Hrmm I wonder why they might not get along??
- Luke is LITERALLY sitting in Ariel's seat.
- He kept the same show name that Ariel built.
- He kept the same goofy bobblehead and clutter which was individual to Ariel (and frankly fucking stupid. Ariel looks like a child on ESPN sitting at a tiny round table near a TV with the 5 bobbleheads he managed to smuggle out of his old studio).
Keep in mind that Luke is unqualified to be an MMA analyst and has shown some baffling choices that contradict Ariel's famous "no questions held back " style :
- Luke constantly adopts the UFC Narrative
- Luke keeps fan-boy level devotion to people who have said on camera to his face that
they hate him. See Jones, Jon.
Luke is ex-military .
That's about the end of his appeal.
Say whatever you want about him and disagree with me if you want - it's
UNDENIABLE he is a swag jacker.
Luke steals the appeal of other people to make himself appealing.
Why would Ariel, or anyone, like a man with shady values such as Luke?
