Bellator 289 - Friday, December 9

lobmob your breakdowns are a treasure and I appreciate them deeply because trying to keep track of Bellator makes my eyes glaze over

I am actually looking forward to this Bellator, which is a weird sentence to type and makes me wonder if I am having a stroke.

there was also that time during the fox deal when ariel was paid by both fox and ufc to be a "journalist" and acted like getting paid by the ufc to cover the ufc wasn't any kind of conflict of interest

In fairness, he has since admitted this was not a good look and is one of great professional regrets. It's not like he's still dying on a hill defending this.

Also, the more damning thing about the Brock Debacle (Brockbacle) is him getting booted also meant Esther Lin and Casey Leydon were barred from covering UFC in person for a bit and they are good and cool, which isn't fair to them

Debrockle was right there!

Calling a Jewish person a "rodent" and accusing them of chasing money feels particularly loving lovely in the current cultural climate.


e - and "a maggot"


e2 - and "lizard"


The central beef seems to be that Paddy got pissed when he felt that it was cos of Ariel that people knew that Paddy's team asks for money for interviews, when Paddy's own manager literally posted a thing to instagram saying "Yo fighters you should get paid for interviews".

And then the other one is that "Ariel wants to get paid", as if that's not what everyone in the loving world (including and especially in the UFC) is doing.


e 3 - At least the response on social media seems to be unanimously in Ariel's favour. Like all Paddy's fans are saying "you really kinda hosed this one mate"

e 4 - Yes Ariel's video could have been half as long, but it's honestly heartwarming to watch the entire community stand in solidarity with an awkward dweeb. Just an astonishing own goal from Padbert.

Tbf it sounds like they’re just not awarding the bonus at all, which is actually slightly better than awarding it and not paying it, as the headline seems to imply.

actually, yeah, I am a little mad

It’s hard for me to get into the mind of an idiot, but i think it’d be weird for Rogan to put it out there if he had talked to Conor directly about it. I assume it’s drawing the obvious conclusion like he did with Liver King.

It was just in the context of the whole liver king fiasco and fitness influencers etc in general.

Derek from more plates more dates brought it up and they discussed what someone would use to recover as fast as they could from an injury.

Tbh Conors physique doesn't look outside the realm of normalcy for an elite athlete just spending hours in the gym every day focussing on strength but ahit he probably juiced. You've got hundreds of millions of dollars and access to the right doctors and you're not going to be tested.

No, that was on a previous page and is still there, unspoilered.

It was just screenshots of some dweeb sending silly DMs to fighters.
