Sup Ariel (Matt Mo impression)

I have a simple question. Do you personally know who the person is that runs the "Caposa" account on X? I'm not asking to reveal that information. But I'm just fascinated by the mysterious nature of that account. More mysterious than Frank I have to say.

Sup Ariel,

I know Bryce said some idiotic things, but given the fact that he has repeatedly apologized and has owned up, would you ever consider having him back on the show? I genuinely don't believe he had ill will or hateful intentions when he said what he said, and I doubt he will just try and flaunt his guns again.

I know not the same, but the recent moment you had with Mokaev really warmed my heart and showed that growth and understanding is possible. Would love to see the same with Bryce!

Crew,

What is the team’s overall sentiment on this Garry v Praetes main event this weekend? I feel like Ian can go from biggest heel to most beloved fighter with a short notice win here. While on the other hand, a loss will put him at two losses in a row… GC must be foaming at the mouth for this one!

Hey AH,

Did you see what Mr Paul Feldor had to say about you. He seemed pretty fired up about you in this clip. Always thought Paul Feldor was above all of that stuff. How did you feel about what he said?

He seemed to be on the fence but Bisbing was begging him. Hope Ariel addresses this one, curious his thoughts.

Ariel,

Would love your take!

Did you see McGregor smoking a cigar ringside at BKFC screaming at the fighters while he has someone film him. Dave’s face next to him looks displeased as if he’s lost complete control of his baby (bkfc). What is your take on him and being the face of this company? He looks like he is acting for a movie scene, like he is trying way too hard to be a mob boss or something. Big McGregor fan but hard to believe this is the same Mcgregor.

Hey Ariel and the Crew,

What’s your take on this funny video making rounds about misquoting Mighty Mouse, lol 🐭

Yoel Romero’s Minnie Mouse & Ilia Topuria’s Micky Mouse. Hilarious 😂

Much love 🫶

Hi Ariel,

Do you get the sense that Jon may have never intended to fight Tom, and that the $30M figure was thrown out expecting the UFC wouldn’t come close—giving him a built-in excuse not to move forward with the fight? Almost like the UFC has “called his bluff”…

Hello Ariel and retinue,

Suppose Ariel runs a grocery store. Ric, GC, Frank & Petesy are the only employees. Everyone gets 1 job. Who is doing what?

1. Cashiering

2. Stocking shelves in the freezer/cooler section

3. Stocking shelves in the dry grocery section

4. Customer service desk

5. Door greeter

Note: Ariel has to work one of these jobs and cannot sit in his managers office all day.

Hola Ariel! If I understood Dwayne’s interview correctly from the Pat Mcafee show Tuesday, he decided after elimination chamber that he shouldn’t be involved in the Cena Cody program. What?!?! After he already made himself involved for no reason?!! I’m beyond disappointed in all of this. I asked you recently if the WWE had a Rock problem and you said no, but has your mind changed?

Hi Ariel, question for you.

I've always been curious about this topic. It seems like you're a very "conservative" guy in a lot of areas of your life and your love of Israel seems to fit in that realm as well. Since most of the MMA journalists/media are on the "left" so to speak. How do you navigate that? Have you ever had a rift because you are more "conservative" leaning?

Comparing to the Trump- and Gun-loving, anti vaccine MMA world Ariel doesn't seem conservative.

A truly unnecessary reply to my question. I purposely didn't put "right" for that reason. I said "conservative" Chill out with that Trump/Gun/Vaccine talk, most people don't talk like that. Ariel has said before that he is more conservative. So, I was curious how he navigates that world when a lot of his peers worldview is opposite of his.

Question for GOAT CONNER,

A few quick over/under for you:

Islam’s remaining fights at LW +/- 1.5

Poatan’s remaining fights at LHW +/- 2

The fighting nerds combined belts when it’s all said and done +/- 2.5

It’s tough.

Howdy Ariel,

I follow everything the Bad Guy puts out, even if he’s batting sub .200. His piece yesterday on Jones/Aspinall breaks the news that Jones will wait till November to fight and in the meantime, Aspinall will fight Ciryl Gane.

Any truth to this?

If so, why would the ufc risk Gane winning and presumably becoming the new #1 contender, in light of how he failed to show up in his bout with Jones?

Doesn’t contesting the interim belt multiple times during the reign of a healthy “undisputed” champ devalue the undisputed strap?

Finally, what are the odds I’m just a mark for the American Gangster’s latest troll job and we do get the Jones/Aspinall fight next?

Thanks for getting me through the week!

Hello Ariel- any insight into if John Cena actually wanted to break the record as a heel? To me, if The Rock had any influence over what John really wanted, that’s the biggest problem that comes from all of what went down.

This question is for New York Ric. Did I hear you correctly that you said you married your first girlfriend? If so, how did you know she was best for you, the one? How did you handle the idea of one needs to date a lot of people to find the one? That never bothered you?

Last week I requested on the nose segment as separate youtube videos and you said I was lazy and just click time stamps. A lot of your times your on the nose starts in beginning of show and end of show and there is only one time stamp. Also, I looked at your MMA hour view counts, and your average on the nose video produced 50-100k view per video. It’s honestly your best content and I don’t know why you don’t market it more. Anyway, wish you the best.

For example, today if I click on time stamp, it will be two on the nose questions and then directly into an interview.
