Don’t you find it funny that Dana has all of the sudden become the voice for free speech when his own press conferences have only in house media? The same 4/5 guys every event. Those same 4/5 guys all show up to Slap events as well. I guess he’s down for free speech but only when it serves his purpose.
Don’t forget if you hate Bryce Mitchell you can always watch him get his ass kicked right here in the UFC.
No question this week, just writing to say I hope you all come up to Montreal for a pre-UFC 315 show. I don’t plan on attending UFC 315 because I assume the ticket prices will be outrageous, but I’d drive up from Ottawa to attend a live show with you all. I dm’d Eric about this on Twitter, trying to get the hype going!
When On Air Jordan speaks on the show why does it sound like he's in outerspace, and when Handy Andy speaks why does it sound like she's underwater? I'm surprised Frank hasn't said anything about the poor audio. Can we please get them both better mics? To Jordan/Andy go order one now and expense it to Ariel, we want to hear your clear beautiful voices.
Ariel, I love and respect you. I respect that you are loyal to Drake. But I can not accept this Kendrick slander.
You said that the only reason why he got the super bowl performance is because of the rap battle, but why wouldn't he? None of the the last four performers had released music in years and still got to headline the Superbowl. Why would the NFL go with some random artists that haven't released music in years over the biggest story in music of 2024?
Additionally, you imply that people only started listening to Kendrick after the rap battle, which is furthest from the truth. His recent album was his fifth consecutive number one album. Sure his debut album didn't reach number one and packed at number 2, it was on the billboard charts for over 12 years. He not only won 5 Grammys the other week but has a total of 20 Grammys (4 times more than Drake). Not to mention Kendrick sells out arenas and stadiums worldwide.
If you don't like him, that's fine. The least you can do is acknowledge that he didn't need this fued to be relevant.
Regarding the Kendrick-Drake feud, you said that you will always be loyal to your guy Drake. I find it similar to the McGregor situation where you stay loyal to him and continue to joke about his antics and "how great" he is when he shows up for BKFC or any other sort of Cameo. My question is, if Drake is indeed found guilty or more evidence surfaces regarding his unusual behavior with underage girls, would you still support him? It's a matter of separating the art from the artist just like enjoying McGregor's fights but denouncing his actions and his character. Don't forget that Drake does have guys in OVO and on his payroll that have been found guilty of heinous acts, including harassment of minors. I'd like to know your stance on your loyalty to Drake and McGregor and where you really draw the line. Thanks
I'm about to move countries for my my first job out of uni, and obviously have a few nerves ahead of this. As someone who's done this move before, what are some niche tips and tricks you have!?
Note - by the time the show airs, I will he listening live on my flight over!
While studying the downfall of the KC Chiefs and their Strickland-esque Super Bowl performance, I couldn’t help but think.. if they had just listened to the GFL “Protect Your Neck” theme song for pre-game warmups and in the locker room during the overrated halftime “show” on repeat, would this all have gone differently? Who knows..
Also, for NYR, would you rather get DDP v Khamzat or Eubank v Benn in 2025?
On Monday’s show you said and I quote “Hip-hop is my favorite kind of music, I’m not one of “those” people. The one a couple years ago with Eminem and Dre and all that stuff.. That was incredible”
Two things,
1.) Kendrick Lamar was one of the featured artist of the 2022 Super Bowl halftime you said you liked.
2.) By saying Kendrick Lamar is a “Johnny come-lately” you do in fact sound like one of “those” people.
Love the show, listen to it every day at my desk. My question for Ariel, of the three main topics at uncrowned (MMA, Boxing, Wrestling) it feels as though you get less wrestling guests on than boxing or MMA. Is there a reason for that? Not a complaint as such, I love the show regardless, but I really enjoyed the short Bubba Ray talk yesterday and the Joe Hendry one a week or so ago. Are you still scarred by the infamous Sasha Banks interview?
I noticed when you did a recent episode of fight feast, I think it was the Armenia one. The chef was right beside you when you were reviewing some of the dishes. I was wondering if you find it harder to give an honest review if the chef is right beside you?
Ric, would you rather:
-Never work a combat sports related job again
OR
-Join Brendan Schaub’s podcasting team
don't use the sink :(

Bonjour Ariel et l'équipage,
This week is Valentine's Day!
So I want to hear from everyone currently available- What is the most romantic thing you did for your significant other?
Specific flowers and music playing in the background get extra points.
Have a lovely one!
Wishing the team gets us in the mood for love, melt our hearts and hopefully gives us some ideas.
Hey Ariel!

I know those guys aren’t actually in house media but they sure act like it.

Sup Ariel,

Appreciate you all.

Kendrick was trash and Drake literally made him.

Sup?!
Can we get UFC-countdown-inspired show ahead of the massive GC vs. Brady Aviron bike battle?
I want to see some training, hear what the coaches are saying and get the feel for whose head is in the game-
Is GC soaking his feet in gasoline? swimming with rocks? Is Brady getting that gorgeous bod inked with more panty watering tats?
We need the answers. Also get the promotion going, GC deserves some PPV points.
Give us a full embedded series please!
With GC getting a haircut.

Hey crew, how do you prefer to handle valentines day?
Go out the night of, go out another night, or avoid it all costs?
Hey Ariel and team, watching and supporting the show from Perth, Australia.
Question for everybody:
For 2025, what is everyone's dream matchup in each of the UFC mens divisions, and who is everyone's dark horse for each division?
Thank you, much love
What up Ariel & gang,
While studying the downfall of the KC Chiefs and their Strickland-esque Super Bowl performance, I couldn’t help but think.. if they had just listened to the GFL “Protect Your Neck” theme song for pre-game warmups and in the locker room during the overrated halftime “show” on repeat, would this all have gone differently? Who knows..
Also, for NYR, would you rather get DDP v Khamzat or Eubank v Benn in 2025?
Thanks, boys.. Go Bills
Hello Ariel,
On Monday’s show you said and I quote “Hip-hop is my favorite kind of music, I’m not one of “those” people. The one a couple years ago with Eminem and Dre and all that stuff.. That was incredible”

1.) Kendrick Lamar was one of the featured artist of the 2022 Super Bowl halftime you said you liked.
2.) By saying Kendrick Lamar is a “Johnny come-lately” you do in fact sound like one of “those” people.
*insert “it’s tough” sound bite here*
Be Good, Do Good, God Bless and Go Bills.
Hey Guys,
Love the show, listen to it every day at my desk. My question for Ariel, of the three main topics at uncrowned (MMA, Boxing, Wrestling) it feels as though you get less wrestling guests on than boxing or MMA. Is there a reason for that?

Peace and love fellas, up the mags ⚫️⚪️
Questions for GC
I noticed when you did a recent episode of fight feast, I think it was the Armenia one. The chef was right beside you when you were reviewing some of the dishes. I was wondering if you find it harder to give an honest review if the chef is right beside you?
So Strickland vs Whitaker??
Or Strickland vs Izzy 2
