Of course this era is coming to an end to make way for a whole NEW era, which is upon us.

Shoutout class of 2012. First PPV I watched was UFC 100 with Brock Lesnar in 2009. Dan Henderson KO of Bisping got me hooked and I watched all the UFC Unleashed/Best KO’s on Spike TV all day. Fantastic times.

Can someone please explain to me what Ariel meant when explaining that the show will be changing? What did I miss and where can I find him explaining this in more detail?

I hate when Ariel is in a bad mood and just blows off questions. Would have loved to hear him actually talk about the lightweights for a minute. Pettis, RDA, Eddie, Conor, Tony, Khabib there were some crazy storylines, characters and fights throughout that era. Clicked on the video because of that question and he just said “I don’t care”

Ariel, I’m loving the beard! You look better with it filled out like how you do right now. Great show.

Any MMA questions?

Someone asked the question that was a sherdog thread. Blunt rotation

I can comfirm the prounouncing of Louisville. People can tell if you are from there but how you pronounce it

Got curious on the Pat McAfee thing and theres only one clip from a couple years ago of McAfee and his crew roasting Ariel….. couldnt tell if it was a work or shoot but if it was legit then it seems like McAfee doesnt want a work relationship with Ariel anymore. Play “who me?” Audio clip

Its good that other companies are getting bigger in the MMA market. It will make the UFC shrink, or force them to pay all their fighters better..

Idk how Islam is p4p #1 His most impressive win is Charlie Olives. Sure the volk KO was shocking but he was 10 days removed from the couch & is a 45’er. Jones resume smokes Islams

As long as Charles Oliveira is in the lightweight division, It will be interesting to see

Hey GC chimes in a lot, huh?

It seems like it's the same contenders over and over again ,the sport is attracting top level athletes /fighters

The weight classes getting interesting are all of them lmao

How long has Frank been playing D&D??

Tighten it up boys🤦🏻‍♂️

He’s not wrong about Louisville.

Is he really celebrating Israel WHILE they're committing the most heinous crimes in human history? Man I thought Ariel is a good guy...
