  • Recent episode was awesome!

    Been a fan of Ariel since the start. Really enjoyed Ariel and dc show, was my favourite. This last episode with raven at the end was so good! Raven is such an interesting character, and to see his knowledge in mma, the back and forth with him and Ariel was great! Would love to see a weekly or monthly convo between them.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Face-to-Face: Deontay Wilder and Derek Chisora GET DEEP before combined 100th fight... and potential retirement?
Q: When you were talking about being selfless now, as opposed to selfish, you got emotional there. Can I ask why?
Because that's the things I've been through. I've fed an army of people. The majority have betrayed me, lied to me, and stolen from me.
Face-to-Face: Deontay Wilder and Derek Chisora GET DEEP before combined 100th fight... and potential retirement?
Q: How did you end up here for you, Deontay? Not that long ago, we were talking about Oleksandr Usyk. And I know you've been asked about this recently, but it was just kind of out there.
I am very content how things have played out. My team stayed in contact in negotiation with Derek and his team while the Usyk situation was going on.

Q: What does the WBC belt mean to you?
If you used to win a belt, like, oh, you're a champion. So it's like the notoriety is still there for you to win these belts. The money changes and all that stuff financially. Everything changes when you win the belt.
UFC 325 reaction, Robert Whittaker, Lerone Murphy, Quillan Salkilld, Shu Shu Carrington & WBC president Mauricio Sulaimán in studio, and more
Q: What's it like being at MSG in front of that crowd?
It's a total different experience from being there as a spectator to actually being there backstage. The emotions and everything like that, to be honest, I was so locked in. There weren't a lot of smiling. I was just thinking about the fight.
UFC 325 reaction, Robert Whittaker, Lerone Murphy, Quillan Salkilld, Shu Shu Carrington & WBC president Mauricio Sulaimán in studio, and more
Q: Do you think Movsar beats him at this point?
I think it's a different fight stylistically. Everyone knows Volk's got great takedown defense. Movsar is a wrestler predominantly. He's not going to beat him standing. He's going to try wrestling him.
