GOAT STATUS
Chuuur 🤙
Why do more channels not do this.
Something I've noticed over his last two interviews - Eugene Bareman is extremely honest
Doesn’t make sense talking about it being hard to engage Robert cuz he was waiting to counter when that’s adesanyas whole style and why his fights are boring if his opponent is throwing himself in line of fire while adesanya sits back and complains if his opponents do it
@@killmoncher7706 you need Grammarly my brother
Nah depends who he’s talking about to be honest
@@lambsauce9544 nah its internet only losers like u care
Just watched the Modaferri interview. That woman is a winner through and through. Her energy and smile is super contagious and no matter what shes going to be a winner in anything she does in life. Much respect to Roxy!
Shes like 24-23 or something.... No offense but thats pretty sad. She should have stopped at 3 losses. We shouldn't reward people who fail at what they do over and over, hows she inspiring on ANY level?
@@holeindanssock156 because she did what she loved and made it to the UFC. She wasn’t a great fighter by any means. She seems like an awesome person, so good luck to her.
Imagine being so horrible at what you do you’re patronized as being so great in a public setting Humans do not realize how patronizing this is. As they don’t live in reality. Saying she’s shitty at fighting which she is wrong because she’s a nice and a good person. Imagine being a massive failure at you’re job and you’re applauded because your nice outside of work. Twilight zone
@@holeindanssock156 26 and 21 by the way only knocked out ONCE in 46 pro fights dude
@@holeindanssock156 lol so negative
Cannonier was a savage in that fight. Couldn’t imagine taking those elbows
I think he can beat Izzy and become champion.
He defs can but izzy striking on another level
Roxy's improvement over the years was amazing.
@@mkrmmd1162 something tells me you didnt actually see her first fight back in 2003.
booker T is such a legend! i thought it was his voice at the post fight conference! - unmistakable!
Cannonier is such a stand up guy 💪🏽
Really is. I don't think he will win but I glad he got his title shot.
@@lukemurray4950 he doesn’t have a title shot yet.
@@furhadnasserjah123 nobody else to get it now, he´ll get it soon, Izzy wants to fight more this year, they´ll make it happen
In nz Eugene is what we call a hearty fella , he's as real.as it gets, knows the nz life , real g
Booker T was surprisingly a great interview. TOTALLY expected it go south. Would not mind seeing him go back on.
Ariel usually doesn't rub salt in wounds when it comes to fighters who lose, but with Johnny Walker he said, "remember when you said you would take him to hell... didn't happen did it". I don't recall him ever doing that in the past.
12:00 the second anik spoke about the hand I knew it was nonsense. If any of them actually watched izzy's past fights they would've known he does it all the time
My thoughts exactly, it’s a small nuance but I’m surprised they didn’t realize this cause he always does it. Also anik was informed by Joe Rogan which further demonstrates how Joe isnt as informed as he was before, which is why I like bisping and Felder more
Yeah but he also wasn't throwing it 🙄🤣
Why do you think Cruz called them out on doing their research? Bunch of baboons on the panel at times and Michael Bisping was the biggest clown last week.
Yh Rogan says that kind of stuff a lot tbh, he must’ve been high 😂
@@cristianmontoya1195 rogan wasnt there dumbshit
@1:49:35 GC he wasn’t writing down what Buffer was saying. He was referencing the anime death note and miming how someone uses the death note to describe how they kill their victim before it happens… aka he was writing how he’d KO Whittaker, before it happened.
They don't watch cartoons in NY
Missed the show 😢 watching back now thanks guys
lol shut up nerd no one cares about you.
JC is the man! Love listening to him almost as much as watching him fight!! Hoping he goes all the way!!!
Booker was great interview. Great show ariel. See ya on substack and the greenroom
Great interview with Roxanne! I don't care what Dana says Ariel you are a good man. Thank you!
Really enjoyed listening to booker speak! Would def support him as a analyst or reporter!
loved it all besides rics picks. no hate towards him personally but tune out every week
Why would someone be mean to the smartest MMA journalist like u? You are the best
Respect to GC for sticking with the festivities.
Roxanne Modafferi is a truly special human being. Her aura, demeanour and presence transcends MMA and offers a great example for the world as a whole. Thank you Rox
She’s just a good person. Terrible fighter to watch or pay money to do her job. That’s what makes it so bizzare someone so horrible at her job which is professional fighting at the highest level is know for being nice and a good person That and prize fighting and being bad at the job doesn’t go hand in hand It’s just how pussified man has become. Where they applaud this. And doesn’t realize the farce that girls like her on Ppv. Sure respect as a human that’s great certainly not as a fighter she’s so horrible at it. I guess lady fight fans can say she’s so nice. Wmma is so horrible.
@@oldironsides4107🤔... I guess the meaning of 'transcend' has eluded you 😑
Well said!
The amount of times I swallowed listening to Canonier in this interview…
54:29 All these other guys have only ever tried to shoot on me - Jared Cannonier
Booker is the man. You can tell he is a massive mma fan, a ton of knowledge on the sport.
I want GC on as a co-host for an entire episode! GC and Helwani!
No
Roxanne did a great job in the fight. Good luck in your bright future happy warrior 💖
GC your efforts are appreciated
Nice try GC sister.. 🙄
Remember, life is the hardest thing you're ever going to deal with in life! 2:22 and 26 seconds, Booker T quote! Lol
Aerial what happened ar 21:40 seems like you cut something Eugene said?
gr8 roxy interview
Ariel saying he thought it was 49-46 Izzy and doesn't see any way Rob won the fight is the most biased take ever. Ariel himself said it was 48-47 Izzy yesterday. He looks desperate that Izzy isn't giving him any attention. 😂😂
Ariel posted 49-46 right after on his IG post Saturday night.. don't agree but I did see that post.
🤡🤡🤡
Anyone who actually watched the fight knows that it was 49-46 Izzy possibly 48-47 Izzy. Anyone who thought rob won that fight should be taken as seriously as a flat earther
@@samjames8690 what did Izzy do in that fight besides dropping rob in the first and throwing a couple leg kicks. Izzy lands more strikes, but if you consider them significant, you yourself are the flat earther. Rob did a lot more, harder shots, pushed the action, shot multiple takedowns and controlled the clench
@@furhadnasserjah123 😂 bro what did rob do? Nothing. They’ve fought twice and robs been dropped three times and rocked five. Rob hasn’t threatened Izzy once 😂🤣
Loved Cannonier talking about what everyone thinks about the live chat/low effort trolls.
1:01:13 How tf did Ariel get Ray Charles on the show?
Should have had Neil Young come in and do the colour commentary.
Yeah and most ppl aware of the situation would’ve tuned out.
I Like the way cannonier thinks.
I would take Rogan and Goldie back together over all the new ppl
Ahhhhh nostalgia, the good old days when there was literally no analysis at all and just LOUD NOISES
Bisbing should retire from commentary
Goldberg's commentary is levels below the current UFC standard.
@@thosewhodig still get rid of bisbing
As terrible as Godie was at actual commentary, he had iconic catch phrases that made it fun. No one doing it now has that.
Booker T is so dope
Convincely... The first fight yes
1:50:02 the guy to be Izzy's fierce rival is Periera for sure. I really doubt Periera can make it to the title shot, but if he can, it'll be a huge huge fight and Izzy's sternest test
Why are ppl doubting pereira ability to reach a contender shot. Dude trains with LHW champion glover a savage on the mat. In his debut he did indeed get taken down, but got right up didn’t take any damage.
Heheh
The Invasion was the best storyline ever. Fight me 😤
What a badass quote. “I hope his brain is ok”- Jared cannonier
Came for Booker
Booker t is a honest person
booker T is the man, get bobby knuckles on
If you aren't a Jared fan after this, you need to look at yourself in the mirror. As a dad, this was beautiful.
Got motion sickness after watching that Cannonier interview. Hold the God’damn phone still
Let’s go the kills gorillla! Such a good guy!!
Okay I might be a complete idiot but how is a triangle 360 degrees? 😅 like honest question too...
i’m over here trying to do geometry tryna figure out how this makes sense hahaha 😭
It’s not, it’s 180
@@Realhater1352 lolol that’s why I’m asking the question. Trying to figure out what the heck he Cannonier was saying
Ariel is such a good friend to Rick. He adds nothing new or interesting in his segment, yet Ariel always lets him have his shine.
Remember when they used to say you wouldnt get head trauma in MMA?
Feel Joe Rogan, as the guy he is n we all love, opted not to work the event so as not to overshadow the fights n negatively impact the PPVs with all the noise happening around him outside.
I love him but wish he’d quit apologizing and just go about his business
Damn no On the Nose.. much prefer that to Ric’s Picks if it’s one or the other. Loved the show regardless!
On the Nose is on the Wednesday shows
@@thosewhodig Ah, thanks for the info!
I thought bookers pic in the thumbnail was Fernand Lopez ..was thinking why is he on here today lol
I love Jared
I can't wait to hear how we're going to miss Adesanya when he's gone
Booker T by Bad Bunny is fireeeee 🔥
1:51:00 Alex is that guy
Weasel had the breakdown and went through the fight and after said rob 3-2
That's why you casuals don't understand MMA. That's the guy who said Gane beat Francis 🤣 there is no explanation for Rob winning that fight. Out pointed, got knocked down, failed most of the takedowns and ones he got were only held for a matter of seconds. Izzy landed the more damaging strikes. There is literally no argument for a Rob won.
@@lukemurray4950 none. These people are delusional
@@lukemurray4950 rob was jabbing his head off landing oblique kicks and takedowns submition attempt. Izzy stood at range and leg kicked
I don’t know who won the fight Honestly but at the end of the day no one try to win they were both content going to the cards
Weasels breakdowns gave rob more credit than he was due. But also he said that watching the fight he felt Izzy won. And that it was a justified win. Just some bs judging criteria and him being a weasel
Izzy knew booker T was there. Why else would he make a big deal out of his number of title defences - saying that it was his 5th - and reiterating it so many times, immediately then 'noticing' booker T. Come on people!
He said he was still interim champ when he beat Whittaker the first time to become the undisputed champ tho, so it could just be a reference to the first time he beat Whittaker. But I think Ariel sent Booker T there so he could get a WWE interview in since Ariel works for them now and he isn't allowed to go to the UFC anymore. So maybe they notified Izzy as well.
I dont need to hear from tiuvasa every 3 days. He was on dc rc and the mma hour last week thats enough for me.
Israel "The Legkick Merchant" Adesanya! She is the most boring point fighter champ in the UFC
"I know your mad, I know your mad!" Stay mad! 🤣 AND STILL!!! 👑🏆🥊
HAHAHAH She
wait...where's Tai?
Otp
Probably too drunk to use Zoom
Robert won that fight I'd say 2 3 4 and 5 rounds issy did nothing but go forward how did he win?? Please tell me
Eugene funny talking bout it’s hard to engage when someone’s waiting to counter u, is that not exactly what Adesanya does?!?
Rob 2,4 and 5 wake up to yourself eugene
Joe Rogan taking all kinds of L's lol He said the same thing last time Isreal fought. He should have known that is what izzy does as distraction mechanism to make the fighter look at the hand or make him think something is wrong with it. Izzy is weird like that. He into all those superhero cartoon stuff. He powering up his hand so to speak. lol.
To many shrooms
No bam bam blasphemy!!!
using cannonier x whitaker as a argument that jared has no chance against izzy really should re-watch that fight and learn a little about it. cannonier broke his god damn ARM in like beginning of round 2.... and almost got whitaker in the 3rd round! he will not stop, has an iron chin, strong as an ox, is 6-1 in MW. i wanna see that fight! he probably have a better shot that costa and vettori tbh
cannonier is also much more of the same frame as izzy or at least a LHW
49 - 46 for izzy??? 🤣 nah
Tell me a round dominated by Rob ??? And I mean DOMINANTED???
@@theoneusa128 why does that matter LOL go read the rules
He’s insinuating the rounds were very close so 4-1 rounds is very possible
@@dumbfailurekms you need to read the rules! It was a clear 4-1. The stats say that the fight says that. The damage on Rob compared to Izzy face days that. Rob didn't do anything! He was even hugging at the end of the fight instead of letting his hands go.
@@jordanclarke6450 all the rounds were close apart from the 1st. But it was clearly all Izzy rounds apart from the last.
Props to Ariel for telling Roxanne she can’t pick 2 losses as her best fights to showcase herself. Lol
Roxy. Don't ever wear those glasses again. Lol. WTF
Next thing we'll see is Izzy shooting for Jared's legs...
Not intelligent if you didn't think Rob didn't win that fight? SMH Give me a break. I call that 48-47 just like the two other judges did and there is a case that the fight could be swayed in favor of Rob. If you watch that back, there's not much Izzy did convincingly. He got the 1st round and got off some leg kicks and takedown escapes throughout the rest of the fight but that's really about it. Rob from Round 2 onward set a better tone and pace than Izzy, stuck Izzy with good jabs and managed several takedowns that were meaningful when you consider the frequency he was doing them at, even though Izzy eventually popped up from all of them. It definitely wasn't dominance for Rob in the sense of the word, but he set the tone much more so than Izzy did. Rob understood he needed to be patient and choose his shots wisely in order to not get caught. That was wise. And there were a few times when he went for it with a KO type strike. I know judges need to see something more clear and dynamic to give it to the challenger, so I understand why Rob fell short. But to call that fight 49-46 in Izzy's favor or to say Izzy dominated 4-1 is a blind bias straight up. If you are objective with the fight, it's clear to see Rob was more effective in his efforts.
Watching the Romero Izzy fight again, there is a case for Romero winning that one (in a very lackluster way). That whole "have to beat the champ" philosophy is nonsense and doesn't apply in any other sport. Imagine beating the sprinting champion by 1/10th of a second, but because they have to "beat the champ"... then that 1/10th of a second isn't good enough? Or imagine winning a basketball game 111 to 110, but it doesn't count because the team only won by 1 point.
I think it was a clear 3-2 for Izzy but upon rewatch, Round 2 is more of a swing round than I initially realised, heck I could even give it majority Draw. But 4-1 Izzy is a bit outrageous, Rob definitely won 4 & 5.
I think Rob landed the better shots in round 2 and when you take that and add the wrestling, I think he won the 2nd clear. Izzy didn’t really do anything but feint and land 1 or 2 shots to make up for it.
Ariel doesn't care about the Rogan story but talks about it for 30 minutes.
yes i think most people that follow the fight game long enough will agree that you can't just survive against the champ...you gotta beat the champ clearly...with a finish...or clear dominance
Don't worry Jared. The shot is yours. Everyone accepts it.
I agree izzy won 4 - 1
It was clear as anything. Close rounds but clearly Izzy 4-1. Even the stats say this. I find it funny how this man makes grown man cry in anger that he beats their favourite fighters 😭🤣
@@lukemurray4950 the stats dont say this Most judges gave 3:2 to izzy But the actual stats Shows something different Rob did enough to win
@@lukemurray4950 Man, I'm Australian. Was rooting for Rob. but based on what i saw during the fight. the fight itself, not looking at stats or numbers. Even i had it 4-1 for Izzy.
4-1 Izzy I’m baffled by the argument. I will say I was surprised how many times he made Izzy miss. Nevertheless 4-1 easy.
@@stocktonslap209 Look at the stats Rob won everything besides leg kicks He won the fight
ROXY
I think Johnny Walker and Santos fixed that fight. Honestly. It's exactly what you would expect if two guys arranged not to KO each other to collect a pay cheque, risk free.
Lets cut out New York Ric from the show. Everything else was amazing!
Ariel would have love for Spotify to shut down Rogan
All the hate against Israel is just how uncomfortable people feel seeing a true confident black African man. Israel is a great example to emulate.
Then why does everyone love Jared? Half of all champions are black and many are beloved. Think before you speak.
@@HappyAccident06 Usually when they can't come up with anything good, they throw in race lol
Ooo
How can airel comment on a fight that he has not rewatched straight up dumbest take iv everheard
The definition of patronizing = this Roxeanne modaferri interview
You said Izzy was going to fight five times in 2022 Ariel. I'm very disappointed in you.
YaYa
😂, 😊
Yea, I dont care about the Joe Rogan stuff. Stopped listening to him 3 years ago because he just talks about the same stuff and tells the same stories.
Good for you kid.
I hope Johnny Walker left that horrible coach Kavanaugh... oh crap he did not :(
Ariel the lib
Yeah, no way rob won that fight. Again I could see the argument for 3 -2 Izzy but rob did not win. He only landed his jab and some takedowns that he did nothing with. People saying rob won is crazy!
God New York Ric could you stop using um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um
