@bigwigwigbig That is just how Japan is. I left a backpack with digital camera inside that was worth about $900 at that time. I had a friend call the train line and I ended up getting it back the next morning.
He is so right about true fans who never experience a PRIDE event live in Japan. It is almost like those guys missed out on the ultimate MMA experience and they will likely never get that chance again.
I really dont think any commentators SUCK.. Like you may have your preference but you have to respect the people who know the sport well and have their shit together to sit and talk through the whole fight.
I have gained respect for Mauro, dont like Strikforces commentary but thats not his fault its the fuckin people he is partnered with... **cough cough** gus johnson. Another great interview Ariel, keep 'em comin.
Jerry Millen is such a douche. A complete and TOTAL failure in every business venture he touches, yet people still give him chances to continue to ruin their companies. Unreal.
@EverydayImTrollin Hmm wrestling is in the sports channel (sky tv sports). Do you know what that means? It's a sport. Ur a fuckin' idiot. You just owned urself lol. You should show your face in a video or give me your address so I can break ur nose.
@lynchdemartini HAHAHA pro wrestling is not a sport hahah god i guess some fags just never grow up, WWE was cool in middle school 15yrs ago, ur such a fag stop posting anything about MMA
We as MMA fans need these insightful interviews, I disliked his commentary overall, but I'll give him the respect he deserves. Whether you hate him or love him, can't deny he is passionate. Keep up with these interviews Helwani. Maybe Tim Slyvia isn't the joke that we all know.
He should do some mockups on some movie trailer videos and send them in to agencies that specialise in voice over work. He could end up being THE movie trailer voice being that one of the biggest voice guys died a few years back. He would rake in the big money if he got that gig!
Ariel Helwani transcends the nature and intent of journalism. this is a man who, without knowing, makes a sport that much more endearing and helps define it as a culture, rather than a passing activity. to say that Ariel Helwani is a journalist would be an understatement - to say that Ariel is a poet courting his love for sport and sharing his emotions with the world would be more appropriate.
@kurtsloane Goldberg is only a commentator because his moronic comments are good laugh , I'm not fan of Mauro's commentating but after this interview I am a fan of Mauro the man.
This is some of the most incoherent coked out rambling i've ever heard.
