I'm a casual fan really. I don't really go in depth into the nitty gritty stuff outside of the ring or the cage. I don't click on videos of stuff on principle (can't stand social media videos and video reviews and that kind of shit really) so I've never seen anything regarding MMA Hour, and probably never will. I actually tried looking up Ariel Helwani stuff but they were all videos but I did end up reading whatever he wrote when he actually wrote stuff and didn't just leave a video.
I'm a reader sort of guy and not a video type of guy.
Yeah I get what you are saying as I prefer to read as well, but the MMA hour isn't a social media video sort of thing, it's a
basically a 3 hour long show with fighters, managers and everything related to MMA talking with Ariel on his show with the
longer format and his relationship with the fighters providing a better format IMO.
I also prefer that someone that has a genuine interest in the sport and have some insights asks the questions as it feels a lot more
relevant for me as a fight fan when he asks questions I want him to ask, not the usual morning show question from someone that
doesn't even really know the sport.
Maybe I haven't looked hard enough, but I haven't found anyone better than him and for me it is based on his interviews, the MMA hour
and maybe even the MMA round table (I think it's called)
All I ever see when trying to get MMA news is either the choice of the "forum experience" some really shitty, annoying and stereotypical
MMA media that provides nothing else than click bait or some general headlines from mainstream media 3 days after you could find the
news elsewhere.
