FanHouse's Backstage with Ed Soares, Part 1

[NationofArmenia]

Like 99% of the fans of UFC, I hate Ed Soares but I don't know why

[BlindPacemaker]

So did you cut the bit when he talks about Maia? I was waiting to hear his evaluation of the fight and it cuts... Not good.

[masterbum82]

Ed Soares would make a scary ass MMA fighter himself haha!

[Dilly5]

Ed Soares is cool

[momomp3]

ED SOARES IS AWESOME YOU ALL ARE JUST HATING CAUSE HE'S CLOSER TO THE BEST FIGHTERS IN THE WORLD THEN YOU WILL EVER BE HE IS THE VOICE OF HIS FIGHTER BECAUSE MOST OF THEM ARE NOT FLUENT IN ENGLISH ~ to all the hatres

[dwarrenjr]

If I said all you Soares haters were just being racist....

[KevinWood44]

WHy the hell do you interview this clown?? He deserves absolutely NOOOOO recognition!! He is a friggin manager!! Nothing more, not a trainer....he is a NOBODY!! Let him run Sinister and manager his fighters (biased as always)

Ariel I love you....u are the man, but there is NOOO reason to even talk to this asshole!!! Please dont ever give this dick the spot lite ever again!

[Fazotronic]

@KevinWood44 watch what ariel says at the end of the second part...

your a clown that nobody cares...

[tristanv1]

@CondemnedPhury Like many things my greatness tolerates that will also be added to the list.

[Deej1188]

hmmm..I don't think Leites laying on his back is the same as Anderson running around in Abu Dhabi. Sure Maia went for some lame takedowns but I was never a big fan of fighters who taunted their opponents just so they could counter. Props to Sonnen for attempting to bring the fight to Silva.

[signboyy]

this was pretty interesting learning about his backstory about how he became a manager for fighters.

great job ariel.

[Punchy871]

great interview!! 

[superultramegamighty]

Its 2010 for christ sake give me some color! I know your inspired by the reem documentary but the black and white also sucks in that film... I would rather watch it in color and there is no point in making it black and white, unless you just want it to be some cheesie artsy fartsy half limping fetus of an attempt to make something interesting. Its not working its distracting me from the interview and its anoying me.. please give me back color!

[Gubby007]

@superultramegamighty I don't even watch them; I go do something else and listen--- so color for me is pointless. They're simply talking and no amount of anything changes the fact that they are just talking. So---:P

[superultramegamighty]

@Gubby007 I hope I didnt sound like a hater.. Im a big fan of Helwani, I just prefer his videos in color..

[signboyy]

@superultramegamighty

lol yeah i bet he got the idea from the reem documentary

[tgo007]

I don't quite follow his story about sinister clothing. He was offered the deal by the friend, and he took him up on it because he had 100k in orders? Where did those come from. Surely the friend did not know about this. To me, it sounds like he basically stole the company with some secret insider information.

[oluwakamau]

@tgo007 As Ed said, his friend's heart wasn't in the business or he didnt care too much about it... so i think regardless whether or not his friend knew about the 100k orders, he just wasn't going to own the company anymore and decided to sell it to Ed

[KiwiDillan23]

who the fuck is ed sores?

[whydoiloveowning]

@KiwiDillan23 anderson silvas translater is who hes known as now

[Jaremus]

@KiwiDillan23 A manager of many Brazilian fighters. Silva's, Machida's, Leites' and I think Nogueira's too.

[supercholoman]

@Jaremus and junior dos santos

[tristanv1]

@CondemnedPhury I was joking when i wrote Dana should fire them.

but its still annoying that they do spell their names that way. btw, i remember in one interview Nogueira said "Handy", and i was like who the hell is Handy?! then i realized he meant to say Randy. it's not enough they mess with their own names...now they're even starting to botch other peoples names...wtf?!!

[RobbyRichards]

I thought this guy was just a linguist lol

He made all the right moves and had the balls to do it. He definetly deserves to be where he is today, amazing story.

[enoistv]

Mad respect for Ed Soares! He's a true professional.

[nonphixional1]

why are people hating on ed, you don't even know the guy. just cuz he aint a pro fighter doesn't mean you have to always challenge his words. he sounds cool. he seems like a competitive entrepreneur and a good business partner. give him a break...

[tristanv1]

@CondemnedPhury Your right. i forgot also that Shogun & the Nogueira brothers do that same stupid shit. where they spell their names with an "R" instead of an "H". brazilians should understand this is english not portugese, and start pronouncing their names correctly. Else Dana White will have to cut them from the UFC.

[dwarrenjr]

@tristanv1

Racism personified.

[TheHaybot]

@tristanv1 they don't LIVE in the US, they don't have to learn English

[JAH619]

Ariel Helwani P4P best interviewer in the world of sports!

[Atlixco1984]

I don't know what "cool" people have said about him, to me he just comes out as a jerk every time he's on those ufc specials and I don't know if that's the real Ed soars or if the ufc is making him look like an ass

[D3vilm4n]

Keep drinking Lyoto's piss and stop talking

[py2o3434]

@D3vilm4n u mad?

[Fazotronic]

ppl know nothing about ed. they just heard someone "cool" that said something bad about him and now his just a dick...

stupid idiots..

[MrH347]

ed soares is a joke, wow he can speak English and Portuguese, i guess that means he can speak for everyone else around him, he is the biggest joke ever

[Fazotronic]

@MrH347 lol... do you even know whats his job?

[commonsen5e]

@MrH347 You just explained what he gets paid to do you moronic Jive Turkey.

[RuthlessAttitude]

I just have a question: why do u guys hate him just explain why! I will respect ur answer I just wanna know why!?

[DecaMMM]

@RuthlessAttitude Cause he needs to be honest and jus say that Anderson Silva is scare to fight Chael Sonnen again n respect Chael cause Silva got his ass beat thats why he dosnt want the rematch!

[TheMMAFightFan]

@DecaMMM look you freaken douchebag Chael lost he tapped so Shut up there is no reason for a Rematch just because anderson was losing most of the fight does not mean anything just because he is champ don't make him superman he is not going to be doing Great every time but he will always try to find a way to win

Chael had his chance give vitor belfort his then maybe give Chael another shot

[DecaMMM]

@TheMMAFightFan I would answer u in details until u call me "freaken douchebag" for no reason everything else was kool

[commonsen5e]

@RuthlessAttitude It's mostly Pale white albino kids that are saying this ..i'm leaning towards the Blue Eyed Blonde Haired cute looking ones ..you know they usually got a abercrombie shirt and a tap out hoody on top just to spice things up. Who even cares why they hate him ?

[whb786]

Soares is a queer

[yankeesfan0130]

ed soares is the best mma manager

[Garuda1337]

@yankeesfan0130 stfu. do you actually know what ed soares does???

[sorealphear95]

@Garuda1337

Lol, why did you tell him to shut up? He is an mma manager.

[yankeesfan0130]

@Garuda1337 yea he manages the best mma fighters and is the richest mma manager.people dont like him for the stupidist reasons.

[MrDripdrop]

he talks as though he has a penis up his rear end!

[virgopaul1]

GREAT INTERVEIW ARIEL! ANDERSON SILVA THE BEST MMA FIGHTER OF ALL TIME!

[InternetAddict2012]

Ariel always lands bad ass interviews. Respect. Thanks for uploading

[lgnarg]

AWESOME ARIEL

[LucasPicturesUK]

Fuck the haters this guy hasnt done anything wrong and hes great at his job!

[TheThirdTheMagical]

@LucasPicturesUK heh, exactly. Dunno why people are all the sudden hating on the guy... Seems like people are just looking for a reason to hate the guy rather than actually having one.

[chocolatmanbeast]

@LucasPicturesUK sure thing he's a very respectable man, and he's great at his job, but IMO he is the main contributor to the reason why i think that Anderson Silva doesn't seem like a champion, he just seems like a guy who shows up, doesn't respect his job [100% of the time] and beats everyone's ass. Theres a big difference between that and being a champion.

[chocolatmanbeast]

@LucasPicturesUK \people like Matt Hughes, BJ Penn, Wanderlei Silva, Chuck Liddell, Urijah Faber, Brock Lesnar, GSP, Chael Sonne, etc the list goes on, they really know how of sell fights, carry the sport, and you get to see their personalities which makes this sport unique, but Anderson Silva doesn't strike me as one of those figures. I have to agree with all the comments that Chael says to an extent when he's talking about Anderson Silva being fake, phony, and not respecting the fans enough.

[EpicKiller187]

Ed Soares is dull.

[bright5086200]

soares. Stop talking about fighting. You are a bitch translator. Everyone knows it. And Anderson Silva is not P4P. And Chael beat the fuk out of him. I could buy u off of itunes for translator. haha. i know many will agree but silva fans will disagree with this comment. GO SONNEN!!

[MexicanMetlAC]

@bright5086200

But in the end, Sonnen still lost. He put on a great performance but still got caught in a triangle/triangle armbar.Something that Sonnen REALLY needs to work on.

[JB99LCFC]

@bright5086200

Fuck Ed Soars i hate everything about him down to his smug eyebrows

[chaseyisawesome]

yawn...

[Zttbm]

Ed Soares isn't a bad guy. Anderson's his friend. It's got to be hard to manage your friend without being bias.

[q8ps]

Great Interview

[szczep88]

he's a manager, not interpreter, that's why he doesn't translates exact words

[blanne07]

@szczep88 yeah but he speaks and understands the language plus rogan used to introduce him as his translater.

[MexicanMetlAC]

@szczep88

That's true. Just to clear this shit up, they should just hire a professional translator.

[kai0shin]

this guy is a douche..... Vitor said it the best, " Ed Soares is a clown"

[Ethioness]

@kai0shin shut up omg! what a wannabe

[KAZZARTT]

@kai0shin like vitor belfort talk something but shit.

[EBWReturns]

The fact that people want to interview this guy is just going to boost his inflated ego even more. Nothing against Ariel, you give the people what they want. For some reason that I don't understand, people care what this guy has to say.

[elmeeone]

i never liked ed.....but now he is like what ever...dont hate on him or nuttin..

he is pretty cool.....i guess....

[STEVEiaSTUD]

ed soars was "managing some hip hop bands.".?!?!?!? WHAT THE FUCK. ed soares, gold chain, air jordans, puma suit. it happened.

[KAZEEMA91]

air man u r the best person for this job no 1 can do it better

[SinisterSkip]

Very cool interview.

Again a pro interview only from Ariel the best MMA interviewer around.

Hope to see more of these in depth interviews, really nice man.

Hope you become BIG!

[OPG19872]

<3 Ariel!

[BobReefer]

Fucking hate Ed Soares. Maybe when he starts translating what the fighters ACTUALLY say, then I might have a bit of respect for him.

[Ethioness]

@BobReefer stfu wannabe

[blanne07]

god this bloke is a knob big up to ariel though...u make even the most boring men seem ok lol.

[TheCrookHook]

Ariel, you should have Rashad Evan's winning move when you're in front of other interviewers.

[oWESC]

BEST MMA INTERVIEWER

[L60Videos]

RUN FOR PRESIDENT ARIEL!!!

[TheUndergroundAOTP]

Ariel Helwani The Best MMA Interviewer!!!!

[ekoh8873]

Ariel, when is the UFC going to start paying you to interview fighters? You are the best!

[omission13]

I don't like Ed Soares but I have to admit that this guy knows business.

[dtanktdtank]

@CondemnedPhury its arrogant to think people don't make mistakes

[teyzar]

Ed should really refer to his partner as a BUSINESS partner. I really thought he was gay after talking about his male partner last time in the Lyoto dad interview, only to now find out he's married to a woman, lol.

[R0bert2169]

Sick! Von Dutch was very popular in the Netherlands a couple of years ago.

[Ace2021]

I didn't know Ed came up with the design for Chuck's shorts, cool stuff.

[tristanv1]

Ariel, you should ask Ed why the Gracies spell their names with an "R" instead of the letter "H". it's really annoying that they do that.

[R0bert2169]

@tristanv1 In Portugese when a name starts with an "R" it's pronounced as an "H".

[tristanv1]

@R0bert2169 still is really stupid thing to do. why dont you just spell with the letter "H" like normal people do.

[Jaremus]

@R0bert2169 Dude, that's ignorant. All Portugese pronounce R like English H. All languages pronounce some letters differently. English is just one language between many.

[R0bert2169]

@Jaremus Why am I ignorant for saying that in Portugese an "R" is pronounced as an "H"? I just said it was the case with names, because my knowledge of the language isn't that great.

[Jaremus]

@R0bert2169 I'm sorry. I wrote to a wrong person. I meant 'tristanv1' who wrote ''Why don't you spell like normal people do''

[R0bert2169]

@Jaremus Aah ok, thought something was up, honest mistake I'm sure.

[seancarletonzero]

@tristanv1 They should change their language because it annoys English speaking people. I know Portuguese sounds like Spanish after it's had 7 or 8 drinks but it's not going to change.

[seancarletonzero]

@seancarletonzero the first part was sarcasm and I meant 4 or 5 drinks.

[UFCUKFELLA]

Awesome Thanks Ariel!
