    I don't disagree to an extent, its a weakness of the format. The show at six hours and ten guests gets very samey when he says it voer and over.

    Like i said, at the end of the day, i quite like ariel and what he does.

    Ye i agree he should ask maybe first guest and go in depth and get a quicker shorter opinion on it from others

    He walked out to the cage at an event a while ago, think it was his hometown.

    He put up a 'nice' photo on his instagram a few days ago of a beautiful tiger that he hunted/murdered but took the photo down after a heap of backlash

    It was a mountain lion and although I wouldn't be interested in hunting one they are hunted by the public at certain times of the year to control the populations in parts of the US and Canada.

    True lads - the man (for the fighter of top quality that he was) isn’t a very pleasant person

    From what I’ve read about him he seems like a horrible human being

    Much as I wanted to read his book I'd rather burn the money
    From what appeared online you could only whole heartedly agree with the above comments

    I recall seeing Matt in a video with hospital staff last year and he looked kinda simple/innocent, he had a childlike expression and very genuine smile. I thought maybe the brain damage had 'reset' his personality and maybe he wasn't a dickhead any more.

    One of the worst cards I’ve ever seen on paper. Big fat no for me.

    When I look at that card on Sherdog without the main event I honestly don't know if I am supposed to read it from top to bottom or the other way round

    I honestly am. Of even sure what card is on? Chile?

    If so **** that card, the UFC are trying to ****ing punish Maia or something.

    Let's put the waining 40 year old bjj player up against all the rounded freak wrestlers.

    at least after usman there'll be no more left after he's been beaten by the best three wrestlers in the div

    I hope he retires after tonight though I suspect he'll carry on a bit longer, maybe a swansong on a card in brazil later in the year

    They did a big press conference during international fight week and announced all the big cards for the rest of the year during that. It'll be the same this year I'd say.

    Wonderboy-Till going to be broadcast on BBC 5 Live. Perhaps doesn't mean quite what it once did but still a significant step towards the mainstream in the UK.

    They even have darts on the radio now, and strangely it kind of works.

    I'm much really liking Joe Rogan's MMA Podcasts. I don't mind the randomness of the other one, but it def works better when the focus is MMA.

    This is an excellent one. Covers the history of MMA, rule changes, future rule changes etc.

    The problem is half the time the focus isn't on MMA and it just turns into a standard JRE podcast.

    Apparently GSP is going to be on Wednesday's JRE. Should be a good one.
