Say what you want about Helwani, but he gets a tremendous cast of guys on, week after week.

pretty insane actually how he can get Khabib on fight week, Tony the day after he put the media in frenzy, and Max's manager

 

[Death By Samson]

Referring to an interim title fight rumored to take place. On the mma Hour

Maybe he knows something we dont?

Edit: Ariel says he expect them to announce Colby/RDA this week for Rio.

[executionermma]

Colby probably is afraid of coming to Brazil

He's talking about RDA-Colby

 

[Jackonfire]

Wonderboy points out how he's still #1 contender in the division so its completely ridiculous to give Colby/RDA an interim title fight.

 

[Death By Samson]

Colby probably is afraid of coming to Brazil

If he isn't then he legitimately should be. For real.

[Goatenstein]

Why? Because Brazilians are indeed violent animals?

If RDA doesn't, we gonna murder him, BR crowd can be amazing sometimes but RJ is a violent place

 

[Death By Samson]

All Brazilians? Of course not. But do you even know anything about the rate of violent crime in Rio De Janeiro?

Covington has asked for trouble. That is a good way to get it.

[tonysmasseuse]

Christ. Is this the Garry Tonon Hour?
He's a cool cat and all, very well-spoken and earnest, but can we just skip to Tony and Khabib already
