Well, he’s kinda only “named” mma “journalist”.
Also he’s been known as the “instigator”.
Also he’s been known as the “instigator”.
But he has never done that and will never do that. <45><45>I cant remember who it was but one time Ariel asked the same fighter what he made 3 or 4 times and the fighter kept telling him he wasnt going to answer that but Ariel kept asking him anyway. He has asked fighters MANY MANY times about their pay, more times than I can count.
Crying over another man being mean to himKinda wish he would go away. He does some good work, but he's too polarizing to many. Seems like more of a distraction. Oh and I cant forgive this.
I know Ariel takes some shit on here, but there truly is no better mma journalist than him and that is even with him holding back tons of rumors he hears. Boo-hoo if he stirs the pot once awhile. Sometimes he does it because he has been told something and he is trying to get person involved to spill the beans to make the show more interesting.
Personally, I think he does a pretty good job of walking a fine between what he can say, what he knows, standing his ground, asking tough questions, etc etc. So many journalist in the sport just rehash his info. he puts out. This sports journalist in a nutshell aren't very good. They almost all just run each others news as new on there site and that is about it. Outside of handful guys who actually break a majority of the news. 98% of the mma journalist fall in line with the UFC.
P.S.: Most of us couldn't even name 5 MMA journalist but everyone knows Ariel.
