Happy Wednesday! Time for another edition of “On the Nose” on today’s episode of “The MMA Hour.” Hit me with your best questions below. You know the drill. Everything and anything goes. Questions only available to paid subscribers. Sorry, them’s the rules. And try to keep them short and sweet, if possible.
Assuming Sterling x Yan II gets done early next year, I both agree and like your idea of the winner of Font x Aldo facing off with TJ Dillashaw for a rightful number one contender’s match.
Is it more likely we see the loser of Font x Aldo face off against Cory Sandhagen, Merab Dvalishvili or our guy Chito?
Hi.. I’m a new user of app. Have started enjoying your segment with GC.. one thing I observe (all the time) is you rarely understand what GC is saying whenever he talks parleys or hedges you always respond with thanksgiving or Christmas stories or just exclaim “oh yes! Makes sense! Could not agree more! “ Could you share some insight and clear the air?
#GOATwani my man I hope you had a great week mate!
2 quick questions this week!
1.
normally fighters when asked about their pay give a vague answer like “ I’m getting taken care of “ or “I’m making more money in this fight then my past fights “
with the continued dispute over fighter pay, wouldn’t it help all fighters to know exactly what everyone is getting paid similar to NBA and NFL so they can leverage off of each other and get better deals when they negotiate their new contracts?
2.
Who has been more of a distraction to their kids careers, Lavar Ball or Lopez Sr?
Ariel please take me behind the curtain and tell me what the production crew does. Some of my favorite podcasts have their production crews interact with the host and some even have cameras on them while they speak, and they all seem like friends, yours included. What are those guys up to back there? Tell me.
We currently only have one Dutch fighter in the UFC and that’s Germaine de Randemie. Have you heard of the new Dutch promotion Levels Fight League? I think they could be an incubator for new Dutch UFC fighters.
Happy Hanukkah Ariel! My question for you this week is where is Megan Anderson? Since her lose to Amanda in March and her contract ending she hasn’t said a single thing about fighting. I’m surprised Bellator or PFL has not tried to sign her. On her wiki it says former MMA fighter and judging by her Instagram profile she is working at the cesspool that is ESPN. Is she just done with MMA for good?
This weeks handicapped hot take for you and its coming from a Justin Gaethje fan. it’s crazy he is being talked about as the number 1 contender. He won a close decision fight over someone who just lost to the champ after being subbed by Khabib. I don’t see how he is the number 1 contender. He should fight the loser of the title fight in December.

Happy Wednesday Ariel, John Wayne Parr came up in conversation on a previous show when you were discussing one of Brad Riddell's past fights. I would love to see the legendary gun slinger on your show! My question for you, what would it take for you to switch from the Adelaide Crows to the Collingwood Magpies?
