Man I was excited for Lima/MVP, Holland/Daukas and Santos/Walker this weekend and they all were underwhelming. Even the Niko price fight went the distance wtf.

Makes no sense as to why These two stooges were in the main event over Kevin Holland.

Just watched the Gary Goodridge crucifix KO…. Those early days were crazy even though that was a legal blow in today’s fights too

Hey Ariel, what do you think of these reaction cams with DC, Joe, etc.? It feels a lot like the "He got jacked up" segments on ESPN football coverage. They aren't going to age well and reflect poorly on the broadcast/ESPN/UFC.

Not sure which part of "If you take him down you'll finish him' Solecki didn't comprehend.

Accidentally bet $2000 on Rosa, thank God she pulled through

Has anyone's retirement fight gone good? I feel like every time we see these retirement fights they go horrible

Ariel, do you think Paiva is a good match for Sean O'Malley? Lot of people saying he's a can but I feel like he's a formidable opponent.

Expand full comment

Ariel, you’re picking Walker to win but do you see him getting the finish? Santos is as tough as they come

Do you know what the ranked fighter, Rosa, is in the blue corner, while the unranked fighter is in red?

Have you seen anything more impressive this year than Tony Ferg’s no tap in round 1 vs Oliveira?

Note: both those guys need to get on the show ASAP!

Ariel how do you see Daukus & Holland playing out? I hope we get to see how Hollands wrestling is, I am guessing with Daukus we will get to see that for sure! I have Daukus by submission

That finish was super impressive. What work in the clinch by Malarkey

Ariel, do you think Santos will grant Jonny Walker's wish by making him "comfortable" and taking him to the depths of hell?

Gotta give you credit for that interview, and all your interviews. I can't get enough of your work, you are an inspiration!

Price Oliveira who you got ?

Expand full comment

The UFC is really pushing to make sports gambling a large part of their business. We went from no odds, to opening odds for each fighter, and now round-by-round odds as they change mid fight.

I like Casey O’Neil. Think she could be a player. Also Cirkunov at 185 is tasty

New week same substack 💪🏾 Thanks Ariel

But, if I had to choose, I pick Santos

Hard to call...2 unpredictable fighters, either is capable of winning, depending which version of fighter shows up.

This fight ain't going the distance

Expand full comment

I don’t like Santos’ chances here, after blowing out his legs vs Jones he hasn’t looked explosive at all and that was his best attribute with his power

Expand full comment

Santos by violence

Do you think UFC is gonna change anything with weight cuts so we don’t see another situation like Aspen Ladd this week. Scary

Expand full comment

Do you think that Holland has genuine title aspirations? Feels like even if his wrestling improved significantly it wouldn’t be good enough for the top tier guys.
