You missed the most liked question in OTH history so I ask again:
I believe this is a fair question to ask.
A while back you stated that Conor did not come on the show because you would not agree to not ask him certain questions. He was on the show. Did that change? Did you think that since enough time had passed since he was civilly convicted of rape, you didn’t need to ask about that?
YES. THANK YOU. I ask about all the glaze for Gable Steveson and get no reply. I understand the situations are different but come on at least mention it.
Well to the moderator, shame on you for not choosing the questions. And Ariel, if you saw the question and didn’t answer it, that says more than anything.
In fairness, the interview didnt go ahead, we all heard about the stories about Conor, time moves on... He has a fight now... It's very complicated but Ariel is reporting on the fight game...
What was your inner dialogue during the Conor interview? I was disappointed to not hear him pressed on the major incidents (if we can call them that) over the last few years. Even if he had been pressed to the point of “I can’t comment on that”, I think many of us would have been satisfied. This is coming from a place of respect and fandom. Gracias.
I just wanted to check, is New York Rick contractually obligated to take the devils advocate position on every topic?
Last week he told us that losing was actually the best thing that could have happened to Ilia Topuria. Who knew! Now this week he’s saying he’d rather see Usyk vs Deontay Wilder (who is coming off a fight against Derek Chisora), instead of seeing Usyk vs undefeated and arguably the greatest UFC fighter ever Jon Jones.
If McGregor gets flatlined next week Rick will tell us it was exactly what his career needed
My firstborn son will be born within the month. I am writing him a series of letters in a journal, and plan to continue to do so until he turns 18 and I give him the journal, full of letters from me to him. Are there any meaningful gifts that your fathers passed on to you? I want him to have a part of me that he can carry with him, as I did not get that from my father.
Hola Ariel and the BITB! What happened with Ali and Nicksick backstage after the Kape fight? Seen so many versions of the story and I don’t know what to believe
I have some Breaking News. Arman Tsarukyan will be making a cameo in Rush Hour 4 playing an Armenian mob boss. He had dropped a nugget on your show saying he was going to be in a Jackie Chan movie, and at the moment Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker are filming Rush Hour 4. Therefore using deductive reasoning it is safe to assume Arman and maybe some other mma fighters will be making an appearance in this much anticipated sequel!
A week or so back, I asked the question about the moral dilemma of a Conor interview, given what we now know about him. You indicated that you cancelled the previous interview as you wouldn't be allowed to press certain subjects, which i thought was very admirable.
So yesterday I made vegetable soup for my vegetarian wife, upon completion I realized that I’d used chicken stock instead of vegetable stock 😬 I was far too invested in the soup by that time so I served it anyway. She says it’s the best vegetable soup she’s ever had and has been quizzing me on what I did differently. Should I own up or not? Bare in mind that not once in her 42 years of life has she tasted meat.
Ariel happy Canada day!! and i would be remiss if I didn't wish you a happy international Joke day. id also like to wish you a happy international creative ice cream flavors day. also I hope you have a wonderful international post worker's day. been watching you since before Lyoto's dad drank his pee infront of you. love the show although I do still miss the MMA Beat. Ariel do you think Conor is at a point in his career now that the UFC are hoping he loses his next 2 fights? I feel like If Conor beats Max his contract negotiations could get messy. In your personally opinion how do you think Conors negotiations will go? if he beats Max do you think the UFC will actually make Conor a legitimate offer good enough to keep him out of free agency at this point in his career? It seems like Conor is open to resigning if the deal is right but im skeptical the UFC will give him the kind of money he's looking for regardless of what happens his next 2 fights
Hi Ariel, I love the show and I’m an amateur boxer, big boxing fan and a slightly more than casual MMA fan — I graduate from university next week and wondered if there’s any internship opportunities. You guys at the Studio seem full intern-wise and I’m UK based anyway, however I can do a pretty good Irish accent if Petesy has a spare bed in his office. Cheers lads.
SHOUT OUT to Marc raimondi.. It was nice having him on the show. He should be on more. Just curious why he was there? ESPN okay with him being on Yahoo TV?
FYI... Canada would still be playing at home if they would have won their group.. too bad they are not as good as USMNT. GO USA!!!!
Hola Ariel! I’ve seen many people say of course Brock Lesnar came back since Summer Slam is in his hometown. I know he wrestled at Minnesota but not sure why everyone thinks Minneapolis is his hometown. Are they the idiots or am I?

Personally I dont give a shit about his legal issues in want to here about his fights
Agree
He knew how well the interview would do.
2.7 million views already. He sold his soul.
But hey, we are all innocent.
Ariel will often state how no one in the MMA media will ask the tough questions. He had a chance and caved.
funny how it was a 40+ minute convo and somehow those questions never came up. just Conor offhand mentioning that he "forgives himself" lol
YES. THANK YOU. I ask about all the glaze for Gable Steveson and get no reply. I understand the situations are different but come on at least mention it.
I asked the same, the big man mentioned it quietly, we never got the full story...

we’re the ones with the bad takes though
Ariel and crew,
My firstborn son will be born within the month.

Shoutout the best team in the game.

Sup Ariel,

Hello Ariel,
A week or so back, I asked the question about the moral dilemma of a Conor interview, given what we now know about him. You indicated that you cancelled the previous interview as you wouldn't be allowed to press certain subjects, which i thought was very admirable.
So I guess the question is....what changed?
Best

Hey Helwani,
So yesterday I made vegetable soup for my vegetarian wife, upon completion I realized that I’d used chicken stock instead of vegetable stock 😬 I was far too invested in the soup by that time so I served it anyway. She says it’s the best vegetable soup she’s ever had and has been quizzing me on what I did differently. Should I own up or not? Bare in mind that not once in her 42 years of life has she tasted meat.
You’re actually an asshole for serving it to her knowing she is vegetarian. Tell her so she knows how deeply you betrayed her trust.
why’d you serve it?
Unc, when is the Petesy-centric merch dropping?
Ariel happy Canada day!! and i would be remiss if I didn't wish you a happy international Joke day. id also like to wish you a happy international creative ice cream flavors day. also I hope you have a wonderful international post worker's day. been watching you since before Lyoto's dad drank his pee infront of you. love the show although I do still miss the MMA Beat.

Hey Ariel- questions for everyone:
GC- sometimes people call you GOAT Conner. What do you think you’re the goat of?
Ariel- when’s the last time you talked to Chris Van Vliet?
Petesy- do you like Smithwick’s?
Intern who likes wrestling- heard it’s Sami vs Cody on Monday. Will Sami drop the title this soon?
On Air Jordan- if you’re a Knicks fan, why is your name based on Michael Jordan? Remember the playoffs series in the 90s?
This one is for Mr. Bonner Curks…
Blindly rank these 6 drops
WOOOOO (from last week’s bitb)
☎️📞 landline hang up
Beeeeeeep
Hello hello how are you
James te huna?
Life is good today
