Ariel Helwani - trash talks and Quotes

“[Makhachev] is just so strong, he is so good, he is so dominant, he is so talented, and now he becomes just the 11th fighter in UFC history to win a belt in two different weight classes... He is the P4P best in the world, there's no denying that. He's slowly but surely going down as one of the greatest ever. In my opinion, he's now put his mentor Khabib Nurmagomedov, with this victory, very much in the rear-view mirror. He has surpassed him -reacted to Islam Makhachev's win at UFC 322”

“Jon talks soooo much s**t about Tom and yet turned down a generational payday to fight him. Make it make sense. -criticizing Jon Jones for talking about Tom Aspinall after allegedly avoiding a fight with him”

“This notion of intentions vs. unintentionals [is] the stupidest sh*t in sports - period. You don't hear it anywhere else. In no other sport do you have referees bothering to ask, 'Did they mean to do that?' No. A foul is a foul. That should have been a DQ victory for Aspinall. Let me be very clear, I don't think Gane did that on purpose, but it doesn't matter. An illegal maneuver is an illegal maneuver.- supports Tom Aspinall on UFC 321 eye poke incident”

“That’s as scary of a KO aftermath as we've seen in a while. Respect to Salkilld. Ten days notice. Vicious kick. Just hate seeing someone out cold and shaking like that. Seems like Nasrat is sitting up now, thankfully -reacted to Salkilld's KO win over Nasrat at UFC 321.”
