The fact Pfl contacted Ariel after they found out Gegard was coming on the show tells you all you need to know about pfl😂
Could you imagine Ariels reaction if it was the UFC doing this to a top fighter they acquired from another promotion?
You can clearly hear him walking on eggshells trying his hardest to not downtalk PFL 😂😂
Yep, Ariel is A-moral through and through.
such a weasel move from them, and Ariel gave them too much credit that's lame
👌
Yet they won’t contact Mousasi who is arguably one of the biggest names outside of the ufc. These guys don’t have a clue what they’re doing. Just give us Romero vs Mousasi at 205
This dude has fought since the beginning of mma Japan, USA, Europe in multiple weight classes. 49 wins and been only KO by the fluke kick by Uriah Hall. And is only 38 years old.
Most ppl don’t realize his legendary status.
shouldve never left ufc imo. hes been a killer
Karate Combat should be calling his managers ASAP! Gegard vs Rockhold is a must!
louder for the people at the back (newbies)
@@lefty5569they wouldn’t give him the title shot. The ufc favorited Bisping, GSP, Hendo, Yoel even Whittaker - lucky for us Rob is legit and proved it. Gegard was denied and lowballed while bellator prob gave him 5x more per fight.
He is a victim of his own success you could say.
Too good of a fighter to be bullied about match ups and too much of dutch attitude to get his money 😂.
True Legend!
But Ariel said PFL was The Promised Land for years 😂😂😂
It could have been. Look at the success Dave Freedman has created in Bare Knuckle. It all comes down to management skills and this Don Davis run PFellator continues to make baffling decisions that nobody but them can see sense in.
So after all that you bozos go "all aboard lets dump Ariel Helwani". Absolutely mind boggling.
@@xwhite2020” it could have been “ World don’t run on coulda, shoulda, woulda 😂
@@nnnjh8372 You couldn't be more wrong. The whole investment and speculation industry (the biggest industry on Earth) runs on looking forward.
But no, lets focus on hip catch phrases and dumping on MMA media.
@@xwhite2020the issue is that he doesn't keep the same energy for pfl that he does for the UFC. Theres no fair baseline. Journalistic integrity. Making decisions based off emotions because of his vendetta against the UFC
@@vipset87 Sure Ariel can be infuriating but lets face it he's the only big name media guy even giving it air time.
Gegard is right, pfl acting like he signed a bigger deal right before the sale and they didn’t know. You’re buying a multimillion dollar mma organization you know everyone’s contract. They are stalling him on purpose because they don’t want to pay, shady business on pfl side.
Ariel defending PFL is unbelievable. Such a lack of integrity.
Hes a snake
Eventually he's going to get caught doing something really stupid and he'll be blacklisted for it. It's only a matter of time.
unfortunately it's quite believable, but morals and fight business seem to gel together as well as oil and water
Gegard is speaking truth. Much respect
Ariel, make sure to call Ngannou, you said he was going to PFL and making sure the fighters came first unkike the UFC, this seems the opposite of that.
Francis just buried his 15 month old son. I doubt he ever fights mma again.
Ngannou truly never really cared. And after this tragedy with his son he's likely never gonna fight again
PFL is going to be gone in about 2 years. So much for fighters first until they want to be first.
What about “PFL Africa”? 🤣🤣🤣
@@irvinflores62842 years is giving them too much credit. They might not even make the end of this year.
Helwani giving PFL the benefit of the doubt that he will NEVER give UFC, what a 🤡.
U Fight Cheap doesn't deserve it either completely exploiting the ones who got them where they are now and not even giving their fighters 10% share
Factually incorrect, sir. Your comment has been…. DISREGARDED. 😂
Imagine Dana helps him out with the lawsuit 😂
it would be great if he sign him to fight in the UFC
Bros still good that’d be so sick
@@pepe7drum
Bros old and way past it and wasn’t even that great when was in his prime in ufc lol 😂
@@pepe7drumkeep waffling tho
@@haga7596 He was on a 5 fight winning streak with a win over Weidman before he left. Was on the cusp of a title shot.
PFL sucks
If it's PFL Ariel doesn't bash too hard but if it was UFC he would have a field day.
And why is that? Finish the thought
One of the most underrated fighters in the UFC.
He was fun
Don Davis is a clown. The fact that they still haven’t combined PFL and Bellator, when MANY people including fighters, journalists, etc say it’s confusing
And now multiple fighters claiming they’re being ignored says a lot about them
Honestly the Bellator fighters don't like PFL, and for legitimate reasons.
For network reasons they have to run bellator for another year before merging I think
Donn Davis isn’t a clown dumbass he’s a genius finally building mma the right way for the masses
@@meatrocket6979Nobody watches PFL let alone Bellator💀
@@meatrocket6979 Donn get some help buddy reading youtube comments and replying on your burner is just unhealthy 😂
Wow Dana was 100% right about them
Dana is still worse 🗑️ taking their sponsors and paying them so low they trying to get boxing matches constantly
Pfl and Donn are by far the best mma promotion Dana sucks
@dariancollins9746 the people taking boxing matches are no longer in the ufc because they got released. The only person who boxed while still contracted to the ufc was mcgregor.
@@mattnoriega4842 no ur wrong what about Anderson Silva or askers or Thiago Albee or pettis ur wrong
@@mattnoriega4842 R u living under a rock, their paper champ who got fast tracked O'Malley has been calling out Gervonta and Garcia for awhile most recently because they arent paid worth a damn
Pfl are snakes for this, seriously
If the UFC was doing this Ariel would be hammering them by using Gegard’s frustration.
Bisping DUCKED Mousasi!!!!
Bisping, Rockhold, Silva, so many UFC guys ducked Gegard.
Ducked Whittaker too. And just ended up getting dropped and choked out by GSP🤦♂️
Bisping ducked EVERYPNE N REMATCH DAN WHICH HE LOST
AND THE KORRUPTION IN THE UK GAVE HIM DA BELY BUT U KNOW WAT
BLAYEDS, BELAL AND BOBBY
ALL WINNING JUST FOR DAT
@@kodywalkerunfiltered came here to say the same thing.
Bisping ducked the entire middleweight division as champion. People complain about Bones today but probably weren’t around for when Bisping made middleweight stangant when it was arguably the most stacked it had ever been.
Ariel, i have the upmost respect for you, but your shilling for PFL is embarrassing. Gegard is explaining the situation and you are brushing over it like its nothing and "it is what it is" type of attitude. If this was the UFC you would be shouting from the rooftops.
Pfl feels he's not worth the money there paying him. He's a legend and there treating him like a bum.
Where's all the media who were saying that PFLator will be good for the sport & the fighters, having not thought it through but pretending they care about all that, when in reality they were pushing that narrative just bc they thought PFLator will be a thorn in UFC's backside & they jump on anything like that. When has less organisations & competition ever been good, with 2 organisations becoming one? It only seemed good to people with an underlying anti-UFC sentiment.
It’s one guy. Fighters have been complaining my for decades in mma and boxing
You tried to cram too many thoughts into that paragraph. I gave up half way thru like most.
Where you at Donn Davis 😂
Impossible that PFL didn't do a due diligence before buying the company. If it is true that bellator signed Gegard contract in bad faith, pfl should honor the contract and sue Bellator
Of course they did diligence and knew the updated terms. Ariel clueless & Donn Davis is a liar
@@The_Most_Hye yup no way they were not aware, it was a deal worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Like he said there's no way they didn't have lawyers look into every crack of the deal.
PFL will probably be gone in less than 5 years anyway. It's a shame because Bellator was at least a halfway decent MMA org in comparison.
Someone is eventually going to create a promotion on the level of Bellator/Strikeforce .
Ariel bending the knee to PFL. Embarrassing.
How so? He’s a journalist that listens to who gives him interviews- PFL leadership is on this show, UFC leadership refuses. How’s he gonna quote and support Dana and Trevor with nothing to go off of. Simple if you use your eyes, ears, and brain.
Love Gegard
Dude is jus dryly hilarious. Shame he left the UFC in his prime
You can thank U Fight Cheap's exceedingly growth in greediness by taking the sponsorship💰
Didn't Dana say this last year and people got mad???
Imagine what Ariel would say if it was the ufc doing this 😂 Ariel is legit biased. This is all Francis fault we all said pfl is gonna go bankrupt or screw over other fighters by giving him the deal they did
Ariel a complete weasel
I'm personally disappointed in Francis. I thought he signed to be a voice for the fighters. He's invisible.
Lol you believed that BS?
Lol you believed that. I like Francis and my heart breaks he lost his son but him signing with PFL was a money move
@@phyuckyu hes heartbroken about his kid thats for sure, karma comes in diff ways
Franics got greedy. He should stayed within the UFC
@@jjtoobizzare8127you need help mate
Ariel running interference. PFL must have promised him a seat by the cage. Ariel is such an MMA OG it’s a shame that he has become so biased against the UFC.
Karate Combat should sign Gegard. He would be great there.
Ariel you have to critic pfl bellator the same way you do with ufc. Be consistent, figher pay is applicable to all organizations
Donn Davis will be on Monday to do more political talking gymnastics to sound like the smartest guy in the room
Can’t stand that fraud
Hope so.
Gegard, my washing machine is broken right now too and its been a pain to find someone competent to fix it... I feel your pain!
They released him after this that just goes to say what PFL is
Ariel is obnoxiously defensive of the PFL in this interview, absolutely horrible journalism
The fact that Ariel thinks hes a journalist is hilarious. He also cant get interviews with half the popular fighters now. Glad he got what he deserved.
Ariel is insufferable.
Underrated legend. I agree on signing him for big money at this point but he deserves his respect. At one point he was top 5 middleweight and dangerous a f against anyone.
"the washing machine broke down" was golden lol
eating potatoes and watching late night movies 😂😂😂
Got to love Gregard I never understood why the UFC cut him
😂😂😂
@@beazybthey didn’t cut him. Bellator just offered a lot more
These fighters can't get paid cos they paid too much for ngannou. Weird pfl sucks.
lol if this was the UFC, Ariel would be going after them
PFL needs to honor those bellator contracts
Wait but Ariel told me PFL was a financially healthy organization paying fighters their “worth” .. Francis said he’s got a deal to pay his opponents 2M.. how many fights has he fought? lol whole thing is a clown show
No, Ariel reported what PFL told him.
@@robertdavison3738 if Ariel was dumb enough to jump on his soapbox and shout it out to the world, he’s validating the source.
It's unfortunate that we didn't get to see Gegard stay in UFC & compete against the later wave of athletes & potentially challenge for the championship. He's a solid, well rounded fighter & has an entertaining humorous personality. UFC lowballed him & didn't want to pay the man his worth. I respect his decision to leave & get paid elsewhere, but as a fan of the the sport it's a bummer to wonder 'what if'.
Edit: Spelling
Ariel is a weasel and couldnt care less about the fighters. He only cares about his own interests. Way to embrace the stereotype.
Don Davis is the biggest clown 😂
Lol. But I thought every other MMA promotion was so much better and more fair than the UFC? It's ok Gegard, BKFC will pay you to get knocked out
Gegard is not like other washed fighters, could have been a ufc champ before he left tbh
Casual comment
Casual comment
@itsZukka he could've smoked Bisping but I never saw him beating Whittaker, Romero, or Jacare
@@thenedsmmachannel8970 yeah it would of been good to see the match ups, I agree with Whittaker and Yoel being tough idk about jacre
I thought Francis came to PFL for equal pay for all fighters, not just himself.
"Fighter first" lol
It's wild the PFL released him shortly after this interview
this is Elite xc all over again
He looks like Peter Andre
Maybe Gegard should contact PFL's Fighter Advocacy Jake Paul /s
Ariel is a weasel
And u pay?? 🤣🤣🤣
@@Bigups_jr right he says that while paying this channel every month, what a bozo
@@a-q9414He's right but why is he paying?
Such bull ish. Maybe, read a book and enjoy some solo fresh air. There’s hope for you and your happiness yet.
You need an argument when trying to make a point
Always liked Gegard ,shame boldy Dana didn't give him bigger contract and let him go to Bellator, he was top MW at that time and deserved good contract
Atleast the UFC was like go somewhere else bro. PFL is holding him and literally not even talking to him and PFL tries to make themselves the good guys
All big organizations are 🗑️ and greedy
i heard they let him go after this interview
PFL absorbed Bellator for no reason.
Gegard is a class act. He's always been. PFL needs to be more professional. They've made themselves a joke.
Ive actually supported ariel since 2005. Im so conflicted cuz hes done so much good for MMA but its clear this isnt the same person anymore people change. Journalistic integrity isnt priority anymore
BuT uFc Is StILl ThE wOrSt
Ur mom to
How is it possible that they can just cherry pick which contracts they want and don't want? Thats not how buying a company works, you buy the company you take on all the contracts and responsibilities.
Fascinating
Ariel can’t stand that Dana White was right about the PFl and Bellator merger lol 😂
Ariel “what do you mean they don’t want to talk to you?” Ariel is a college graduate. Asking someone what do you mean if they don’t want to talk to you. I didn’t graduate from college barely graduated high school but when someone says they don’t want to talk to you. There’s literally only one meaning when someone says they don’t want to talk to you. What did you think he meant? 🤦♂️
Gegard Mousasi is one of the goats of MMA for sure.
Ariel is speechless . How dare this Mousasi fellow say that PFL is the worst organization in the world ? Didnt he get the memo (from ariel) that UFC is the worst one ?
Gegard such a chill dude. Almost 60 pro fights as well, what a career.
PFL buying big organization like Bellator definitely not good for the sport, Competition is good, unlike acquisition
He seems like such a good dude.
Legend the most underrated fighter of all time
Gegard has done too much for this sport for the past 20 years to be treated like this, **F** PFL & **F** UFC
Ufc didn’t do him wrong at all he left the ufc to go to bellator because he got paid more and title shot but he’s got good things to say about ufc
Ariel doesn’t press PFL. Come on man
Wow just heard that PFL cut Mousasi after hearing this interview. Hope he sues and gets what he’s deserved.
haha lol @ 12:00
Our boy SWEET AND SASSY
There's no way the PFL is going to sign contracts to buy a fight promotion without looking VERY carefully at the talent they get with the deal. They knew.
PFL must be paying Ariel some money to flip on Cris Cyborg of all people, this guys been up her ass for years, guess now that her and Dana ain't at war every week Ariel all of a sudden doesn't care either 😂
Total badass! I was watching his Belfort fight. Vitor was 39 there but hey, it was slaughter.
This is the exact opposite of when Ariel tries to get UFC fighters to trash the UFC.
I do find it ironic that all the fighters who didn't get paid by the UFC or not complaining about not getting paid by other people. Maybe it's them and not the company they work for.
Unfortunately this happens in every walk of business and to people who's ability does not waiver.
PFL is hemorrhaging money
Love Gegard. Great fighter. Very entertaining.
WOW! PFL talked so much ish about being the company for the fighter…. Basically said this would NEVER happen. Cmon PFL CEO, get on this show and explain your side ASAP or i will stop giving PFL a chance as an MMA fan.
Francis? You got any pull in this? This fighter is a LEGEND
What a shameful situation.
That’s why MVP moved to UFC
This man has defeated all the greats of this field
they are doing the same to douglas lima.
Watch his past fights and you’ll hear the whole arena chanting his name.
Hope everything works out for This Fell'a
First guy UFC will poach from PFL…this dude is on his last run but still is a top contender.
That’s crazy
I wouldn’t pay Douglas Lima millions either
They should of knew that before they spent money buying a company and had his deal changed. Don’t run a business but I know to check for stuff like that simple stuff to know what wages your paying and to who
One of my favourite fighters ever.
Been a HUGE fan since the Babalu fight. Top 5 GOATED fighter
Don is a bad biz man , not just this but the whole plan is a mess. I don't understand the plan. Francis others signed but still no fight and another loss and his stock goes to zero. They don't have any names and seem to bleed money. Cyborg hasn't fought even. Crazy.
This man is a legend PERIOD
I watch late night movies.
Ariel: which ones?
Gegard: the one which washing machine breaks down 😂😂😂😂
Gegard Mousasi is MMA elite! Fought in all the top MMA organisations and won multiple belts! Bonkers letting this fighter sit on the sidelines! Shame on PFL! Fighters should unite and sue the hell out of the new PFL owners!!
