagon. Keen to get your thoughts
With the news of Darren Till's ACL tear going into the fight and Conor claiming his issues going into the fight, can you explain what doctors actually do in their pre-fight checks? How do these fighters clear these?
Hi Ariel, when looking at what’s next for Darren Till, how far of a step back in competition do you think he should take? I’ve seen many people list Uriah Hall as a potential opponent. Personally, I’d like to see him take an ever further step down and really get his mojo back. Fight someone like GM3 first, then a ranked opponent like Uriah Hall. Get a much needed win before re-entering the top 10 of the division.
You have mentioned your one regret in your career several times since you started hosting the MMA hour again. For some of us that don’t know exactly what happened with Fox and the UFC could you elaborate on that situation for our understanding.
A two-parter for ya, Ariel. 1) What is something you think most fighters nowadays are doing particularly well? 2) Is there something you think most fighters need to improve on?
Btw - that was a tulumptuos burn you gave AJ Agazarm and I’m here for it.

Kola from MMA GOLD
Ariel it was a tongue in cheek joke 1856 many moons ago
If Dana white decided to make a 165 pound division tomorrow, which two realistic fighters would you schedule for the vacant title bout? Assume the UFC wanted a new champion (so no current champions could be involved).
Which Englishman is next to achieve UFC gold in your opinion: Edwards, Allen, Aspinal, Pimblett or Till?
Any idea when we’ll see Kron Gracie fighting again? His fight against Swanson showed he had a lot to work on, but it’s been almost two years!
aye, much love (hello from Australia).
Are you still playing around with the Twitter spaces thing? They were a good crack up between prelims an main card.
p.s congrats on the new weatherman job.
Why you no say the first two words 🤣 was trying to catch you off guard.
Also. Was meant to say in between prelims AND main card it was a good thing to listen to. Anyway. Peace x
One question, and one suggestion.
Question is a simple one: Whittaker, Adesanya - who ya got?
Suggestion: the Pimblett bandwagon is in motion. I am onboard, I feel like you are too. Surely the name needs to be: THE PADDYWAGON. Or maybe the Badwagon. Keen to get your thoughts
Any word on Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal's next opponents? Feels like we should be hearing about their next fights fairly soon.
And is UFC 269 supposed to take place in Las Vegas? There seems to be some hesitation to officially announce the location.
With the news of Darren Till's ACL tear going into the fight and Conor claiming his issues going into the fight, can you explain what doctors actually do in their pre-fight checks? How do these fighters clear these?
Thoughts on all the AEW stuff? All Out was pretty nuts. Did you watch?

When will you attend a UFC fight to work again? Also, has a fighter ever asked you to walk to the ring with them?
Do you have a go to fight to show your friends or family who are not fans of MMA but are interested?
When is the next ufc event you’ll be covering in person and will 3pac be on the ground as well? Also, any update on potential mma beat coming back?

Better UFC debut, Paddy or Connor?
