    Anyone hear this interview? ****ing hell it sounded bad.

    Bonnar came on and was asked by Ariel about being caught for steroids and he basically admitted on then went on a barely coherent rant about it for 10 minutes then left after being shouted at by his wife (which you could hear) was actually a little bit weird and saddening.

    Mark Hunt done a Skype interview after as well which was pretty cool.

    Oh, no that's bad.

    What about Colin Fletcher? Was he on it?

    Hope he doesn't go all Chris Benoit on us. He's clearly been using for years.

    I wonder if he will develop the same mentality Forrest has whenever he goes into a fight or spar and that is no matter what it cant possibly be a worse outcome than his fight against Anderson

    I was shocked too because he came off as intellectual in TUF, but now it sounds like he's had too many ring wars and painkillers.

    and Ariel basically sorted Hunt out to get that JDS fight. Pretty top stuff from the guy, even Hunt was more than thankful at the end there.

    Bonnar just kind of confused me and danced around those questions. Good job.

    To be fair, I think Ariel Helwani is great at his job and great for MMA.

    Yeah I get that he's a geeky jewish guy and all that but seriously, look at the chemistry he has with fighters like Hunt.

    Hunt is probably the most closed off/personal guy in all MMA and Ariel Helwani has him giving interviews 6 am in the morning laughing and joking with his kids and all the rest of it.

    Who else could make a fighter break down their barriers like that really?

    Look at what he's done with Rampage who's notoriously a **** to interview.

    He's a pro at his job.

    Yeah, Ariel has a way with fighters it seems. It's so odd really :lol: Even his stuff with Mayhem is classic.
