Both Callen and Schaub are drunk.

Callen acts like he’s trying to stop Schaub from mentioning Ariel. Although it was the first thing they jumped into.

Pretty lame response and nothing néw was said.

You could tell Ariel response really bothered him. He mentioned he “slept well” and he mentioned sold out comedy shows in Las Vegas. He invited Ariel to his show but said “oh yeah that’s right, you are banned from Las Vegas” which is obviously not true.

Schaub response was weak. And even though he’s a tool, I’d take his side if he fought Ariel. Slightly though… maybe 51/49 %

My god never saw that, he fucking Ethelred him there lmao

I need to clear the record on this as I have gained new info.
Josh did not delete the tweet and apparently Josh was not trying to plagiarize the tweet since he gave credit to the owner.
The screenshot is real but misleading.

Josh did call out Ariel though for working for “a website” because he (Josh) work as an independent and works for “no one”.
Ariel responded “you work for Bellator”.
Not as good but still lol.

It was a mad magazine ripoff that I liked better as a kid way before that. They had Don Martin at the end of his career.

Break it down as follows…

At worst, Ariel is a poor MMA reporter. However I think even his haters accept that he is the go-to guy for MMA scoops/interviews/news. Jesus, he’s so powerful he has the owner of the UFC banning his ass from events lol. He must be doing something right.

Now look at Shaub. He was a gatekeeper Heavyweight fighter who got his break on an MMA reality show (which he didn’t win). As for his comedy, I thought I’d settle my curiosity and watch one of his ‘stand-up’ vids the other day: some 10 minute skit about wanking to a Hulk Hogan porno. The thing was about as funny as terminal cancer. Let’s be honest about this: Brendan Shaub has found a post-fight career moonlighting as Joe Rogan’s mini-me. He followed him into podcasting, he followed him into comedy, he followed him into fight punditry… and he’s shit at all of them.

Ariel is clearly a much better talker that Brendan. I just watched the Ariel segment for the first time in full and Ariel cooked him.

Does Schaubs response go further than calling Ariel the Ellen of MMA? Because after Ike the 10th time I heard that I turned it off.

Not really. He just kept repeating he’s the Ellen of MMA and no one likes him. Then he kept doing his little Chris Delia thing where he talks fast saying he got fired over and over. Then said he slept well at night like he’s not bothered by Ariel when he clearly is because he basically challenged Ariel to a fight by saying come say it in my face yada yada.

Cracked was the shit back in the day, liked MAD too but Cracked was better for sure, that’s a blast from the past, forgot all about those magazines as a kid

Oh man that’s glorious stuff from Helwani! No offence to Josh and Big John but listing to those guys is like listing to paint dry, especially John’s Bellator commentary, respect the guy but he’s horrible on the stick.

At what point do we stop picking sides and just remind ourselves these are supposed to be grown men… Acting like this? MMA news must be slower than I thought
