What I want to know is what happened with Dan Hardy and the UFC? Also why can’t you explain what really happened at UFC 199/200? Surely now you’re on your own you can elaborate.
Have you tried finding the correct mma hour from 2016. It’s 3/4 hours long. Do you want me to sit and watch them all to catch a 5 minute bit? He’s not mentioned what happened recently.
Ariel my man. I love the banter and good vibes you have on the MMA ringer show between you, chuck and Pete, but there seems to be a lot of beef in MMA media. Was this the same in the NBA? Shams 10-7 over woj?
I’ve got lone wolf vibes, I cover the sport of MMA, but can’t seem to enjoy covering the sport on a team/collective basis with brands or sites, I think I’m just a solo MMA guy through n through, is there a hope for a Scottish solo MMA journalist to achieve some on his own! 👍
With the US making COVID vaccines necessary for visitors, can you see the UFC doing more International shows in the coming years or even a return to Fight Island?
Short question, Mike Russell and Ali. Your thoughts about what Mike has to say about the manager Ali. Do you believe any of it? I don't believe I've heard you talk about this recently.
https://twitter.com/MIKERUSSELLMMA/status/1171995047707009024. This will give you a quick run down, but there hasn't been a lot more info released since 2019ish. Whenever someone on Ali's side is asked about this, they don't answer at all and just say. People like Mike are roaches, and should be squashed.
Same here, that's why I'm hoping Ariel will give us his honest opinion on the situation. It's just wild to me how quickly this stopped being talked about. I've seen no evidence that points to Mike being a lair, and I would think there would be if he was lying about this.
I think he's address this a few weeks ago. I'm assuming you mean the 1:1 interviews of the past? The UFC aren't really running the same press junkets as before. Where the fighters sit in front of a poster of themselves fielding questions from outlets. It's all done via zoom/ other alternatives. This may change with different host covid restrictions but as it stands currently, old school interviews are not on the table.
Hopefully I haven't prevented the nose from reading this Q and he can slap me straight if I'm wrong :)
Mr. Ariel Heelwani - Aside from the fighters currently providing color commentary, which new guys/gals would be great on the mic? Also, is there room for new ppl to do this or is the current lineup set in stone?
Ariel my man! Absolutely love the show and what you’re doing. You’re the best. Did those bozos keep there promise or na?? I wouldn’t know cause you couldn’t pay me to listen to them…
Obviously you’re doing fine without them, but on a human level was it hurtful/disappointing that guys like Henry Cejudo, who basically built their gimmick on your show, completely turned their back on you overnight just because of their manager?
Ariel, that “apology” was one of the most narcissistic, nonsensical rants I’ve ever heard. But I think that’s the best you’re gonna get. Time to move on regardless, no?
"Mr. Madison, what you've just said... Is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point, in your rambling, incoherent response, were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."
Love this question. Hope Ariel answers it. 👍
Why in boxing is keeping your 0 a bigger deal than in mma??
Ariel. Big shout out from Manchester England.
What a show? Great guests and great topics.

Keep up the awesome work Ariel

He has many times in the past. You can watch the old MMA Hour episode right after those events

Easy to find if you just google. honestly it's most of the episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLNsbQ6gv7U

Ariel, Steve James Irvine here, my question,
I’ve got lone wolf vibes, I cover the sport of MMA, but can’t seem to enjoy covering the sport on a team/collective basis with brands or sites, I think I’m just a solo MMA guy through n through, is there a hope for a Scottish solo MMA journalist to achieve some on his own! 👍
Jarry Park is all the inspiration you need my man, good luck!
Ariel. When is the next UFC event you are going to? And will it be for bt sport coverage?
If you were to do a new weekly show with a current or former fighter that’s not DC or Chael, who do you think would be a good co-host?
Great question!

Must’ve missed something because I have no idea what happened

I remember when Conor brought this up, just never really knew how much of it was true or not

Even stranger, he skipped my question during the show. It's wild the pull it appears Ali has in MMA.
Do you think you’ll attend the upcoming UFC at MSG? Would love to get some old school Ariel Helwani interviews from media day.

Any news on possible location for Ufc 271 Whittaker vs Adesanya?

It’s like when wrestlers leave WWE and badmouth it. They all come home eventually.

Where do you think Kayla Harrison ends up next? Bellator or the UFC? Do you think she will end up fighting Nunes before it’s all said and done?
