ARIEL RESPECT TO YOU ALL THE WAY FROM THE MOTHERLAND.

THE THREE KINGS ARE RULING THE UFC, DO YOU BELIEVE IF KAMARU & ISRAEL STAND WITH THERE BROTHER HEAVY WEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD FRANCIS NGANNOU AND ALSO ASK FOR MORE MONEY THIS WILL FORCE THE UFC TO PAY?

IF NOT THEY COULD HOLD OUT OR PUT THE BELTS DOWNNN.

Ariel what are your thoughts on dana whites behaviour ?, he usually doesnt make it so obvious when he's pissed but this so was very obvious and disrespectful to ngannou.

He hasn't missed post press conference in about 6 years an plus he 100% asked rogan to ask about boxing instead of jones r stipe.

Im watching since 2006 an this was up there with most scummy stuff iv ever seen the ufc do what do you think????

In a way could that have been the most impressive we’ve seen from Ngannou just from the perspective of not landing just one clean shot and getting out of there? I was even more impressed with him and his corner that he went to the wrestling after R2. The fact he could do what he did for 3 straight rounds stood out even more to me than stopping Stipe’s takedown the second fight.

Huge win for Francis but I wonder how much leverage he maintains with the lack of excitement in that fight. Probably still a lot but you know Dana is going to spin it some way
