      Saying "this is my house" is corny as hell considering he works for Dana like every other fighter. He can't claim the UFC as his house when he doesn't even have a belt. Neither of them are humble and should be glorified. They both have inflated egos. Mike is just insecure about being a gatekeeper but that doesn't make him fake or any less real than Dustin lmao.

    Been a PR pro for two decades and can confirm Ariel to be a journalist, and actually a near extinct specimen at that. I can confirm that it would have been a big problem if I was doing UFC for Dana and having to deal with Ariel, just because we live in a post-truth world and Ariel still brings the truth out there. But even being a problem at my work I would still respect him for what he does and stands for. Cheers Ariel, you ain’t going away anytime soon and I’m happy for that as any sports fan should be.

      Ariel is the closest thing we have to a Howard Cosell in this sport. He isn’t owned by anyone or any organization. He’s wholeheartedly dedicated to the sport, its fighters, and the truth. Value this man as a journalist because this sport has a lot of “yes men” and “company men” that are bland and just say/ask the safe questions that the organization is okay with.

    Hearing this savage talk about being worried during the first round really puts into perspective for me the danger these guys are in.
    It must be the craziest rush being an elite mma fighter in a fight with another elite guy. Its as close to the feeling of someone trying to kill you as you can get to without them actually trying to kill you (though I’m sure some guys have tried.), and it’s one of the most dangerous men on the planet trying to do it!
    Huge respect for this guy. Not only is he one of the greatest LW’s of all time imo, he’s always so candid in his interviews and seems like really cool cat, and, more importantly, a good dude.
