  1. That Rory interview was simply incredible. Even if he never ends up fighting again, the world of MMA is much better with Rory being in and around it than outside of it. Also glad he's now at peace with how everything ended.

  2. Tatsuro Taira is a future champ at 125. Takes his loss like a man, goes and improves his skillset. Short notice, new opponent and he takes it without issue. First Japanese champion in the UFC. He finishes Park this Saturday and gets his 5th UFC finish. 🎉🎉

  3. Green cant pin point why they would not call her name. Yet says they didnt call my name bc they were instructed. Green is nowhere near the level of shields Katie and Amanda. Thinking shields needs to go to MVP to get paid. When shes making MVP money with out MVP

  4. Pretending to be hyped for Nate vs Max is the dumbest shit ever. Max is at his peak in skill. Nate has waned in the past 4 years, stop the cap. Zero desire or hype for that.

  5. Hi Ariel-san. I am really happy that Tatsuro is on the show! I want the next translating job though, I'm going to have to send you a question 📝

  6. I was surprised at how much Tatsuro's English has improved! It's great that he tries to respond to the interviewer in english as much as possible!
    I'm cheering for you from Japan!

  7. I love how he keeps saying John held up aspinall's career… Aspinall was a champion before John fought stipe then , Then aspinall defended his championship…. He kept saying he KNEW john was going to retire, then he waited instead of defending his championship again… Tom held up his own career
