Thank u my prince
Wtf man where’s GC and Heelwani timestamp?!?!
🐐
@@djelite07 they trash 🗑 I skip that
Thanks hero!
Mark hunt dropping the N bomb is hilarious 🤣🤣 had to rewind it just to make sure i heard him right.
I support Mark Hunt 100% …I really hope he wins in the end
🤞🤞🤞
Thank God for this comment 🙏
Isn’t the lawsuit over though? I thought it ruled in favor for the UFC. I definitely don’t see the ufc doing anything for him bc if they didn’t while the lawsuit was going on I don’t see them ever doing anything for him now that it’s over and ruled in their favor. Which is sad.
@@misspacino4081 i don't think so, i think it's gone back down to the district court
Full support to Mark Hunt! Shows you how badly the UFC can treat somebody. Michael Chandler shows you how good the UFC can treat you.
You nailed it
he got old. and whiney
Says the guy who didn't fight a roided out Brock Lesnar. Let alone fight at all 😂 @lukelopez
@@luklopskywalk how so?
Mark Hunt♥️♥️♥️💯
He's the man
Ciryl Gane is a very likeable dude. Super chill and terrifiying in the cage.
His opponent is much more terrifying lmao
@@philomerrill3265 I'm not even his opponent ?
@@usernamehere6061 that joke is so bad its embarrassing to be a part of this
@@philomerrill3265 lmaooo
@@philomerrill3265 ? Got any tips on mario cart fam
1:23:38 really interesting stuff. Alotta fighters talk about envisioning things and manifesting. Gane just over here like ahhhh fuggit I'll show up 😂
Much love for Hunt, the fights and finishes he gave us were some of the best ever.
The GC segments have become very funny. Great addition to the show.
Gc > New York ric
Lol stop it, it's so bad, no one cares
Gc and New York ric are both cringe stop.
Sad to see Mark Hunt being so bitter, hes a true legend and deserves better. Hope he wins this case!
He has every right to be. He's been battling for over 5 years now and it should be an open and shut case. They knew brock failed the drug test before the fight and hid the results. Then he also failed after tests. They only do that for valuable fighters. Like when they moved the card for Jones after he failed a test
me too
Completely understand why he feels like this. It also makes a lot of sense. He has every right. Everything he said is true.
I like Michael Chandler a lot, wish he was in the UFC sooner but happy to have him for however long he has left
I remembered when people were disrespecting Chandler leading up to his debut. The man has given us everything and more. 3 fights in and it has been ridiculous.
Hands down my favorite fighter
Why is it you think people were disrespecting him? Genuinely asking. Like what about him did people have an issue with you think?
@@misspacino4081 People will always hold being in a weaker promotion against fighters even if its better for them, but personally his attitude came off as disingenuine at first, but after seeing him for the last year, he's honestly just a positive and super motivated guy and you have to respect it, really grew on me.
@@misspacino4081 they used to say he wasn't good because he was in Bellator that was literally his knock was that he couldn't compete with the 155lb guy in the ufc Myth busted
Mark Hunt playing with the bobble head things as his lawyer was speaking got me lmfaoo
I love the new thumbnails. The illustrations were very fun, but I enjoy the clean look with the photos.
I STAND WITH MARK HUNT. the more i heard him speak the more emotional i got. Great Interview
Love it Ariel, this episode definitely gave 2 different extreme views on the UFC from Chandler to Hunt
I noticed almost every episode Ariel does these low pokes at ESPN . "Something I couldnt do before, I was told not to say this , or interview this person " ... xD . Paints a picture of how bad it got towards the end or he just salty they low ball his salary or a bit of both. At the end of the day(DC 😂) , I'm glad he is back with the MMA Hour proper show duration and no whispers from Corporate Jake .
They probably calling him to go back
Lol very true
Who is corporate Jake? I have heard them say the name a few times but idk who he is
@@misspacino4081 producer at espn or assistant producer , i think not sure but he was telling Ariel to cut off on the time alot or not to say something .
I love getting to hear more from the top MMA referees. Goddard is a legend.
Garbage ref
Great show, love the guest list!
One thing Ariel does amazingly well is that he knows when to listen and let the guest shine and he knows when to lead to get more out of the interaction for the viewers. That's a lot harder than it seems. He just makes it look easy.
Wish the was on everyday hahah. Love it man, I’ve been a fan like a lot of these other legends that support you over your career. Thanks for working so hard and constructing this awesome show.
Pretty sure Colby would love to sign up on that Course with Ref Goddard 👍✊
😂😂😂
i hope mark hunt wins. he deserves to win this, shocked how brock got away with usada
I like Marc Godard. Smart, polite, and respectful guy.
Mark Hunt is a big legend.👍 Fans got your back!!
A great episode! (For the record Ariel, I love “French Prince”)
Ciryl Gane is such a champ
The fact that Mark has a chance to lose when the fact is legitimately they allowed Brock to cheat and win, such a shitty system
That’s because he kept fighting in the promotion after that
What system should we build where u don’t have a chance to lose in court?
Mark hunt is the man. Keep going champ💯
Great one with Gane and Hunt !!! It is crazy this case ^^ Congrats to mark and widh the best in his last combat !
If you didn't get to see Mark Hunt's career, I'm sorry. This guy is one of the hardest punchers in the history of mankind.
4:30 Important conversation, glad we're having it buddy - Stugotz
Mark hunt on brock. "N*gga massive huge"
Lmaooooo
Petition to make herb dean sign up to whatever goddard was talking about. Dude needs to give up reffing
Love the show
Love Ariel he's the Best
this came out on the day i got my blue belt in BJJ. hard to believe almost 2 years ago
I love this show !!! It makes working from home so amazing
Ariel luv the way u pronounce fighter’s name’ 👍🏽👍🏽
lol Ariel's face whenever the feed cuts out!
Ariel. Do time stamps.
Hunt has a point, look what happened to bisping. He lost an eye literally to his opponent on that vitamin called roid. This has to stop. Never understood why Usada would come back with the results after the fight 💪🙏
I like Ciryl more and more every time I hear him speak.
GC you forgot the middleweights 🤦♂️
Great interview with Mark Goddard. Wish refs would get interviewed and paid more. They have such an important job and being competent is a necessity. Whenever I see Goddard or Herzog I don't have to worry about bad calls. Herb is awesome too but sometimes he fumbles hard. Can't judge though, they have a hard job.
He's a clown, one of the worst refs around. Loves to get involved every fight, pure scumbag.
@@patrickrolny1169 Why don't you name the person you're talking about when responding to a comment about 2 people? Then we can decide whether we agree with you or whether we think YOU'RE a scumbag? As it is, we have to assume it MIGHT be the latter...
@@colinhaney you slow? It was about Goddard, or you can't read?
@@patrickrolny1169 You didn't make that clear, obviously
CRYL GANE IS A TOTAL CLASS ACT JUST LOVE THIS MAN !!!!!!
Ciryl and NEWWWW
It's definitely possible... but do you think he will avoid those heavy shots from Francis? Ciryl has been hit before
@@emment.2702 he was able to avoid Derrick and put on a masterpiece, so most likely.
@@Sanaa337 Respectfully, Francis and Derrick are completely different beasts. This is going to be the toughest fight and/or test of Gane career
@@emment.2702 Gane corrected his defensive issues, been boxing with tall olympians too. Plus he breaks rhythm and switches stances more than anyone, that plus his speed = hard to catch him clean. Francis is training wrong for this fight, he should focus on boxing footwork and weigh 20 lbs less than he does right now. Then he would have 5 rounds to catch Gane. At it stands he will be 280 in that cage and have 1.5 rounds to win the fight, after which he is toast. Gane by submission or ref tko stoppage late round 3.
I really like Gane and Chandler. Hope for the best for those guys.
Gane is a GOOD DUDE.
And NEW!!!!! UFC Heavy weight champion The French Prince Ciryl Gane!!!
Loving Mark Goddard on the show, well done Ariel for getting him. Please get more officials and maybe some judges too.
not so goddard
Whats the “special promo” for his code? Or is it just the normal deposit match or one free bet.
Get help
hahahaha. GO chandler. YOUR headphones have the hardest job. That cracked me up
TTTHHHHAAAAAAA MIXED MARTIAL ARTS HOUR BACK IN YER LIFE
Gane is a class act he would be a true great role model for the ufc and kids wanting to fight everyone really...
there's not many fighters that keep my attention. most are boring to listen too but Michael chandler is always a good entertaining listen.
I would be happy not to see snow or have to feel cold weather
No talk for price raise for ufc PPV?
.... The French Prince ??? Ciryl no likey Ariel !!! 🤣🤣🤣
You really wrote that out
That video of Framcis walking past Ciryl is jokes
I don't think Zombie should get the fight but what a crazy world it would be if he just walks at Volk and wins LOL man it would be some wild timeline, but yeah love kz but if Giga gets out the Calvin fight unscathed then he should for sure get the fight, which I think he does, he's very much a dominant fighter atm so would be interesting if he can do the same in the highest of the high levels fights of his career
Did Mark Hunt just say what I think he said about seeing Lesnar pre fight??? Wtf??! 2:30:38
LMAO DEFINITELY SAID IT
Lmao I’m pretty sure he did
😂
N*gga massive
Lol that was awesome
I thought Ariel did have a Mark Hunt action figure on his desk
Tony asked for April/July wtf Chandler is talking about February
Can't wait for that 3 0 5 PPV lol 12:20
Been watching Mark Hunt since his K1 world title win, I hope other (ex) fighters will join his fight against cheaters in the sport.
Ciryl Gane is a very like able man. Gotta say it’s hard not to cheer for him
Poor Mark Hunt, sounds like he blew his money away and you can tell they got nothing on this case. I hope he finds his way.
6:29 👏
🔥
u da man
love mark and i agree the ufc have done plenty of shady things but everyone and their dog knew that BL was on the juice before the fight and he still accepted it
Didn’t you listen? He asked Dana and the UFC multiple times if he was being tested and they told him yes. He trusted Usada and the UFC and they lied to him. That is a crime to lie to him it could have cost him a limb or life itself.
@@Rezzing I absolutely listened but I also remember at the time the fight was signed how obvious it was to the entire public that this is what was going on. It’s hard to truly be that naive. Regardless i still want Mark to get a big bag of cash because all fighters deserve it
@@kobinaireland4058 regardless if it looked obvious to the entire world, he was told by his employer that his opponent was clean and mark is supposed to trust them with his health, regardless I do hope he gets a decent amount from this because what the ufc did was just wrong.
Lowkey booked a flight to vegas after hearing Volk and Yan were fighting. im HOPING they replace it with a big main event
Go up in weight Chandler!
CYRL GANE'S GONNA WIN AND HE'S THE ONE WHO DESERVES TO WIN 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
ARIEL LONG TIME FAN AND YOU ARE THE BEST BUT PLEASE SLOW DOWN WHEN YOUR TALKING PLEASE.... FFS.
couldve done with maybe one more guest
The show is almost 4 hours lol
For MMA's down season, it's still impressive!
Chandler talks like those T.V. priests that are on at 3am.
Areil parle tres bien francais. H'es just toying with us.
Nate Diaz is getting clapped by Chandler. Dustin and Chandler makes the most sense since they are both coming off loses. Ferguson and Diaz makes the most sense.
Ild like to see the ufc get criminaly charged he's right so many people lose so much to cheaters
Would a retired Bisping have a job with ESPN if he hadn't lost an eye?🤔
Whn a match is happening these spar release is to hype the fight...it also is made to get under the skin of the fighter
Big respect to Ariel shawani for calling FIFA football thanks
Rd 3. Let's go Ciryl ✊
Ariel DONT MISS!!!!!
Gane too light on his feet... I got him winning against ngannou 7 times out of ten. Hes definitely the better fighter but all Francis needs is one
Miochic went thru a similar chaos W UFC leading up to his defence W Frances...only DANA WAS PUSHING HIS & NEW...ONLY TO REMAIN & STILL! NOW DANA PUSHING CERYL TO PUSH FRANCES OUT ...FUNNY HOW THAT LOOK$ ...
Mark Hunt: "Chasing the belt 100% wasn't worth it in the end. I should have spent more time with my kids." We are all chasing a belt in our lives that's not worth it. But when do we realize it?
Chandler got hit on purpose to entertain the fans instead of trying to win the fight, fought like an idiot IMO.
Just like Josh Thompson said
Yeah what was the point of a training camp really hahahah
Did you mean in the 2nd and 3rd round? because at that point I'm pretty sure they both knew he was done basically. I really truly believe when Justin said post-fight that after the 1st round he was never in any real danger.
Can Hunt really win a legal case against a multi-billion dollar company that's as ruthless as the UFC?
Helwani show some respect to the great Stipe Miocic. You keep rambling out Jones’ name as next potential opponent (which is fine), but conveniently whisper Stipe’s name out. Happened twice on the show
Pretty sure he knows stipes situation behind the scenes but won't speak on it, wouldn't be surprised if Stipe has something planned soon
@@MADDOGLIAM97 what is stipes situation?
@Misspacino I mean Ariel knows of Stipes situation but is honouring to not break news that he feels is not his place, at least until given the go ahead, happens a lot with Ariel, he gets info but it isn't a done deal and/or has been asked not to release it until the participants are ready to share it with the public
@@MADDOGLIAM97 so what’s stipe situation?
Mma hour lives... Corporates kill... And the machine wins
😂😂😂... That face !!! Dana actually looks great with that lad's hair do 👌
Triple C should get the title shot NO DOUBT
That fool’s gold comment really was a dumb thing for Dustin to say lol karma
There's Neil Magny Vicente Luque Gilbert Burns Belal Muhammad Geoff Neal Sean Brady These guys want to fight Khamzat Chimaev..
They all sound very interesting stylistically, although my last pick would be Geoff Neal.
Plus Darren Till called him out before the Leon/Khamzat fight was even announced, i think it was on Twitter. No one seemed to notice
Another 4 hour episode of the MMA Hour ey? 😂 Petition to change the name
Just saiyan, Mr hunt. My non ufc job sucks pretty bad too. God speed🙏🏻
I totally support Mark Hunt and his lawsuit but this interview worries me. I agree with most of what he says, but his unwillingness to see other points of view, combined with his willingness to talk so freely and conflate many different issues, leads me to fear that they will make errors in arguing this case which the UFC could easily poke holes in. He's kind of brainwashed himself to see things his way, and that's fine, but his lawyer needs to be careful what she says if they want to successfully argue such SPECIFIC grievances.
ariel, could you speak to the dangers of taking your eye off the ball? in other words, it's all mental. i noticed that when chandler knocked oliveira down, he said in the post fight interview that he thought "omg I'm going to be the world champ tonight". he took his eye off the ball. and it cost him big time. he should've been thinking about the finish. i noticed the same thing occur in porier oliveira. dustin knocked him down and he said in between rounds that he thought "im going to be the champ tonight". it cost him. my suggestion is that whoever can keep the mental together better usually comes out on top.
