Happy Wednesday aka On the Nose day!
Hit me with your best questions below. Everything and anything goes.
Again, try to keep them short and sweet, if possible. That increases your chances of having the question answered.
And remember: my mate Louis Gilmour is the new mod around these parts, and his job is to select the best 21 or so questions. Deadline to get them in is once the show starts. Good luck, and make ‘em count!
See you at 1 pm et / 10 am pt / 6 pm bst on the MMAFighting YouTube channel!
Gday Ariel! 👋👋
My name is Gianni from Melbourne Australia. I recently had a wonderful email exchange with Eric about whether or not I should transition to MMA journalism with my burning passion for the sport.
(He gave me some amazing advice that I will always carry with me, what a mensch)
My question to you is, can you please explain some of the trials and tribulations while studying journalism, and how life was like after graduating.
Thanks for being someone I look up to greatly much love keep up the amazing work.
Hello Ariel!
With all of the discussion about judging and open scoring in MMA, why doesn’t a promotion/league like the PFL try implementing open scoring? The PFL seems to be the most “progressive” in terms of trying new things like their season format, the smart cage, showing the strike speeds, and the ref cam. Why not try something that could revolutionize the entire sport like open scoring? I also think it would increase viewership because people would be interested in seeing how it works.
