Ariel Helwani Reacts To Heated Dricus du Plessis vs. Israel Adesanya UFC 305 Press Conference 

He is a reporter......he was reporting what they were saying, leave your hate-filled bias out of it. Ariel did not cause this, they have not liked each other since their kickboxing days

@@donaldseigel4101 leave your ball gobbling out of it. He clearly instigates fights.

​@@eggm0neyLook at his last name. His comments makes sense.

@@eggm0ney Ariel is a MMA and Boxing reporter by trade, it dosent take an F'in diploma to figure out they would be fighting with or without Ariel. What in the F do you think they do for a living.....rocket science.

@@donaldseigel4101 u changin the topic. We’re not saying they wouldn’t be fighting. I’m saying that Ariel played into the race angle last year don’t deny that u rahttt

He’s a worm

It's a nose thing and a leftoid media thing. They are out to get certain people.

He never brought up race at that presser. He brought up "african" which is about being African born and raised, which DDP is African born and raised by isn't African by blood. He brought up DDP discrediting the "three kings" of the time in which DDP made those statements about being the only African born fighter doing things big in the UFC or whatever. But he didn't mention "race" or discussed things thoroughly in relation to "race".

@@whydopeoplealwayssayuhm Africa is a continent not a race. Dutch Afrikaners settled the Cape of South Africa by themselves.

@@whydopeoplealwayssayuhm The Dutch Afrikaners settled South Africa. Africa is a continent not blood.

Izzy posted a Hitler video?? Hmmpf. Send link. This sounds like lies

Easy. Hes a mma journalist. Ariel doesn’t know anything about politics & no one wants that from him. Izzy also has free speech to post what he wants. Go cry.

@@NewSchoolAshernah let’s be real if a white fighter he didn’t like like Colby or Strickland did this he’d be crying. He’s in love with Izzy so he ignored it

​@@NewSchoolAsher Ariel literally gaslights Dricus and Hill on a daily basis and often talks about political stuff.

​@Gibbs316 100% he'd dedicate a whole segment to it like he did about Dana & his wife, but will ignore Jon Jones ever doing the same

Ya it was 🥱

Someone said it felt like a boxing press conference and I agree. It's so boring.

No different to pre Conor press conferences. Clearly a casual

That face off was amazing they said so much without saying anything.

😂

Ariel wasn't there during their interviews, and he is just reporting on what they said, quit drinking the haterade

@@donaldseigel4101 I mean when DDP and Izzy have appeared on MMA Hour Ariel wouldn't stop bringing the real african champ comments, he stoked the flames.

@@henrysmith5343 Those comments were already all over the media.

​@@donaldseigel4101and he brought them up during the interview, hence the hypocrisy

​@@henrysmith5343don't even bother. The guy is trying to cling to a defense of Ariel.

He's like Joe Rogan. They both love strong black men.

So?

@@ItsameAlex he says that he hates it, which isn’t true.

@@MrPipesarecalling not a big deal

@@ItsameAlex then stop yappin

@@MrPipesarecalling one word vs your 20 words. You would be the woman i would be the man if ai processed word count that's what it would deduce.

DDP acts like if you were born somewhere but moved to a different country you can no longer claim that country, I'm Samoan but I live in Australia can I not say I'm Samoan anymore? And if I was to win a ufc championship would that mean I can't say I'm a Samoan champion?

@@lubu5082 Did Dricus say that Izzy can't claim to be Nigerian? I thought he was saying that he is the only champion who was born in Africa, stayed in Africa his whole life, used African resources, trained in Africa, teammates from Africa, and didn't go to any other country to use their resources. If you live in Australia, train in Australia, eat in Australia, use Australian resources, have all your teammates from Australia, I would consider you an Australian champion in whatever sport you won in. I would also recognize that you are Samoan. I think Dricus' point is very solid, but it is just my opinion.

@@Mr-E. I said he "acts like you can't claim that country", All 3 were born and raised in Africa and are full African, who cares what gym you are working out at and what food you're eating like what does that even prove 🤔 If you have done any research on African history you would know white Africans migrated from Europe, so if you wanna get technical DDP isn't even African by blood his family moved there years ago, and he lives in Hatfield which is probably the richest and safest area in Africa, Francis came from Cameroon one of the most deadly places to live, no places for him to train at all should he stay there so people can say "you're a real african"? And Francis built an MMA gym in cameroon last year, what has DDP built if he's such a real african

@@lubu5082 It proves that you can win a UFC world title while still residing in Africa, in an African gym, with African training partners. Not needing another countries resources to do so. The exact same thing was said about Mike Bisping when Leon was about to fight for the belt, but nobody cared because Leon is a different color, so its okay for him to say it.

@@lubu5082 and by your logic African Americans can't claim American? Black french people like Cedric Doumbe arent actually french because their blood is african? Leon can't claim British ? and he was BORN IN JAMACA lmao. and your speaking about DDP living in a nice area when Izzys parents were wealthy enough to maids who literally bathed Izzy until he was a teen. I'm sure most Africans relate to that.

Lol. Another body language expert

@@mrspiff6955they all are

​@@mrspiff6955Yeah we are human beings. We can read body language bot.

​@@mrspiff6955it's got nothing to do with body language. He literally said "yeah those comments got to me a little bit" so what are you even talking about?

@@wheelchairmafia9685 it wasn't crazy heated but I don't think it's a stretch. I mean look at the face off, it's a long face off with Izzy saying native African terms that are disrespectful. Izzy also explains why there is animosity from the past

Take a chill pill ya dill

Oh yeah, it was Ariel who caused this......NOT. Ariel is a reporter, it is his job to report this, if you actually listened to the conference Israel admitted they have had issues since they were Kickboxers.

​@@donaldseigel4101We are surprised at the last name... People no longer trust the media because of people like Ariel and rightfully so. Media spin and manipulation is beyond commonplace. We have had it. Isreal had a problem with what? Dogs?

​@@marsbrown4834No.

African born, raised and trained. The real deal.

You clowns will still turn on DDP after Izzy embarrasses him. 🤦🏻‍♂️

​@@mrspiff6955You're drunk

@@mrspiff6955 I don’t have a rooting interests but one guy claims Africa the other born raised and still there

​@@mrspiff6955How will anyone turn on DDP??

he didn't say that tho. he made it up after the fact

Have you ever seen Pretoria South Africa? It's night and day different to the rest of South Africa. Lots of apartheid remnants. Of course you all will not care about the truth outside of the narratives for supporting your tribalism.

Kefe

Kefe

Izzy is the Hardest goat middleweight Dricus was shaking in his colonizer boots and will be humbled by true the true African blood of the stylebender

The event itself will be great though. I'll bet they throw on another press event for people in the West because this was under the radar for most Americans unless you're a big fan of UFC

As an Aussie too the promoter was trash but otherwise it was great.

Yeah he’s out to lunch on this one.

so do people like nina drama t and she's the opposite race of ariel

✡️

The hypocrisy is astounding.

scoreboard

Bingo! He is also said "if you don't know the history of South Africa, you just look into Apartheid" and I was like "yeah but don't click 'most recent' or you might find out about Palestine" 😂

mad comment

A Joo trying to stir up conflict amongst other races? That's totally unheard of.

All jokes aside I never understood why the UFC didn't get behind professional arm wrestling, much more enjoyable than the slap nonsense and Dana could've made it huge

What about you personally. Do you want it or not?

​@@ItsameAlexAriel was instigating that bs, and through deceptive means, and now he's tryna say we don't want or need that drama lol dude is a snake. Fits his own people's stereotype to a tee.

@BarryMcCockiner-em5sv very true.

@ItsameAlex yes, I like the authenticity, because that's what their true beef is about.

He's a European in Africa. He's white. He isn't African

A poes is a useful thing

@@maverickat4544 yeah well, I can't argue that.

Not wearing his grandma’s necklace

The champ called for him. Same as omalley v Vera. Same as Leon and Colby I believe. Same as stipe and Jones.

@@jackderaway Dana’s team make fights, not the fighters. This isn’t boxing. Nice try though.

Garbage sport

What do you think the reason is. I mean why he got the immediate comeback title shot?

@@d.n.e7454 Sorry my delay awsering this. I my opinion the reason being this decision is becase in fact there is a huge number of fans beind adesanya's brand, this kind of fans that come from naruto genaration and anime stuff, and they want to see him fight just because of this "style bender" brand that he did very well building in the start of is MMA carrer. But those fans are not fans of the sport really... And I explain why here: he had a nice brand he was winning that was fine but when he started losing he wasn't humble digesting those losses, he said a lot of crap to the point he was only making himself look more like a clown rather than a style bender.... He was not honest with him self and he keeps not being honest with him self just from the fact that he wanted this fight instead of griding that spot again like any other fighter should. Know Alex Pereira his main rival is a big name and a bumig star and the fact that he has a win against Alex in a match that seemed very strange to me, they are giving that opportunity to Adesanya out of the back of Alex work and merit, like being carried to an imidiate title shot just because he once beat Alex the champion of the division above, and I repeat just to give those not real fans, the anime fans something to make some PPV points on a undeserved fight at all.

Izzy def ain’t 6”4 tho,

You have a tendency to watch Ariel videos and put down negative comments. Calling Ariel a snake in one of them too. You just can't keep your words to yourself can you? He has a talk show. It's his platform, if you don't like it just don't watch it🤯

Just like costa was? DDP isn’t much better or different than costa. Or vettori for that matter.

@@jackderaway Costa weak af. Vettori same. DDP is a different beast. Can’t compare. Just watch n see Izzy lose bubba. Did you not see Strickland destroy him. Lol cmon

Loosing by decision is it destroying?

@@impactlivestv7903 Izzy didn’t win one round. Let’s start with winning just one round before you think he can beat a better fighter in DDP.

they aren't. izzy is right.

100% the opposite izzy going to sleepiezzz

I've flown to Aus from South Africa. 14 hours from Johannesburg to Sydney. Another 2. 5 hour flight from Sydney to Perth.

@@Clinton221087 How does that make sense?
