UFC 303: Ariel vs Bootlicker Bisping.

🙌🙌🙌

Ariel is right. Again.

Mike's gonna have the put an eye patch on that good eye make it a bit competitive

If someone broke that big of news in any other sport and it wasn’t confirmed for a week everyone else would have a laugh. As usual Ariel takes a little joke as an assault on his character and burns another bridge just so he can say i was right and get another trophy.

@@JakeLuna-su4pk where was the "little joke"?

Bisping legit have CTE or something. He said Fury was respectful with his loss to Usyk even though he was blaming the war on the judges not giving him the decision.

Agreed. (And I've given my fair share of criticism towards Ariel.)

​@@PeapodzillaIt was always a little joke, Ariel should take stuff and move on but he's got a chip on his shoulder and always tries to insert himself in the conversation.

And Ariel did an Ariel. Whined and cried about everybody picking on him. 😂😂😂😂

@zddd3aaa Not at all, he just stood up for himself after Bisping's totally unnecessary comments about him. That's very clear for people of logic

What did Bisping do?

I been watching bisping for a while now I honestly think they were joking about this stuff . I think Ariel over exaggerating , he honestly sounds salty . But I love them both , bisping is one of my faves . Bisping was wrong but that doesn’t mean he was being disrespectful .

Womp womp.

You must not follow very many sports or journalists in general. You don’t reveal your sources.

@@samkersten9539this world is so lost on how things worked when it seems every one knew just a decade ago

Ariel : I know things you couldn't possibly know. Here's what I can say. No one is injured. 2 days later Conor is injured. Ariel : See! What did I tell you, it wasn't a criminal issue.

Used crackhead logic

​@@DoubleDOwnagedamn I didn't know all that part

I don’t dislike Ariel but to say he asks the hard questions is kind of silly.

You’re a casual then or just joined the sport

​@@giacalonebuilding4443?

​@@giacalonebuilding4443?

@@giacalonebuilding4443 Casual go hate somewhere else look at the big picture half of the clips you get from your favorite MMA social media are from Ariels show I wonder why

Yeah, weird take by Bisbing. Ariel was doing exactly what he’s suppose to do, and I love bisping but don’t think he was joking when he first said it

@@Zero-ig4vpBisping was dead serious and I dont get it. Bisping acts like he hasn’t speculated about any fights in the past either. It’s just so odd, I dont want to buy that he’s a shill but it may very well be

I like bisping, but his attitude towards Ariel is so weird. If anything, he does a lot of speculating without providing any facts. Go through his channel. It’s all speculating lol 😂 the hypocrisy

Kinda disrespectful by Bisping but Ariel should have addressed him privately not call him a boot licker on his show. I wouldn't apologise

@@DRAGONUTZ-84why address him privately ? Bisping didn’t have that respect and publicly crapped on Ariel in front of thousands of his fans that watch his podcast.

What did Bisping do? Can someone give context please

@@Hugosthecatsame thing Schaub talked about

Lets be honest he got the gig with the ufc so as he wouldnt sue them, for them putting him in with a juiced up belfort and losing a eye because of it

@@mrc.p8423don’t be so stupid.

@@Hugosthecat 37:00

All of Dana’s fanboys

Hold on did they delay the news until after the deadline to refund tickets?

Cool your shill jets. Don't forget at the mid - point of the proceedings he was also telling people this fight is now happening...!! #selectivememory

@@beejj6190 watch the video! He clearly explains at that time there was optimism for the fight to still happen as Conor and his team were attempting to carry on despite the injury. Conor must have suffered another setback in the following days hence the fight being called off for good. You’re the one with selective memory as when Ariel had made that comment about the fight still being on it was in regard to where they stood that present time but that things could change and the status was day to day.

Yup, for those like me that were planning on going to the event he saved me the headache of buying the tickets, flight, hotel, etc. only to have to cancel everything once the new officially broke.

Did he really kept us in the loop or what the ppl behind the scene want him to convey. Ariel is to MMA what Cramer is to the stock market 😂

Barely anybody even doubted it

@@baosommurr4566 did you watch the video? He literally explains why he was cryptic about it out of respect to his source. Conor’s camp didn’t want his injury known at the time because they were still trying to make the fight happen.

@rainman11 then don't tell the public that your "very confident" the fight is still happening. You can't pull the victim card when the story blew up on your face.

He’s still a beta

@@Matt-uk8dvnah that’s just you projecting

Its not hard to win arguments when you keep getting layups from guys like Schaub, Pimblett and Bisping. Helwani is still one of the most dishonest people in MMA.

This is because he doesn't accept when he is wrong, there are many times he got dealt with but he wouldn't show you that would be, got watch some of the independent MMA channels they expose him every other day.

Helwani knew about as much as the average fan over the last 2 weeks. He's not a journalist, he's a bottom feeder.

I am speculating, but maybe Chandler gets Conor at MSG and maybe a bigger payday plus more time to get bigger. Glass half full.

Michael "Backstab" Bisping.

Very slimy behavior by bisping (and I don't even like Ariel either) but he was supposed to be his friend and he do him like that and for no reason? Paddy Pimblet behavior.

Biggest L take I’ve ever seen from Bisping. Nobody ever thought he was a journalist, Ariel is THE journalist.

@@nikobellic9004It wasn’t that big of a deal at all

Cokehead McNuggets with his 1 win in almost 9 YEARS AND STILL HAS YOU GROUPIES CHEERING FOR HIM. LOVE MY BOXING

Fr. I was dying 😂😂

It's such an incredible story that the only reason Bisping became champion and his life changed forever because he told him about the short notice title fight. Ariel is just cringe

Oh they know... That's the point lol

Good point I never thought of it that way. As a massive UFC I hope to go to a UFC event in Vegas one day. Being that I'm in Australia it's likely I would pick a big card or a big name being on it. Connor would def be draw for me. I'm not a casual so it's not necessarily for Connor specifically, but he def creates a spectacle. The build up, the fans, the walk out etc. Even though Alex and Jiri are still a great fight id rather know earliest possible before I plan probably a once in a lifetime trip

Loooool

you mean 10-7

@@gingjok your right I shouldn’t be trying to comment at work haha.

(((no reason)))

Because their Daddy is Dana…

Ariel's a toss, what are yous on about

What about the Ariel and Chael beef? Did you forget about that??

@@The_RealDonthat wasn't even a beef and Ariel said he was wrong but honestly Chael was arguing in circles that time they cool still thi

It was fantastic

I knew that, the time Dana told him to sit down when he tried his McGregor act coming in late and being mouthy and he sat down and shut up like Dana told him.

Eh?. How the hell did Ariel help him get to the top? his he an MMA trainer, no, they just worked at Fox for a short time together and he interviewed Bisping. did he help him set up his podcast,, no. Did he help him on the mic, no. he seems to be trying to take credit for all of Bispings success and you believe the dude. Dude, if this is all it's taken, you were never a fan anyway and I'm sure he won't give a monkeys anyway. The fact Ariel's trying to take credit for Bisping winning the title is that of a snake, Which Ariel is as we all know. All the dude did is ring Bisping up to say Weidman is out. It's Dana that gave him the shot, or do you actually think Ariel had any influence with Danae giving the shot to him on such late notice when the other guys were out injured? Dana offered him the shot on a couple of weeks notice and Bisping took the chance and won. I bet all those interviews Bisping gave to Ariel were free and helped Ariel out a lot to establish himself, so it's a two way street. Ariel claims they're friends but then says they haven't talked in 2 years. Why didn't he ring him like a man if they were friends and say he was upset with what he said?, is there something wrong with Ariels phone?

@@BJJPaulos74can’t believe I got to the end of that reply. Totally agree

Juicing tf up with costa

😂 please u sound really soppy.

Do you not know how to skip ahead? Do you not know how to speed up the video?

Get better friends

Jed I goodman

And here he is standing up for himself. What did you want him to do? Do nothing?

For me it was when bisping ignored the Dana white wife slap story

@@freeman0048 That was a big deal for me as well. I haven't given a dime to UFC or ESPN since.

Only difference is Bisping doesn't do ANY journalism. He waits for actual journalist to do their job so he can talk about it after the fact 😅

lmao

Spot on mate

tune in next time to find out

Ariel said both outcomes as if he really knew or predicted this. 😂. And not to mention he ruled Alex to fill in cause of his broken toes.
