He's awesome. Seriously one of the realest down to earth interviews I've seen from someone in his position or similar position.
Someone working in boxing who is honest enought to say he knows nothing about MMA.
The lack of respect to MMA is astonishing
Don't you mean "The MMA"
This is not a MMA fight. This is a boxing matching.
Jordan Carty Agreed, when anyone says that they haven't really watched MMA or know much about it I'm just thinking to myself how I'm the world have you not watched the most exciting form of combat sports? It's just soooooo much better than boxing. So many great moments. Smh and did he say eye pokes as if that's allowed? :(
Dont get the lack of respect thing.
david jones are you serious how about he fact the guy describes MMA as "the Mma" and also the fact that it's a much superior sport
Jim Gray is one of sports broadcasting Goats. NFL, boxing, NBA, Olympics. Funniest moment is when James Toney wanted to kick his ass after he fought Holyfield and smashed the mic out of his hand during the post fight.
"huge in the MMA"
Haha...picked that up instantly too 😂👍
patrick crawford Cut the old guy some slack bro.
Huge in the mixed martial arts. Its actually legit
Nice interview Ariel, Jim Gray is a living legend.
Jim Gray was the one who linked up Floyd Mayweather and Tom Brady..He is a good dude
Please stop referring to it as "The MMA" Its MMA! Just like Boxing isn't The Boxing. Bit more research and less ignorance would be nice.
The Mixed Martial Arts
Barry Ryan
All these triggered the MMA fans
000121m All these triggered The Boxing fans!
When you're over 50 you put "the" before every proper noun
IDK i was thinking he meant "The Mixed Martial Arts"
Damn give the old guy a break lads he clearly is from a different generation and has been set in his ways with the sports that he loves and he genuinely doesn't watch or know much about MMA but he was trying to be very courteous and respectful to the sport, the fighters and the fans to the best of his knowledge.
"the MMA"...lol
Btw floyd is not a fighter, hes a boxer, I mean, he was a boxer.
Highlyghter c Floyd is def a fighter but call it what you want I guess.
GREAT INTERVIEW, GREAT JOB
"I haven't watched a lot of MMA. But I DO know that Artem Lobov is the GOAT"!
-Jim Gray
Good ol'
Jim "The MMA" Gray
Man. This interview shows Ariel is the GOAT. Asking questions that throws off the legendary Jim Gray.
Thanks, Jim Gray. Way to stay positive.
"Kicked in the ear" lol
People are so stupid lol hes not disrespecting mma he doesnt know about it and doesnt pretend he does
Giovanni Soto exactly, he even says as much in this interview.
The Jim Gray ladies and gents...
Honest, for once! Nice to see and hear. I
When Ariel really needs it, he steps up his game big time. Great interview!
dankth mr. Gray

THE GREAT JIM GRAY
Very well said jim👌
The MMA = the mixed martial arts. Nothing wrong with it
Such a cool dude!
2 good guys right there
I don't care for ariel, but I gotta give him major props for mentioning the pete rose fiasco. jim gray is lucky he wasn't kicked to death by the fans that night.
Even if it was in the rules could anyone get used to knees in the groin?
Always liked this guy. True Legend in boxing
Jim Gray and Ariel have a lot in common...
Sold out stadiums for UK boxers mate.
Sounds like a good dude
fookin legend
No it's more like the Miracle on Ice.
I would expect a professional of Mr.Gray's stature to have educated himself on the MMA. For someone to speak like this that is working the event says a lot about where he is in his career. Guys like him grow complacent and don't do their homework and it shows.
Used to getting kneed in the groin?Lmao
i dont think it kills boxing. conor is just one of kind like. noone else in MMA could do it. and another thing, if conor does happen to win i hope he doesnt think he can handle canelo or GGG lol floyd, an older smaller defensive fighter with little power is one thing regardless of him being undefeated. but idk about conor handling a top leveled knock out artist boxer lol
Straight hilarious! In the MMA, there are no rules...
lol the 2 big fights he mention were in the UK. you can tell the old timers aint really watching THE MMA like that. wait until every boxing fan comes out n says its better after this fight
My thoughts too. McGregor vs Diaz 3 at Wembley Stadium. 90,000 no problem. I'm amazed that a 'big gate' in boxing/MMA is less than 20,000
wouldn't do that though lose to much money throught ppv it would have to be on at 3am like the bisping vs henderson fight
Research Eric Dubay people. Eric Dubay
Jim Gray was speaking facts
What a nice freakin guy
The MMA. The Boxing :)
Jim Gray - THE MMA LMAO
Ol' Jim taking Ari to school a bit, and Ari taking it in like good students do.
Yep, Grey has messed up a lot of interviews. But always comes off as a well intentioned, caring guy.
Jim "The MMA" Gray
Conrad Dent L .
Floyd training in the ring behind them in blue.
wow
Its funny how somebody convinced boxing that McGregor is the best MMA fighter. He is barely the best in his weight division
It would be a much bigger deal then super bowl 3
How can such a high profile sports broadcaster know so little about MMA? Strange, groin kicks? Eye gouging? Come on
The mma is getting bigger. Donor is tough he is use to getting kicked in the groin, kicked in the ear, pocked in the eye and chocked hahaaa
DudeWithTheFro
Donor has a groin of steel, takes shot to it all day every day
iv always thought Ariel has taken a major page from this guy's book as far as being a passive aggressive, disingenuous, unlikeable deuche bag. look how Ariel is glowing.. I knew it.. I knew this guy was probably one of his hero's.. kind of sickening to see someone so enamored by a guy who's made a career being an soulless provocateur. I think Gray thought he was taking a page from Cosell.. but to me he totally missed the mark.. Howard was in a league Gray never came close to.. Howard HAD soul.. he "felt" the emotions from his difficult questions.. this guy was a reptile who never conveyed any humanity in his interviews.. just a cold provocateur.
comptone I agree with your take on Gray, but Ariel is different. Yes he provokes drama, but he's always been respectful to the fighters...in a lot of ways he goes to bat for the fighters..that's the main reason he gets so many great interviews with them...sometimes he pushes to far but that comes with the job.
Well said
THE MMA
Why is "the MMA" not correct? Anyone care to explain to non-native English speaker?
Jean Chancy gotcha thanks
Well, at least he tried
As corny as it sounds, "The MMA" actually sounds correct when said without abbreviation. They are _The_ Mixed Martial Arts just like Meryl Streep tried saying "Mixed Martial Arts is not _The_ Arts." However, it's always people that know nothing about the sport that call it that.
2011 was not a knock down sir, that was a cheap shot.
Totally ignorant of "the mma"
50thousand to watch errol vs brook what what what
Subash Kunwar Sheffield ..50 k ..Do ur research
Shashank VP 50k errol vs brook u should be the 1 to do research
As in there were 50,000 people in attendance to watch that fight.
The MMA
Both boxing and MMA are cult sports with a few blue ribbon events dotted through out the year. One can't kill the other.
Whey boxing guna be killed conor is fighting Floyd in a boxing match
why does he call it "the mma" lmao
Tyson bight was 20 yrs ago dummy...
i'm pretty sure he said he was 15... not that it was 15 years ago.
"It might bring MMA up to a higher level." Hah there is no other boxer that could bring Floyd a 100 million dollar payday. Let alone a Billion dollar fight. Lets be honest. Floyd is bringing in about 15-20 percent of the buyers. This is actually the opposite of how things work in MMA. In MMA, whoever brings in the most PPV Buys gets the most money. Its the opposite here. Floyd is so lucky.
I wish Bellator Ban Ariel so he can start covering boxing. Its lacking quality reporting
Mo yt bellator ?
The mma lol
Another display of how ignorant the boxing community .. its quite amazing
jon jones and demetrious johnson are the best in mma not conor
Jordan Griffin the guy who get his ass whoop by diez in going to konckout jones and dj hahahahahahahah
shut up please
i used to say DJ aswell but he turned down TJ man... he could beat him aswell... that pushes him below cormier and anderson for me but Bones Jones is Number one all day no comparison lol
Turned down someone who was just making weight at the weight class above, who would have had to lose another 10lbs? He would have either missed weight or made weight but too weak to put on a good performance. Right decision by DJ. TJ would not have had another fight at that weight.
jones isn't even top 10 p4p in MMA dumbass
Jordan Griffin DJ? Lol plz.....he got spanked by DC
These boxing dinasaurs are so condescending and love to look over their shoulder at MMA. At least this guy was respectful.
The MMA.
"the mma" --- ugggggghhhhhh
Boxing will be dead in USA not the UK its a little bit different as you say Mr Gray.
1st

Wow!!he has no clue.
MMA is going to suffer at the hands of Connor McGregor if he loses. These boxing aficionados seem convinced, or at least want to portray, that McGregor is the best that MMA has to offer. He's not! McGregor is a fighter, like many others, who climbed their way to a #1 contender spot, and happened to beat the champion, like many others. However, McGregor, unlike many others, failed to defend his belt once! That neglectful course of action, seemingly, was the right course of action to get him an instant title shot at another belt, even though relinquishing the first belt was all he did.
So, in summary, McGregor was fast-tracked to a second belt not because his skills were so phenomenal, but because of his ability to generate interest in his fights, and so generate money for the UFC. McGregor has talked himself into a fight with the greatest boxer of all time because it will generate even more revenue for the giant coporations, not because he deserves to be there.
McGregor is nothing but an act. There's better fighters in the UFC than him. Far better! He's the best at getting people to watch, but he's not the best fighter, not even close.
It's very obvious this guy is delusional.
Floyd isn't the best fighter, he's the best half fighter.
Boxing is dead 8/26/17
