[juffan]

All... Man

[burning1er]

AHAHA: "I OWN EVERY PART OF THE GAME"

"GATORS BITCHES ALWAYS WEAR JIMMY'S"

[Galeck111]

I don't get why hes fighting Joe Lauzon, he should be getting a title contender. I wanted to see him fight Penn or Kenny.

[burning1er]

@Galeck111 cuz Lauzon is a fan favorite, SUPER exiting fighter. Hes coming off a HUGE domination of Gabe. thats y. Word is SOdi will get a title shot if he wins this vs gray the decision maynard, or edgar. Lauzon wont if he wins tho, which makes sense.

[MetalHeadJuggalo]

i cant wait to see him fight again, he dominates. aussie pride, AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE!!!

[OziNasio]

@MetalHeadJuggalo ...His Greek mate ...

[TheRandom6]

@OziNasio Stop trolling you fag. Seriously he's born in Australia? What makes him a wog...because of his heritage?...Oh so thats how it works now!? (SARCASM)

You really are dumb...go run and tell that...HOMEBOY!

[saberman41]

[321criko123]

George is one of my favorite fighters:D

[rebeliza]

[supermegaguy666]

It won't be long now until he gets his shitle tot...

[fujifusion]

AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE!!!!!!

[sallick07]

I see a little bit of "Sly" in George Sotiropoulos.

[sagatbalrog]

@w00oo00oot this faggot sataroplic doesnt look like ariel, kenny florian looks more like ariel. sataropolic looks like a gay faggot.

[hempprotein]

@sagatbalrog LOL you're a real thinker

[sdm26422]

Eddie Bravo has his fighters take a few bong hits in the dressing room to calm down before the fight

[louiskarras]

greeko malakiso camoto banaeasua malakis catayosie = George Sotiropoulos

[adam28865800]

War Sotiropoulos ! he is a great fighter !

[JTWreckage]

@w00oo00oot lmao i was thinkin da same thing yo lol

[timdavis29]

what an intelligent fighter, I can't wait until he gets a title shot.

[toasty06]

george is the man by i still see that arrogant prick from tuf 6 every time he opens his mouth..

[sagatbalrog]

@toasty06 hes not the man. and he was a dipshit on tuf. i hope he gets his ass kicked in his next fight bad.

[toasty06]

@sagatbalrog well he's won 6 fights in a row in the ufc.. gotta count for something!

[jackvr32]

George is climbing the latter nicely!

[Ergock]

George Sotiropoulos should fight Evan Dunham next, I think that would be a good one to move either one of those guys up in ranking. It would be a fight that would get you to a number one contender match up.

Not to mention it would be one hell of a fight, both of the fighters like to mix it up, we would see stand-up, clinch and ground work.

[costautube]

Aussie Aussie Aussie

Όχι όχι όχι.

[dirtymonkey001]

George really is a solid fighter, love his ground game though. OZZY OZZY OZZY...

[liget101]

Shay Carl

[wyldeslash2003]

@liget101 why'd you mention shay?

[Jamalalmajid]

Ariel and George look like brothers.

[xxMKZxx]

Ozzy Ozzy Ozzy, Oy Oy Oy

[Rohan233]

I do hope that the plan for George does happen, Title fight Sydney, Australia, I'll def go to c that

[suzukiracer2381]

sotiropoulos needs to fight florian if he win he gets the winner between maynard/pennvs edar winner for the title

[Philipstyrer]

@suzukiracer2381

WTF are you talking about. Maynard and Florian are fighting and Penn and Edgar are fighting for the title.

[rumandcoke4ever]

just give george the title shot after who is the winner of bj penn/ frankie edgar he has been undefeated in the ufc and deserves a title shot besides maynard and florian it is sotiropoulos that is #1 for the belt

[TheRandom6]

FIRST AUSTRALIAN UFC CHAMP....MARK THESE WORDS!!!

[YUNAN87]

@TheRandom6 He is greek born in ausralia, just like katsidis and longinidis.

90% of australian fighers are from greek descent.LOL

[OziNasio]

[HyperColours]

[123464467]

@TheRandom6 He is GREEK MALAKA

[elenasakis]

@123464467 To mouni tis manas sou!

[Rcee01]

George has always impressed me every since TUF.

I wouldn't be surprise if he becomes the top contender in the lightweight division.

[Rofny]

If there were 3 more seconds ... Kurt would've knocked him out !!

what a performance by George Sotiropoilous !

[Gmon3y72]

The Winner of Florian/Maynard vs Sotiropoulos for title shot?!

[Rofny]

@Gmon3y72 yup will be awesome !

[InternetMudkip]

@Gmon3y72 I think the of Florian vs. Maynard fight is for the #1 contender's spot against the winner of Edgar vs. Penn. Sotiropoulos hasn't really fought anyone legit besides Stevenson and Pellegrino, so I think he needs at least 2 more fights. He's also only been on the main card twice, so he's a rather obscured fighter. UFC needs to hype him up and possibly match him against the winner of Stephens vs. Guillard.

[joey1324]

Give him Evan Dunham that would be a sick fight

[Sparrow1421]

@joey1324 Title fight. for sure.

[music2012]

George is a smart guy, he's gonna have a great career.

[wangster7247]

great, great job George. AUSSIE AUSSIE OI OI OI

[edwordiard]

future champ . . .

[elheadkickio]

I was really impressed wit his boxing. It looked a little mechanical but damn, with his great ground game and improving striking, he's gonna be so dangerous.

[NICKmv573]

george is the man, GREEK AND AN AUSIE!!!

AUSIE AUSIE AUSIE

OI OI OI

[tehstylez]

Him vs Dunham would be a great fight imo.

[duherman]

I'm glad George Sotiropoulos beat Kurt Pellegrino, Kurt is a clown as nate diaz would say.

[cardonaman]

they look like brothers lol

[pugghead]

lol they look like twins

[1MoreRoundbrother]

I wanted to see more aggression in his jits. He just controlled him from crack head. That's the point of it though.. i wanted to see an attempted arm bar from there. I heard Eddie yelling at him to put his foot on his hip and i think go to jiu claw

[SkepticHeathen]

i admit i used to dislike sotiropolous quite a bit, especially on TUF. But i really like the guys fight style and he's one of the few real fighters in it for the right reasons. He's a bit arrogant.. but it's not to be boastful or to puff himself up like other guys, he's just stating facts as he see's it. Most people just call that confidence.

[HyperColours]

@SkepticHeathen No your gut feeling was right, he is a wanker. Just like he was on the show.

[PaulFallen408]

I like his name. George Sotiropoulos, George Sotiropoulos. George Sotiropoulos won by unanimous decision.

[Evocati2008]

@PaulFallen408

"Now batting..George Sotiropoulos"

yeah i like that

[finishembird]

he is a beast.

[TheFuzzynandez]

George Sotiropolous is really good fighter and his ground game is very impressive. Although I still cant spell his name right without using Google.

[JacenSean]

Aussie Aussie Aussie!!

[thefightingclub1]

quite an arrogant little cunt this aussie prick is lol

[1p0]

@thefightingclub1 when you win, you can be as arrogant as you want

[juffan]

Sotiropoulos is my favourite lightweight

[yogesh892]

i like this guy, he seems like a good hard working ordinary man. but i think he needs one more fight till a title shot

[infokriegerBerlin]

grrek power

[Labib96]

Maynard vs. Florian- Next shot at the Title

Loser of Edgar vs. Penn- Next Fight for George Sotiropoulos.

If George looks good and wins then he should get a title shot.

[blindbrad11]

@Labib96 ufc doesn't match up losers against winners

[Labib96]

@blindbrad11 Last Night-Chris Lytle vs. Matt Brown.

Matt Brown lost his last fight to Ricardo Almeida.

Lytle got SOTN against Brian Foster. Well, they can also maybe match up George with the winner of Jim Miller vs. Gleison Tibau or even Evan Dunham.

[blindbrad11]

@Labib96 they do sometimes but not as much as they do winners against winners or losers against losers.

[jonny232323232323]

@blindbrad11 damian maia vs alan belcher?

[blindbrad11]

@jonny232323232323 want me to tell you all the fights that were winners v winner and losers v loser? more times then not they match up winners v winners.

[jonny232323232323]

@blindbrad11 the match making is done on lots of things, not just winner vs loser. every has there place on the lader if they lose they go down n if they win they go up and the matches are just people meeting in the middle, it could be two guys going up or a guy coming from title contention to a guy moving up that way etc etc

joe silva does the matchmaking and has alot of factors to consider, u cany say why he matches people up can u

[blindbrad11]

@jonny232323232323 my comment is going to far lol what i was trying to say is that george wont get the loser of the maynard florian fight

[blindbrad11]

eddie bravo rubber guard aka crack head control!! geroge showcased it well in his last 2 fights!!

[krazyxtwisted]

Wow strong gay moment @ 3:45

George and Ariel about to fuck each other after the interview.

[FrankGarrett316]

I hate how DEFENSIVE he sounds in this interview. Like he has something to prove. STFU, everyone knows you're a great fighter.

[joeguy02]

Shave 2 inches off of Ariel's nose and you have George's twin brother.

[joeydipp]

Is Sotiropoulos Greek? He sounds like a aussie. 

[OmegaForceZ]

@joeydipp he is an aussie

[blindbrad11]

@joeydipp his last name is greek but he is from Australia

[YUNAN87]

@joeydipp He is greek born in australia,enouph with that...

[tristanv1]

I've been a fan of George since the TUF days i like the way he carries himself in & out the ring. for mei want to see him face Gray Manard for the No.1 contender spot.

[juni172]

@w00oo00oot haha your right!

[TheMadRaver]

I knew George was gonna win this. Love to watch him fight, he's a crafty bastard.

[wiley218]

@w00oo00oot lol

[hempster92]

Give this man a title shot.

[merrickmcbride16]

they could be twins

[HomeOfBritishBoxing]

[HmongYou2Tube]

Haha. They kinda look like bros don't they? Lol, whatever. Good questions.

[TopazSkillMauler]

From ufc 116 i made 10k from betting. Every bet was right. I bet 5000$ on lesnar

[fruges12]

Hey Ariel, man you're a really good interviewer. Congrats on your success.

[bm2g]

[attack7672]

Why is there a safe mode on the comments?

[SinisterSkip]

@attack7672

Don't know either. Probably because people are trying out those lameass html function scripts.

[Shreedhan]

@attack7672 Just incase, you never know, you don't want the terrorists to win do you?! lol
