10-6 helwani i can’t believe paddy ruined his reputation THIS FAST.
He's honestly brain-dead man. Paddy was the kid in the UK who got put in special classes in school to help him. He's so dumb it's comical lol. Ariel comes with facts. Paddy comes with what? Words?
Seriously
If you come after the King don't miss.
Not sure too many people outside of Ariel’s fandom will care tbh.
@@ApocalypticSigns oh well I disagree but I'm just a homeless cat doing a weekend shift on the dishes
Paddy's fall from grace is the inverse equivalent of Paulo Costa's redemption story.
Paddy really is disliked by everyone now.
Literally man
@@Cryptum404 you mean everyone sane coz I still see decent amount of dillussional fans still backing him up..
Haha. Yes! Wasn’t big on Costa previously, but love him now. Dude is hilarious
Paulo just a genuine funny ass dude 😂
“You say ‘F*** the tories’ but you’re sitting in front of Dana White, who if he was a brit, would be a tory.” One of the best points you’ve ever made Ariel. Never even thought about it like that before.
This line was solid gold.
Exactly.
I doubt he'd be a Tory given they are essentially Labour at this point.
@Timmy Labour are worse than the Tories. Both are awful but Labour and Kier Starmer are far far far worse than the Tories. Labour will destroy this country if they get in power.
@@modano182 Well given the options, they're the closest he'd get in this country to republican.
I remember times where Ariel wasn't liked by most of the MMA community at all, I'm glad we're at a time where people truly recognise how important this man has been for the coverage of this sport.
He’s always been liked by most, not the other way round
@@Team_Banchamek nah it didn't feel like that early 2010 days man he used to get alottt of stick
@@Team_Banchamekhes always had people running him down and making fun of him. The man has truly worked hard an can't even go to events anymore. Dana is a scumbag sometimes the fact he hasn't attempted to talk to ariel since the falling out is just sad
Theres some clips that make him look bad but he's definitely an asset to the community. As important as Chael Sonnen is.
Yeah and tbh that’s when he had access to the UFC , ever since he’s been “banned” , he’s been the most complete journalist in the game
The funniest part of his post fight interview was when he shouted "WHO'S A HYPE TRAIN?? WHO'S A F*CKIN HYPE TRAIN?!" After a performance where he conclusively proved to everyone that he is indeed a hype train.
😂 this cracked me up. I like paddy, even still after hes acted shitty, hes only human. But acting like he won clear is delusional.
He was trying to get
Fight of the night 🤣
I didn’t know all this drama was going on, and came into the fight supporting him. But damn even as a fan, I was like what?! I was waiting for Dana to call out the rubbish judges but… what made it worse was when he said he had no doubt he won 😂🤣 did you see Joe’s face!?
He started with, "wasn't even close lad" then said it was fight of the night 😂
I love how Ariel is like a normal dude in a sea of bombastic pro fighters and he stands his ground using his brain and courage.
Normal??? He decides who he thinks is worth interviewing. He said it in this video. He is a damn reporter. Why is he convinced he is more important than the fighters? He's delusional and narcisistic.
Fr
What ?? Are you for real? Open your eyes genius can’t you see this a win win for the slimeball Ariel, pigs like to get dirty you wanna lay down with Ariel? He livings in the mud
This dude Ariel funny af 😂
🎶Mr Lover Lover 🎶
Never have I seen a fighter destroy his reputation in such quick fashion. It's such a shame.
Why is it a shame?
@@folksurvival Because deep down I think Paddy is actually a decent person, unfortunately he has allowed the success and fame go to his young head, he has become very arrogant and cocky ! If he had decent people around him someone would have advised him to wind his neck in, warning him that he's in danger of ruining his brand/name. I'm certainly no longer a fan and actually wanted him to lose the fight as he seriously needed humbling !!
Definitely not a shame. Dude is a doofus
Khamzat kinda did whe he missed weight and than dove on holland when he went for the fist bump at the start.
@@marlaqfromyearone6951 difference is Khamzat does and will continue to fight at top tier level
"when money in your hands it's good, when money into your mind it's bad" - Khabib
10-7. Not as bad as a beatdown as the first one, but Paddy has been on the ropes for two straight rounds now. Even Yamasaki would've stopped this by now
Good one xD
Outside of this channel does anyone care? Honestly?
@@ApocalypticSigns why would it matter if people care? I’m able to have my own opinions.
Judges still gone give paddy the decision
Mark Smith would have jumped in after the first 2 strikes landed.
See Paddy? This is what winning a fight looks like
It's why jake canceled the challenge. He seen the machine banish Jarod Gordon. By beating up the hype machine. Peep game jake is silent 🤫.
sick burn, bro.
@@klatts863 Katie has the banter of a dying child lmaooooo
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😭
It’s amazing how little time it took to expose Paddy. Not only is he a liar, he has little character as proved by his antics after the Gordon fight. It was cringey to say the least watching him literally beg Dana for a fight of the night bonus after he lost in one of the more boring fights of the night. There are a lot of former fans, like me, looking forward to his soon to be downfall.
I stopped liking paddy after what he said about the Georgian people!!!
totally agree, i saw a list of scorecards from the media , like 20 media ppl, and ALL had gordon winning, every single one.....he lost!!!! atleast come out and say you can do better and it was a close fight, but he came out like he CLEARLY won easy.....hes a clown, do NOT see him being a top 5 fighter at all, MAYBE top 10 but even that who knows. he just doesnt seem like a top 10 guy right now
Don't understand the Paddy hype at all. Conor sized ego but he fights like me pissed 🍻
@@needps5701 Same...I became a Topiura fan after that...Now that guy I believe is the real deal
Love to see the community almost to a man standing behind Ariel and it’s nice to hear fighters have his back behind the scenes as well! The man is a diamond in the rough. A true beacon for our community.
Our community needs more vegetables than bacon, just saying...

Paddy has always been annoying. People dogged on Ariel, and maybe he gets overlooked being just a reporter, but this guy gets all the respect, because he stands up for himself in a world where he will run into trained professional fighters. Good on him. As for Paddy, have fun being destroyed by the little reporter you thought you could bully.
Influencer* lol According to Paddy

Why doesn't Ariel pay fighters for interviews?
@@agreberag because he is an employee..it isn’t his business
I think I can speak for many many people when I say that it was a beautiful sight seeing how many people flipped over and supported you these past few days Ariel. You handled all that BS like a boss, and did it with professionalism and class. 10-6 Helwani.
This guy ^ took the words out of my mouth. Very impressive stuff tbh. Notes taken.
I can’t believe how many believe that Ariel is nice genuine guy that cares so much for the fighters, like this guy isn’t putting on an act, this guy loves the drama, he’s a true weasel journalist who manipulates the fighters into believing he cares so much all so that they will go to him first, then he loves the drama and jumps all over trying to bash anyone who calls him out, true pos, imo
Ariel is being dishonest and honestly anyone who 100% believes him is an idiot. He does this for a living (making drama, etc). He does profit off fighter indirectly through his contract. And he aired their private matter after his paddy's manager sent the message. He knew exactly what he was doing. He couldn't wait a day before telling the podcast.
I’m not sure a 10-6 is possible in one rd
@@zeitgeistrat Ariel is the goat
Paddy really said he was tryna link as a friend what a horrific liar 😂

Hey, thanks for this. I'm not a Paddy fan, and I didn't even know Ariel before this, but there is definitely more here than the comments say. I think Ariel is the more mature here out of the two, but both parties are pickin' fights and needing apologies. Paddy is like a chihuahua, and Ariel is like a fox.
Well done Ariel. You did something that the judges couldn’t do - let Paddy know that he lost.
Simply well said
Boom, mic drop
Helwani ruined a big announcement at UFC200. He purposely waited for the ufc to go live on ppv and then 1hour before the scheduled lesnar announcement sneaky helwani had to share the news to everyone via Twitter. Two reasons why he did it.. Financial gain and to spite Dana white. It caused a lot of issues inside the ufc resulting in people losing there job. Some people would call that poor journalism but most people know it was a nasty scum bag move. Lesnar hasn’t spoken to helwani since
paddy won, *cry about it*

I'm not really the biggest fan of Ariel but you have to give the guy credit he's face to face with professional fighters who could easily snap you in half and he still sticks to his guns and doesn't back down
Of course just because some is stronger than you and could beat you up. Does not give them the right to not be spoken out against and held to account.
This sucks brother. All weekend I've been trying to fight Paddy's corner. I'm from Liverpool so I tend to try stay loyal as long as possible. But its clear this is all on Paddy's feet. You keep being you and you'll come out the other side better for it. You've earned a fan in me. ✌️
tory rat
Paddy's a bum so is Ariel
Paddy just can't shut up. He's making this so much worse for himself
This is the problem with playing the bravado card, you can’t back down, you have to double down - it’s a double or nothing approach to life and it’s looking like a nothing for Pads
He s a money grabbing little shister from a UK fan of his
Turns out losing is a actual win for the laddy
Paddy’s right, Ariel started this crap now cries victim soy boy
Maybe chael was right, maybe Paddy really is just kinda dumb?
Paddy can’t understand why Ariel is getting support. Paddy can’t understand why people think Gordon won. “Paddy’s a little bit stupid.” -Chael Sonnen
It's narcissism, the need to control the environment and everyone in it, they tell lies and believe it, and if anyone disagrees they are wrong. His mask has slipped and we all see it. Popularity is more important to him than anything. Weak character and egomaniac on steroids. 10-7
I have the same thought as Uncle Chael. I've been saying that he just seems like a dumb guy.That's fine, not everyone is a genius but the problem is that he's stupid and stubborn. He couldn't be more unlikeable at this point. Maybe he can be like a floyd mayweather where people want to see him fight just to see him lose. Of course, Gordon beat him, but everyone wants to see get KO'd now, or atleast I do lol.
Nah everyone supports Paddy - we're all just bots, bro.
He’s definitely not the sharpest knife in the drawer.
@@thru_and_thru Definitely not the sharpest tool in the shed.
Just gained so much respect for Ariel! Stand up for yourself young man. Love it!
Top notch as always Ariel. Nothing but class, despite these individuals trying to drag you down to their low level. Much respect as always. Congrats on 13!
Paddy screaming to Dana "fight of the night" was the icing on the cake for me!
Out of everything, THAT was the icing? 😂 He’s so obnoxious.
Rogan
I know so cringe "Dana! ....Dana! Begging for scraps like some spoiled brat starved for attention
Doctor stoppage!!
I thought the Rogan 'joke' was bad but yeah that pathetic screaming to Daddy Dana was the lowest
This is crazy. The only reason I knew who Paddy was before he got to the UFC was because of Ariel. He had Paddy and Molly on the show long ago and was a fan.
So proud of you for sticking up for the truth, holy brother. I love how you are not against him and how you’re so willing to let bygones be bygones… but you’re not willing to let the lies flourish.
Ariel helwani is too real for Paddy. He just defended himself against a bully and come off so much better flawless victory
You mma fans gotta shut up about bullying .. that's all you guys do is bully behind a little screen ..
Bullies pick on defenseless people, nobody Paddy has picked on is defenseless
lol y'all are delusional if you thing Ariel is 100% innocent in this. If you have half a brain you could tell Ariel is being dishonest. About multiple things.
Paddy: it's weird Ariel was so bothered by this. Every reasonable person: being lied about is bothersome.
It’s even funnier because you can tell paddy is the one that’s really pissy about it. He’s been thinking it about for a year since it’s happened and is still crying on interviews
When Ariel whisper "I think our views will beat your views but who's counting" 😂
Brian Stann coming in like the American Hero he is 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Can't believe Paddy lost to Jared Gordon and Ariel Helwani in the same week
The judges may have gotten it wrong but Ariel got a clear 10-7
So what exactly happened between them two?
@@chrisheld684 highschool drama
@@sugmanutz327 If high school drama is a public attack on your professional integrity and career. Your empathy is lacking. You may need to take a break from the internet.
“I’m as petty as they come” love that! 😂💪
Ariel don't be surprised by the love from the fans and fighters. Your honesty and integrity are what sets you apart. We appreciate your work and you have helped the sport grow 🙏 your work is impeccable 👌 much love and respect.
Prediction: Sooner or later, Paddy will lose a few fights. Get humbled in the process (like Darren Till). Have a falling away with his manager. Blame his manager for his mishaps with Ariel. Claim the sudden fame and orbiters/influences caused the mishaps, and that he's grown up and mature. Comes back to Ariel apologizing for his mishaps. Ariel accepts the humbled-Paddy back. They become buds. Happy ever after.
Underrated comment, come back to this next year m8 this is on point.
I wanna follow up on this
Your bang on.. especially about Till aswell. Was a big Till fan until I saw an interview on here with Ariel when we was going through all the lockdowns.. and he just kept referencing himself in the 3rd person and was saying things like the corona virus might effect people but hes fine, has a 3 story house with a Ferrari on the drive money in the bank and a fridge full of food so he’s not effected by it. It’s not about the virus but how he basically mugged everyone off with that attitude I just thought “nah f**k Till”. He’s not won a fight since lol
No one cares.
@@happyjemini why are you here then?
Between the Ariel stuff, the despicable performance, and the delusional post fight nonsense (claiming the fight wasn’t even close), Paddy ruined his hype in a weekend. Just like that. Not only did he ruin his hype, he’s destroyed his fan base. People simply don’t like the guy, everyone is officially annoyed with him.
But yet his subscribers keep going higher.
@@staytrue5307 people love to hate
@@tylerbaxter4199 yeah making him richer, the logic of those people 🙄
Yet every video about the man garners more views, more clicks than ever before. He said yonks ago that any publicity is good publicity. There will be more eyes on his next fight than any of his fights prior💸
I’m not annoyed with him he lied and then had a lackluster fight you guys just worship Ariel and can’t wait to say 10-4 Helwani.
No reason to apologize for being long winded, kuddos for standing up and defending yourself. You explained your side great and clearly.
Ariel definitely deserves his own bobble head on his desk, definitely a legend of the sport 💯
Paddy is now 0-3 in last 7 days. Losing twice to Ariel by KO both times.
Here lays Paddy Pimblett's fame, and career (2021-2022). Someone get the body bag. Ariel, still undefeated! Thank you again for everything you do Ariel!
That Brian stan story is legendary!
Killing it. From a fellow Brit, I can promise you this, Paddy has lost alot of fans this week. No one I have talked to is impressed with everything he has done recently. The only thing thats impressed me at all about paddy these past 2 weeks was his walkout, that was quality. Hes not a good representation of british mma in any way shape or form though.
Ariel flew to Dublin years back to interview Conor etc and one of the greatest interviews ever and no rebate involved. That says it all.
Damn Ariel. Started watching your interviews back in the day, and to see the evolution from dealing with rampage, to what you've become. It's inspiring to all of us who love the sport, but dislike the people in charge
This is minor leagues after dealing with Rampage 💯
Miss the Rampage days. Hilarious
I have to admit that ol' Ariel evolved from a thin skin emotional whining MMA reporter into a though skin professional reporter with a good pair of balls and a rational brain to go with them. Good for him and to MMA.
Yo!!! On Point Like An Arrow, 👊🏾🦁🦁🇳🇬🇺🇸
For the first time in history, a 👃 is actually not claiming victimhood for no reason at all, which is what they usually do
Normally I don't side with anyone and most definitely not Ariel, but he's a good journalist and I know the feeling you get when people call you a liar when you're not. Good on you, pal.
Fwiw I hadn’t subscribed to your show until all this exploded. I listened to your segment and thought “OK I could do with more actual journalism and fewer top10 lists”. Thanks for what you bring to the sport.
How awkward was paddy’s joke to Joe Rogan about paying for the interview
It was completely uncomfortable 😫
Rogan playing dumb was an instant classic.
It was cringe
I cringed
Nearly as toe curling as him asking Dana for 50 grand bonus,while he was trying to ignore him hahah
Not only did he alienate a huge section of hardcore fans, he also got exposed as being a mid tier fighter.
Not even mid tier, jared Gordon is his ceiling. He'll absolutely get murked by someone like drew dober
Paddy the saddy fatty is almost a mid tier fighter lol watch the Ufc feed him more tomato cans to keep the hype train going!! Choo choo mudder fookers!! 🚂
Jared Gordon is a mid tier fighter. Paddy is just bad. I mean, look at that striking on display, it was so awful that it was almost physically painful to witness. You're a professional fighter, could you make SOME effort not to have worse boxing form than ME? I train once a week for the past 6 years and have never competed, hardly even spar nowadays.
I don't watch Ariel much but he always seems to win his controversies
Somewhere in this world Dan Hardy is yelling “Stop the fight!!!”
It’s quite amazing how quickly Paddy has managed to lose a large following. It was clear he lost to Gordon but getting the decision was not his fault. That being said, his failure to admit it was a close fight or the fact he got a little lucky makes him quite hard to like. He needs to change his ways quickly or he will have an inevitable loss and won’t get an opportunity to become relevant again.
When you have the peoples heart it’s very easy to break it.
He’s shown his true colours ( mostly brown around the nose) and as such is irrevalent.

Ariel's colleagues should be fact-checking Paddy to his face and not letting him lie in their interviews; that is true journalism. The chasm between Ariel's professionalism and that of these other MMA journalists couldn't be wider.
Thanks Ariel , Everyone knows we need people like you to keep MMA , The Ufc and fighters honest and on their toes. Fighting popularity wouldn't exist without it
the guy that makes a living out of twisting fighters words and creating drama? That guy? Seriously? He's lying about so many things anybody who believes everything he is saying is delusional and a bootlicker. He DOES profit off of fighters indirectly through his contract. I'm in the media business and to say he doesn't is dishonest. 2nd) he aired Paddy's business in the podcast not even a day after. He has no business airing private business like that. Name dropping Paddy doesn't matter considering he did it AFTER what Paddy's manager sent. It's his responsibility as a reporter not to leak things. Especially not a day after. He knew EXACTLY what he was doing. Anybody claiming otherwise has never been in the media business and is just eating Ariel's poop by the spoonful.

The reason he waited a year to bring it up is because it was never an issue, once he had Dana across from him on a podcast he knew if he talked crap about you it would score brownie points with the boss, it’s so obvious what he’s doing.
Well said man 👏
It's been said, but the sheer fact that Paddy is saying this about Ariel while he's wrapped atound Dana's finger is crazy. So blatantly lying and yet he still believes he's right? It's a dismantling and hopefully he corrects himself before it's too late... already is for most of us
What is funny is that if Paddy was genuinely mad for all that time, why was he reaching out to Ariel, calling him 'lad' multiple times asking to go hang out and have a beer? Just brutal

This whole situation made me like Ariel 10x more. Bros passionate about the ufc, Paddy would be so lucky that someone even gives a damn about this situation as much as Ariel does.
Even more now than ever Ariel is needed in MMA and I hope he as a journalist digs very deeply into what is happening in the company/MMA in general and Paddy is now apart of that. So standing up for himself in this moment is the best thing that can happen. Keep on going Ariel, don’t let the likes Danna, Paddy and others try and sideline you.
Ariel Helwani has always been a stand-up interviewer and an excellent representative for MMA in general. To me, it is wonderful watching Paddy Pimblett prove everything I have ever said about him from his very first appearance on the UFC stage. I said he was nothing but hype and that once the UFC/Dana White stops shielding him from real fights that all the holes in his game would be apparent. It didn't even take a ranked fighter from his own weight class to do it. It only took an unranked fighter from a lower weight class to bank on him enough to show the world that this kid was out of his league. And now people and his "fans" are being shown that he's a lying, weak, narcissist who isn't worth the money that the UFC is throwing away in order to market him. It is great to see that just like the McGregor that came before him, that Paddy is his own worst nemesis...only, Paddy will fall quicker and much deeper than Paddy's blueprint named Conor did.
Glad you pointed out how the first thing on his mind after being gifted the decision was this whole ordeal. That’s the first thing I thought. Ariel’s living in his head 😂
Rogan's "no sell" was the most brutal thing that has happened in the octagon lol
The only time rogans ever landed a blow in an mma enviroment
When was this and what does it mean?
@@bringinthedope5929 I assume it is a reference to Joe Rogan interviewing Paddy after his controversial decision win at UFC 282 last weekend. Paddy made a joke about "how much are you paying me for this interview" and Joe Rogan just kind of smiled and didn't say anything. I think "no sell" is a term referring to professional wrestling, which means that they don't go along with the rehearsed routine, so by Joe Rogan not reacting in any dramatic or humorous way, he did a "no sell".
@@beeeps that was so awkward 😂
@@beeeps Beautiful, champ!
10-7 Helwani, I feel like the fame has really gone to Paddy's head as of lately, when he first joined the UFC the fights and promotion he was doing just seemed more natural and fun, now it seems like he is just trying to force himself to be a good promoter to get rich quick instead of just being himself. Especially after his fight with Jared how he thought he clearly won that fight, he was still trying to get fight of the night and promote himself even more which I mean as UFC fighter you should be doing those things, however people respect the truth and the truth is that fight was way closer than he thought and he didn't have the nuts to admit that. Even Suga Sean, one of the sports biggest fighters in terms of promotion after his fight was like yea idk if I won that fight or what but I'll have to go watch it back, now that is the truth, and I think a lot of people respected him for not being like Paddy saying he clearly won that fight, he knew that was a close fight and admitted to it like an honorable fighter. It is going to get interesting when Paddy has to face some real competition....
To put it simple, Paddy's a typical wht person from Liverpool with a big mouth and a chip on his shoulder which isn't warranted
Paddy says he not only won but won all 3 rounds! And yes he’s a celebrity first and a fighter second. Have you seen his KZhead channel? Millions of views! Which hey I respect the hustle but what you do in the octagon is for all to see and the judges might give you a win but that doesn’t do anything in terms of the public’s perspective. He is actively tanking his fandom.
So what happened between him and Helwani?
@@ethnicalbert That seems like a likely scenario
@@korlu01 I agree completely! In the eye of the public his stock has certainly tanked this week. Also yea I checked out his KZhead channel and he does pretty good numbers over there, and the fact he slandered Ariel for being a "content creator", dude should look in a mirror
Thank you Ariel. My MMA fandom has declined over the years but I always tune in to you. Thank you for keeping my fandom alive.
As we all know, it's important to defend against bullies and I hope you can put that BS to rest once and for all. I think you got the majority of support on this one. We all see the true face of Pimblet here. Overall he has a McGregor attitude, but has not yet earned it. Good on you, Ariel!
That post fight octagon interview just showed that Ariel lives rent-free in Paddy's head.
the tory thing was so deep... well played Ariel
10:40 Ariel even says he thinks this mess is mostly down to Paddy's manager, even before this beef started Ariel said he warned Paddy about his manager because he was looking out for him but how does he think Paddy felt? To Paddy he probably thought Ariel was trying to stir things between him and his manager, the manager has disliked Ariel ever since. Its like Ariel has forgotten why the manager hates him 🤣
Ariel- Let's Talk Now Paddy- It's Only Business.
This isn't the first time Paddy has pulled the "I need to get paid" card in one of his vlogs awhile back he mentioned a famous eating youtuber by the name of BeardMeatsFood so Beard mentioned Paddy in response in a video he dropped and invited Paddy to be in one of his eating videos then Paddy in a vlog later made a comment about Beard and them collabing but he said he would need to be paid first... forgetting he mentioned Beard first it wasn't as if Beard just randomly reached out and invited Paddy it was after Paddy mentioned him in one of his vlogs needless to say till this day theirs never been a Paddy appearance on BeardMeatsFood 😆
Thing that gets me is that paddy was so against bully's and mental health but turns out he's exactly who he's talking against
I think the majority of mma fans are with you on this, Ariel
Given how 282 should have been his big push outside of the UK popularity scene to international popularity, and coming off his message of mental health, he really has done a fantastic job tanking his popularity in 1 week. Months of building up goodwill and popularity flushed by some ill thought out decisions and possibly winning the robbery of the year?
But who cares about his drama outside of this channel?
@@ApocalypticSigns when athletes do stuff to make themselves look a complete cnut in front of millions of around the world, you can best believe that those fans that dislike what went down, will be talking about it in comments sections throughout the sports community online... are you new to the Internet or something? I've seen a few of your comments & you sound slower than a snail at a stop sign...🤣
@@ApocalypticSigns nobody cares, we only here to see him get starched.
@@ApocalypticSigns alot of people if nobody cares why are you here commenting? 🤣
Yep ! A few weeks ago i began to like Paddy, after the last week or so - i am disgusted by Paddy. Ariel is good for fighters - we and the fighters need reporters and journalists who the ufc doesnt control and bully...
