The MMA Hour: Brandon Moreno, Fernand Lopez, Bobby Lashley, and more | Jan. 26, 2022 

The whole first hour is all about WWE this is getting ridiculous one interview is ok maybe 20 mins but 2 interviews back to back on the MMA hour is too much. Love the show!

So Happy for Jimmy getting the Raw gig. He didnt deserve to be fired by the UFC.

I couldn't wait for the Lopez interview, lol

00:00 Standby 01:14 Intro 05:28 Jimmy Smith 33:51 Bobby Lashley 1:14:21 Fernand Lopez 1:49:04 Brandon Moreno 2:21:44 GC & Helwani 2:43:44 On the Nose

Is it just me or did this episode have a little too much wrestling talk?

These 2 flyweights are legit making history for their division and the UFC. The division is blow up. Respect to the legends like DJ, Cejuodo, Benevidez, etc that laid the ground work and made the foundations of this division.

Happy to see Jimmy Smith doing well, also happy that Fernand is done with his beef with Francis!

Jimmy Smith 5:40 Bobby Lashley 34:00 Fernand Lopez 1:14:39 Brandon Moreno 1:49:19

Fernand giving Francis the evil eye whilst stroking Ganes back will be an all time funniest moment in UFC history!!!

Finally this Dream match is happenin’. Now I want Brock Vs Booby Vs DC in Wrestlemania 🙌🏻 And one of the best thing happened in WWE is Jimmy Smith.

After watching the interview with Fernand , I understand why Francis left him. This guy is not trustworthy.

anyone else leave a dislike? call this the combat hour

Jimmy and Bobby great interviews . Jimmy is perfect on Monday Night Raw. Funny how wwe treats him vs ufc

Oh my, I realized I had a headache by the end of Moreno's interview. Lol

Man I miss Jimmy Smith's RU-vid channel when he actively posted

Brandon’s walkout was one of the most bone chilling walkouts I’ve ever seen. Yes he’s not the scariest fighter but something about that walkout was different

moreno is epic

Well I'm gonna watch the royal rumble clash between the heavyweights now, unexpected interview. Great show overall 🔥

Very humble and honest by Fernand

Jimmy got dumped by his hot ex just to get picked up by a girl thats just as hot and treats him better. Im happy for him 👍

Coach Fernandz got humbled... however, it takes a real Man to admit his mistakes and take responsibility. Kudos to him!!!

I love that Bobby mentioned hardcore Holly

It’s funny hearing fernand saying how everyone was scared of the heel hook attempt and Erick was saying he chuckled when he seen it

Great show

Must have stumbled on the WWE Hour by accident. Any idea where to get some MMA content?

Can't believe the UFC could have Jimmy Smith and Dan Hardy on the broadcast but they don't want to.

Fernand Lopes saying Heelhook all the time is really cracking me up!

Too many WWE guys on recently, people watch for MMA. It’s like a Football podcast getting Cricket players on as guests

Fernand is extremely defensive. Acts if he’s being attacked with every little question. Tough to listen to folks like that.

Great attitude from Firnand Lopez

Jimmy was brutally honest, very refreshing!

Moreno and Figueiredo are two of the toughest guys with the best back stories. I have so much respect for both of them.

“DAT GUY IZ CRAZY! HE IZ A AS5 HOLE” 2:03:45 MORENO the ASSASSIN BABY🤣🤣🤣🤣 How can you not smile back at this guy, 😁

Man what a great show I haven't watched pro wrestling in years. Interesting to see Bobby vs Lesnar. I'm intrigued

I dont buy Lopez bs , was skeptical in the beginning too , It felt like he created alot of drama around it himself . Yes Francis left him but he wanted to train in US where there are better competition , better sparring partners and more coaches . Fernand got hurt cuz he took him when he was nobody and on the street but life goes on , people evolve . Francis had to look after his interest not his coach as bad it may sound . And yes and at the end he sounds salty regardless what he says because of what he did and said before "Francis is not what the people think " he implied on several on occasion that Francis is really bad person but never said why and what (specifically other than leaving him ) . He always blamed Francis for Stipe's loss and did not take any responsibility [ other than saying Francis didn't follow the plan ] immma tell you this 2nd time his hw fighter cant react on grappling ... Yes he promoted that fight and carried it on his shoulders but he released sparring footage and try to defend it . After months of following this drama , and not knowing them personally , I think Ngannou did well for himself and Bon Gamin will come back and prolly win the HW , but Lopez needs some time and step back from media and re-think if one of his fighters decides to try someone else or train with someone else to let them and not be salty about it , but let them know he supports their decision and they are always welcome to come back .Maybe find some high end grapplers next time ;) It is what it is .

Can we go 1 fricking week without talking about Jake Paul?

Great mindset of fernand. Hope him and Francis do well in the future too

BOYCOTT BOYCOTT BOYCOTT the UFC UNTIL FIGHTERS GET FAIR PAY AND HEALTH INSURANCE...stand togather as fans..!! BOYCOTT BOYCOTT BOYCOTT

love Brandon

JSmith is a good dude.

always was a fan of bobby lashley.. why you hating on brock though ariel?

Ariel says he watches fights on his laptop which leads me to believe our boy isn’t paying for them and is streaming the fights.

The Bobby interview was interesting

Fernand “I’m not surprised” Lopez

Fighters are so relaxed around Ariel

So, if there was no Dana I would root for Fernand and Cyril since I believe the ego story about Francis and how he wouldn't lift up the mma factory and the fighters there, meaning giving them no credits. But Dana not paying and mobing Francis made me root for him

“My good friend Ronda? Ronda Gene?” 😂

Moreno Figgy 4 gonna be a draw so there will be a 5th 😂

Thanks for everything you do Ariel, you inspire me to be my best self

ngannou in wwe after retirement, am i rite? xD

Fernand Lopez .I love his thought process . He’s a good guy

Fernand Lopez may be a very good coach but i don’t think he is ELITE. In my opinion, he just got lucky with Francis and Cyril ending up in his gym.

Fernand's logic. Africa & France represents the rest of the world/MMA Community. Kudos Mr Lopez

Heelwani is the goat 🐐

Good show as always. Jimmy Smith seems like a good dude. I must say, either he forgot the interview was on camera or he wanted to give Adesanya a run for his money for live tv nose picking champion.

Something about Fernand really bugs me. Just don’t like this guy. He’s sour

Respect ariel a real hip hop head wu-tang forever son!

I love Brandon Moreno. Hes such a badass

Brandon Moreno should still be champion, it’s almost like the ufc didn’t want him to have the belt. They won’t give them another re match back to back. Brandon Moreno is such a good person who leads by example and I hope he ends up beating him and staying champ!

Jones coming with Taekwando kicks soon 😄

Ariel, hit up Blue City Deli on Saturday in St. Louis, you will thank me later!

I understand fernand better than I do stipe or gaetghje

Why do you say the 1-800-gambler number like it's fun and exciting?

To be fair with Fernand Lopez and his point regarding the heelhook let's not forget Frank Mir made Lesnar tap with a nasty heelhook

Deiveson :“Crybaby Moreno” *cries immediately after winning fight*

I worry for how many people don't understand how easily a heel hook can permanently alter your knee.

Brandon Moreno is so likeable

Leg log wasn't very bad what if had successful.

Where is Stipe??? Can we get Stile on the show?

Gane vs Stipe is the fight to make or Curtis Blaydes. Not another Francis-Gane romance.

Ariel, what does jimmy smith mean by he got fired because he didnt fight for ufc? This a union thing or something?

Heel hook in training and in a fight is two different scenarios. My ass tapped right away in training but in competition I'd hang on as much as I could

Fernand Lopez IS BIG SALTY

So I guess Gane will leave this duder as well huh?? :) :) hope gane gets a better team

Feel bad for him but I have no problem with the ufc wanting former ufc fighters to be commentators and giving them a career after their fighting career is over.

jimmy getting co signed by rogan then cut was just bad timing but ya that was awkward

Dont go on low kick cyril go on highh kick and get slamed xD

yes i understand people being upset. they click on the show with mma in the title and have to listen to wrestling talk. start a wrestling show for 1 hour a week called the wresting hour. but as far as some people being mad i get it, its like when your in the mood for some football stuff and someones tryna shove baseball stuff in your face.

Ariel the 🐐

I thought Brandon won the fight too.. I was in shock that figuiredo won, but it is what it is.

Fernand “ But Again” Lopes…

Online betting on fixed WWE fights seems like very weird and shady territory 🤔

I can see why Francis left. This coach’s ego is huge. Starts off the bat just defensive and taking credit from Francis

I can't believe the UFC let this guy go (Jimmy Smith), what a mistake!

58:51 because it’s FAKE, why would it draw me in when it’s scripted?

Bill's fans crying is crazy. They voted against changing the rules 2 years ago. They had a chance in overtime, to play defense. They allowed a score with 13 seconds left in regulation. Everyone knew the rules going in. They only have themselves to blame...

Fernand's way of thinking is WOW

Jimmy Smith looking like meathead Paul Rudd

You guys can do a wrestling show if you like but 90% of your audience are going to stop watching so maybe give your viewers what THEY want rather than just doing what you feel like? First episode I skipped for 6 months... Might lose interest rather watch Bisping for that type of content

Why would they not do automatic 4th?! Figueredo won by decision! But they fought first it was even. Then the second fight Moreno finished HIM! There shouldn’t even be a third! But he gave him the third fight so why not. Moreno finished him. Figueredo beat him. It’s weight difference.

The WWE Hour🙄 Apart from Brandon I’m outta here

So I love the show overall and I don't want to be a hater but the GC guy is just painfully boring, it's like he couldn't possibly seem more dry and uninterested..not even mad about it though because it's actually kind of hilarious

Mma hour+wwe talk=not watching

i hate that moreno lost that fight. what my eyes saw against figgy was that he (brandon) is clearly the better fighter. even in the 3rd, when moreno was knocked down, he was not close to being finished. his cardio and chin are too good; if there had been more time, he would've shook figgy off and kept going like he did the rest of the time. he was not scared of figgy's power, even after that. hope he gets the 4th fight.

Great actress, never met her. LOLOLOL

I just don't get how Moreno and others think he won. He clearly didn't. It was close, but not that close.

Brock and Ronda win the rumble 👃🏻

Bobby won against Brock, Brock wins the rumble as predicted

Invite Francis' former coach on then praise Francis for 15 minutes before you talk to him smdh Ariel

Can you please stop jelling at the beginning? That’s annoying
