  1. First thing: no Ariel, no problem…this show is better than his new one by a long shot.
    Second: MMA in general has gotten too expensive. Married with 3 kids here…I'm back to staying off the Internet and watching bootlegs. It's like the 2000s all over again.

  2. Shaun Al-Shatti is excellent. Have him on here more often! These three have incredible chemistry. Not the biggest Luke Thomas fan, but on this episode of the beat he really shined. Glad Helwani is bringing national recognition to MMA at ESPN, and now more people also get to shine at MMA Fighting. WIN WIN.

  3. Love Luke as the host, especially how he individually directs the questions. Danny crushed it, I think Luke is helping pull him out of his shell a bit. Shaun also did great! Best episode in a while.
