Ariel,

Do you know if there Is ever going to be an update or resolution with the James Krause situation? It has quite literally been crickets since the original news story. Very curious!

Thanks

My take- Darrick Minner was 26-13. James Krause was 28-8. Those are very long careers. They found out the hard way there isn't a lot of money in MMA and saw an opportunity. Without James talking so much about his 'betting coaching' they would probably get away with it.

First question from my new name as I am moving from San Diego to Whistler, BC this year. What should I know about Canada before moving to the Great White North?

Our healthcare sucks. It is universal yes, but if you have anything seriously wrong with you and need a specialist or surgery be prepared to wait months to a year.

Can we get the boys in the back to play UFC 5 during fight breaks this weekend similar to how they did for the boxing card a few weeks ago?

Hey Ariel and crew,

As a team made up of people from many different cities, now living in the NY area (excluding Ric), what are 3 things you guys miss about your hometown and 3 things you like about your new home city.

Thanks!

Hey Ariel and Crew,

First-time stacker and longtime viewer here. My question is about your relationship with the great and chad-like CHUCK Mindenhall—how did you meet him? And how much better has your life been since?

Thanks for all the laughs every day.

P.S. Shoutout to Shon Plant!

Ariel please tell me that we are getting the somewhat yearly interview with CM Punk this year. I need this like you need a Knicks championship, Like GC needs the date with Brady, Like Ric needs the cancellation of Valentines day and most importantly like Frank needs a movie with a good soundtrack. WWE is at the garden next week so I feel the cards may alien.

Congratulations on 250k subs! Yahooooo!!!

Mazal tov to everyone who is working or has worked on this channel, it is a treasure.

Special shout out to Ant Evens, he was hilarious in the chat. And to Luciana Andrade. The 10 & the 7 or Ariel and the Bad Girl was the highlight of my week.

Question- Any word on when PFL announces the first round of the Tournament?

Do the fighters know who their opponent is in less the a month? (Only one fight is on Tapology for April 3rd)

Finally, would you please have 'The McGrizzla' on when his next fight gets scheduled?

Pete C should remind you. thanks!

For the whole team,

I just started Jujitsu last month and I’m curious with you all covering the sport all week every week, how come none of you partake in any sort of mixed martial arts training?

Ariel, Would the germaphobe inside of you allow you to do such a thing rolling around barefoot and sweaty?

GC/Ric doing BJJ are the heroes in mma media we need.

Hey Ariel,

Howard Stern is a big inspiration to you, what is your take of the serial killer that came on air and confessed to his crimes while live on Howard Stern’s show?

I’ve listened to it many times and it is bone chilling. Curious what your take on that clip is and how Stern handled it. Also, how would react to something like that if you guys decided to do a “call in” segment?

Thanks GOAT

Sup Ariel,

Have you heard of the boxer Eric Crumble? If you haven't check out his outstanding record on BoxRec. Would love to see you and the crew's reaction to it. (See link below)

IOWA! DES MOINES!

I was born and raised in Iowa but left to go to college/work out in NE. I have absolutley LOVED all of the Iowa and UFC Des Moines jokes from the crew. I cant wait to see GC and the rest of yall out in Iowa in May for UFC Des Moines. I can show you all the great things the "city" and my great state has to offer. We have corn, pigs, corn, Caitlin Clark, and so much more! UFC DES MOINES MAY 3RD. SEE YALL THERE! AND SEE YOU AT THE TOP!

Ariel - Travis Scott's real name is Jacques Bermon Webster II. Is Jacques Bermon not the best heel name ever!? Thanks love the show

Hello Ariel & lads,

Do you believe a fighter like Chito Vera who tends to have trouble getting started, would benefit from a change of camp?

No knock on Jason Parillo but Chito has seemed to plateau and may need a new camp to allow him to fight to the best of the ability, the slow starts are draining his aura and hurting his Rizz

Hello Ariel and the lads,

Just needed to state that Chuck Mindenhall, Petesy Carrol, and Ben Knowles are the holy trinity of Friday combat sports banter, thank you for giving the lads a platform it is my favorite show on the web.

Shoutout THE CRAIC! (Shoutout Shaheen <Sean> as well)

In honor of the John Cena Heel Turn - Ariel, which member of the AHC, Ariel Helwani Crew, would it be most surprising if they turned heel and backstabbed you? Ric tired of carrying you all these years? GC's ego going crazy and he takes a shot at the King? Frank finally rebels past the point of no return? Petesy stomping on a Canadian Flag? If Cena can turn....anyone can

Also, is there legit heat between Ric and Frank? The BITB gets wild

Thank you all for making this crazy world a bit more fun

Ariel - History was made Feb 22 and NO ONE is talking about it! Austin Vanderford went down in history as the first UFC fighter to show his junk on OnlyFans and get a W in the Octagon. Respect.

Q- Call me a party pooper but these assaults at the press conferences are not a good thing at all. As a competitor you should feel safe in that environment not afraid of being assaulted. These are getting out of hand and I wouldn't blame Danis or others for pressing charges. It's bullshit. Thoughts? Thank you love the show.
