Hardy is a poser

@@goatmansasquatch1485 good thing nobody cares for your opinion here

Best in the business

The only champ status he’ll ever achieve 🤣

@@Talkin_MMA I mean it's a pretty good title. Guy was a great fighter and even more importantly a great guy too. More than most people will ever achieve

@@Talkin_MMA wht you ever achieved in your life . Dan is a former title challanger , a millionaire .. i think he has achived 10 folds of what u will ever achieve ..

You really gave urself a 🤣 for that comment. Comedic genius we got here people.

Bro I see your point in general but let's be real a big bad ex fighter got in2 a verbal with a FEMALE cohost and lost the argument and took it to the next level and pushed his weight around, it might be normal for a fighter in his environment to act like a bully, but not in a normal work space let alone to a WOMAN. After all that he decides to jump in and shout at herb, which is so bad and unprofessional because his team mate got beat bad, and now says herb was coming towards me fast lol. Ufc had no choice mate.

@@was786loaded which co-host are you talking about?

@@was786loaded He didn’t “jump in” lmao. He shouted and stood up. And he didn’t do it because he was his teammate, he did it because he was clearly unconscious and Herb was making the winner punch a defenseless man in the head even more to secure his W

@@was786loaded man, this version of events you've listed is so far from the truth it literally looks like you've manipulated the narrative purposefully due to some grudge against him. You literally didn't even get the order of the events remotely correct, herb dean scenario was first.

@@mutton_man he doesn't know as no one has ever said it was a female co-host, he's literally conjuring this up himself from nowhere. If I were to bet it was probably Dana's assistant Lenay. Hardy literally says it was someone who organises the press side of things so clearly this guy can't even listen to the interview

He has a good voice too

Same I've never heard anyone say that before🤣🤣🤣

@@NicolaMaxwell When I was a kid and watched wrestling when Stone Cold and The Rock were wrestling. The Rock used to call everyone a "Jabroni" 😂 Ariel is a wrestling fan so I've always assumed that's why he says it. Just not sure why he says "Jabrone" and not "Jabroni"? 🤔 One of them saying it wrong? Different variations of the same word? 🤷‍♂️

@@NicolaMaxwell it’s the best! The rock started it!

@@closinginonclosure Yea, you nailed it actually. The word has been around since the 80's, and it was heavily popularized by The Rock in the mid 90's. I watched too. Jabrone is the actual word, Jabroni is just a spin on it to make it funnier and appeal to the silly showman crowd. Jabrone is slang for moron, silly, fool, dummy, or someone who doesn't get it, or someone who's too slow to keep up in conversation or competition. It's basically, hey Dumb dumb

@@floatinggoose9197 Ah right on. Yeah, I assumed it meant something offensive like that based on the context. And what you said about The Rock and why he said it differently, makes sense. I know Ariel likes wrestling and has said he especially loved the later 90s - earlier 2000s era. So I always assumed it's what influenced him to say it. I appreciate the insight my man 🙌 The more you know.

the problem is that the fighter was talking to herb, but dan couldn't see it from his angle

Herb is the fixer for Dana.

And herb can’t see the mistakes in his actions/inaction. Zero apologies from him, unlike Jason Herzog who is the best

@@potatopossum1 he was stiff as a board just watch the video

It doesn’t matter if herb dean is messing up , Dan should of keep it dam mouth shut It’s not his job or his place to stick his dam nose where it don’t belong The problem is …. Herb has been with the ufc for forever and Dan crossed the line Dam goodball

You mean the city?

Can you tell me the story behind can crusher #1?

Paul Felder was yelling it MULTIPLE TIMES! worse than Hardy was even.

@@bradistooheat Dana's got favorites. Uncle Dana raised us that way.

Agree but the problem was Dan went up to the ref

Until hes gonna yell at the ref again

Noo would much rather see him in One. He’ll have opportunities to fight muay thai over there and striking was always his strength. He mentioned fighting John Wayne Parr and I think that would be awesome, Nieky Holzken is a really tough fight but that would be cool as well.

I would love to see Dan replace Josh Thompson. Josh just isn't very good at announcing.

@@Doge76548 ya one would fit him perfectly

I was gonna leave the same comment about Bellator....I hope so too, he was great when watching the European Broadcasts.... Ariel is right , I don't wanna see him get Hurt Like Diaz....U never know though he could be worst, the same or even better... Omg that's funny he just called out Diaz....lol...

That was so funny

Josh Thompson was a legit elite LW for many years. Dan Hardy realistically was a journeyman who benefited from having a great relationship with the UFC.

@@kyleolson279 I’m not bashing Josh just pointing out that Ariel took a subtle shot at him

@@kyleolson279 but is a student of the game and fantastic analyst

@@kyleolson279 Dan Hardy was an action fighter, not a journeyman

No you didn’t stop lying. I met him not you

You're wrong and he's a loser who outbursts and can't be controlled. He had to go. And you're pathetic for thinking otherwise.

@@GlennDavey I'm just wondering what you've accomplished in your life, if Dan Hardy is your loser?

Can you even blame someone who raises a complaint though? The UFC should be backing him - obviously there's more to it

Yes, I think Goddard is good too.

@@alyberop1 not Marc not so Goddard

@@alyberop1 Goddard is too emotional in the cage as a ref

Herb has never been the best ref lol. Wonder why he got that moniker.

@@martyfromnebraska1045 rogans fault!

Yeah right. Moral of the story is he shouldn’t have said nothin’ to begin with nor should he have tried to justify it. Maybe he cared too much but UFC is actually a ruthless corporation. They don’t care about then fighters outside liability concerns and they definitely don’t care about Dan Hardy.

I get where you’re comin from but at the same time I would’ve been pissed if it got stopped

@@erick7704 it ain't about us, but about the fighters taking damage innit

@@shotarodeniet3301 I mean yuh but it’s the main event. He’s fighting for a world title not some backyard scrap

@@erick7704 he literally got pulled to his feet which goes against the rules for 1 so why does it matter whether its for a title or not... we don't make exceptions because that's how people end up dead and how we end up without MMA, which is still a young sport

@Declan McSheffrey he accused bellator of fixing fights. Was the dumbest thing I ever heard.

The UFC has tons of guys and coaches that can break down fights: Cormier, Felder, Din Thomas, Bisping, and contributing analyst like Chiesa, Woodley, and they have ESPN Brazil as well.

@@xftbllplyr2091 I agree but none have the mind for analysis Dan has.

@@xftbllplyr2091 All of the above are brownnosed puppets, DC being the absolute worst

@@kingcarrot6355 you hit the nail on the head. They just do as they’re told

@@JS-cg4ji Isn’t that with any TV show? The Director tells you the topic you should discuss and what not to discuss. It’s normal in 99.9% of media, unless you have your own media company

😂😂😂

Nope. Paid UFC shills :D

fallin in an out ohh looove, out oh love witchu

😂

Refs are only human. Mistakes happen unfortunately in any walk of life. That's the risk fighters take when they sign the dotted line. Herb dean is a good ref.

You cant fire Herb based on that, it wasn't really that bad to be honest. Far worse things have happened. But you also can't fire Dan Hardy because of his reaction

Dan became a human being and not a spokesperson for the UFC for one minute and paid for it dearly. Shame

@oO you think so?

He thought he could beat GSP...

@@shahidabdoullakhanzorovr1564 what kind of a fighter would you be if you thought you would lose a fight

@@shahidabdoullakhanzorovr1564 Like how Aljo thought he could beat Yan?

@@shahidabdoullakhanzorovr1564 10+ years ago

@@AntFarmer47 he did beat yan

I wouldn’t call what he had was a run in the ufc gsp just ran out of guys to fight…

@@kevinhunt1202 it might be all the MMA you watch but his career didn't start in the UFC...

@@FreeSpeechFTW really??? you mean the ufc hires fighters who fought somewhere else first??? 🤯 damn crazy! Well now that you brought it up what organization did Dan hardy have his magical run in???

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Who else is as good as Dan?

@@MJFloof Yeah, the answer is nobody. OP is misleading in that regard. :D

@@juho5282 that’s how I feel, I’ve not seen anybody breaking down fights like he does.

@@MJFloof Me neither, mate. He doesn't need anything except his MMA knowledge to keep folks listening. It's beautiful really.

I honestly don't wanna see Dan in bareknuckle because I don't like that sport. But him in boxing, Muay Thai or kickboxing would be nice

I thoughtbof that straight away

I said this exact thing let’s fkn go would love to see that fight!

At least he could received a warning

Right!

I agree. 956 here.

“What the month?” - Nate Diaz , most recent Ariel interview

Didn't know that! Is there a video?

@@blaugranisto he tweeted it was choreographed or something, then came on the MMA hour and danced around it

Wouldn’t be surprised in the Bjorn era

I bet he regrets it now lol. Obvious UFC schill at the time.

He accused Bellator of fixed fights, said the fighters aren't on the same level as ufc skill wised. He's said other things about bellator that makes me think they wouldn't hire him.

He's like Scooby Do Show where they start running in the air before moving.

🏴‍☠️

I agree.. They'll turn you into a pound for pound of the world in seconds. Just takes a d... crowd.

What about Daniel cormier doing the same thing Saturday?

@@alexhopps1826 - That's down to the UFC. It would also depend upon the ref and his favouritism. I know Herb has businesses that Endeavor (UFC owners) back - and so the shareholders would have been pissed with Dan. The politics would have run deep. Dana loves DC and so would at best pulled him to one side, but I think the fight you are referring to is the one where ALL parties agreed the stoppage was late and so there would have been no one gunning for DC's head... They were all in agreeance. Herb has celebrity status, vitamin water that the owners have invested in, and Dan had an empty arena and so it rang loud. I think that's the difference, though I am speculating.

@@MadAboutBusiness it wasnt even that serious. If serious was doing his job right, he’d have stopped the fight. Dan had a human moment that he apologized for but he showed human empathy and a fighter’s fighter mentality

@@rima7286 I agree 100%, but what he did was unforgivable when you have shareholders sadly. I'm 100% behind Dan, but I've been in business long enough to know that when you 'flame the companies product - human moment or not - it's a coffin that needs just that one nail. There was no going back. As you said, he had a moment and it wasn't enough for gross misconduct - but in a sport where regulation could step in any time, and your own commentator is suggesting the UFC is putting their fighters in danger, they had to take him out - as would have been instructed by the owners/Ari. The shenanigans on Fight Island were simply trying to get him on a couple more things to warrant his firing - but if it wasn't the fall out with the woman, they'd have gotten him on something else. He was passionate - but made a dumb mistake. He implied in front of millions of viewers that a fighter's life was in danger - and all whist he was on the company pay roll.

Im not sure i find Dan to be a great commentator beacuse he goes way too deep into all their technicalities as if hes trying to psychoanalyze them while they are fighting lol 😅🤣😂 However his inside the octagon breakdowns i will miss tremendously they were so good 😢😞

Yes it was a good interview felt bad for Dan but glad he’s doing ok ! I wonder who the chick is that snitched on him was it Olivia? Or that new chick who now commentates? She’s blonde and annoying

Mr. Hardy??? Hardy is enough, i hate those who are addicted to kissing 🍑s

It's weird that even as a commentator, would he still be an independent contractor?

Depends what the laws are in Vegas. If it's a right to work state or an at will state. Technically you can be fired for anything and they dont have to tell you, at least where I live.

Heart on his sleeve, emotions spill over too easily into work even if he's right. I won't disagree that somebody has to say something first or speak up, it's usually people like him 🤷

Seems easy to work with to me lol Having passion for your work is key in MMA. He gave pretty logical explanations for everything that happened, and the UFC would definitely do what he says they did in basically black balling him. It’s very very similar to what the UFC did to Ariel.

You soft

@Kai Riggs soyboy lol!! Ok Kai didn't mean to hurt your feelings bro. I'm sure Dan feels the same about u.

He isn't fighting the top guys though. He is looking to fight guys in a similar career stage.

He because that's not the whole reason he got let go he started fight with a woman announcer in UFC back stage

And worst of all, he doesn't know who Hannibal of Carthage is!

He is super biased as well

@@sir0nion who?

FOH DC is the best they have, far better than Cruz or Felder !

@@sir0nion hahaha

Paul Felder lol

What is it ?

@@danielgonzalez-yp7hi watch Ariel's hand lol
