He did great. He can fight some
No such thing as a former marine. Did Ariel learn nothing from his best bud Luke Thomas?
Thank you on behalf of all Veterans
He looks like Luke Thomas if he ate another Luke Thomas.
F this guy.
Why are his teeth whiter than his AirPods
Cash grab
This guys a tool man 🤦♂️ this is definitely a ego thing. You could have started a charity instead of this.
I hope they at least gave him an older opponent
Us military only exists to steal oil from poor countries
Venezuela has more oil than Saudi Arabia. Why hasn’t the US military invaded a socialist dictatorship in its own hemisphere? Why hasn’t the US-if oil is the only reason for the US military to exist-invoked the Monroe Doctrine as it always has to squash conflicts on this side of the word as peacekeepers, there’s historical precedence to do this. Why are poor countries poor? Why is it that an immensely valuable commodity doesn’t make them rich as it does us? You should expect better of yourself and your opinions.
How about you raise awareness on the 'forever wars' and the ludicrous spending on these 'wars' that end up wasting lives on each side for an ulterior motive?
@Chris Lee Glad you cleared that up. All the best.
@Elliott Spence I know I’m saying people would rather virtue signal like “oh wow he is serving his country and protecting our freedoms” but in reality we are just killing innocent people because we don’t like their government and want their resources
@Chris Lee I work for a news publication. Like you, I'm using an alias, but my reasons are so the news outlet I work for, doesn't get shadow-banned. No virtue signalling here, when what I do for a living is actually investigate and report on the military industrial complex and have done so for over 10 years.
But virtue signaling is better don’t ya know!
don’t be a good neighbor
Luke wrote his dad a letter and Lex still hasn’t opened it. They need to make up.
Is that shitty bookshelf only being held up by the books? Looks like it.
"Hold my rolodex boys I'm going in"
Jesus, the lockdown has not been king to Luke Thomas.
This dude got huge ego
Why...
Hope he wins.
And no interviews about Bellator tommorow with such exciting fight coming up? Cmon guys
@Big Mack wait for the Cornball to come call u a causal lmao
Bellator mostly sucks.. they have such afwul matchmaking.. I am a die hard MMA fan and I watch every UFC and bellator and other cards. But lately Bellator has just been making bad fights, their prelims are unwatchable and only few fights are good. Also the camerawork sucks.. I wish they were better and it's in everybody best interest to have many promotions but they need to hire some people to get their promotion in order and cut some fighters who aren't good... and stop trying to be "as good as UFC" because they are not. and Big John and the other guy need to stop shitting on the UFC and Dana in their videos, it doesn't help them, as far as I'm concerned it just puts people who love the UFC like me off.. Also! Stop making too old fighters fight in some money grabbing fights.
Honestly most people don’t give a fck about bellator..
Lots of respect to this man, h
Oh so cute
How can I watch his fight and contribute to his cause
Lex McMahon vs Dana White. Battle of the promoters. Not the McMahon we wanted or expected, but it's a McMahon
Props to Lex!
How many times Lex McMAHON says "you know" 👉
49 years old wow.. We also upload interviews with a different twist than regular MMA journalists. Give it a try!
@Nomaan Alwi Slightly different circumstances... Herschel was still in amazing condition from his NFL career and he had a body like Yoel Romero that looked like he was in his 20's not 40's lol. This guy is almost 50 and doesn't even look like he's in shape
Remember Herschell Walker debuted in MMA at 47!
49? 59...
Btw. Guy got some great chompers for 49 😁
Where can I watch these cards at??? Pretty cool he wants to do what other men do since he profits from it. I like it. You're never to old. You just gotta level up the competition.
Is he fighting Luke Thomas for greyest beard ?
Respect
Guru Army
Respect, I hope he wins the Event... But his cause is almost untouchable. I wish i had someone like that to guide me threw fighting/ growing as a man.
Reads title "When they TrT kicks In"

Odd.

Yes, you can definitely see the resemblance.
No a distant relative

Yes

Mid life crisis
