Worked with Oban in a school (he was also working in Nando’s in the evening too) The kids had untold respect for him, as did the staff. To see the journey unfold like this is truly incredible Cymru Am Byth 🏴
Oban is basically the exact opposite to Ian Machado Gary. He's not trying to be anything he isn't. just a no BS honest and likeable guy and you just can't help but wish him success. He could definitely become a working class hero in the fight game for Wales, taking a fans around the world as McGregor and Hatton did for Ireland/England. No pressure! Good luck to him.
Brother, do you genuinely think Ian is trying to be someone he’s not? I’m actually so curious - he’s a bit cringe at times and sure, less likable than Oban, but he’s exactly who he says he is: a family man, blue-chip welterweight prospect who has as good a chance as any to be a champion one day.
Ariel, I love how good you are at what you do and listening to you really helps me. Last year I lost my 21yr old son to cancer and life has been so hard for us. I don't get out much or do anything really anymore. Going to work is the only reason I get out of bed in the morning. He was called Bradley ( Bradderz) and was such a good human being who never gave up. Listening to your interviews keeps me going and I just wanted to say thank you for doing what you do. 👍🙏💙
We don't truly lose someone in my opinion. When I think of my Grandad now I smile and sometimes laugh. That must mean that he IS funny not WAS funny as I am laughing NOW. All the best to you and your family
This guy is great. Will be rooting for him in his fighting career. He seems very down to earth humble guy. Very grateful for the position he's in. Also love Ariel and his interactions with people. Very great interview. More like a natural conversation.
And this is why fighters need Ariel! He makes guys likeable and gives them the platform to show the mma community 😂go they are. So cool. Oban seems so cool.
Oban’s a top top notch guy! Proper Welsh lad. Has it all fighter wise,and for anyone who doesn’t know, Merthyr has been, amongst many things, where dreams go to die. Wish the world for him. Deserves nothing but greatness. Hope the course he has set continues in the direction it’s so far not deviated from, which is straight to the top. So soooo deserving of success. And talk about doing it on the world stage. KO at MSG!!!! Talk about a Gangster Dragon!! Bravo!! Doing himself, his family, coaches, friends and the home country proud!! 🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴
Marshman was pathetic. Bret was seriously lacking In fight iq and Shore has been seriously mismanaged by the ufc. I would say on purpose in favour of promoting Pimblett. They'll probably do the same to oban
Hey Ariel Can you just put timestamps... Because many people want to hear some statements from fighter as soon as podcast begins so for them timestamps can help at lot.
Does Ariel know that Bisping is the man. Callin bisping a bootlicker is the view we have of Ariel. Constantly hating on Dana, ufc. Bias towards Jake Paul, PFL. He is more of a shill than bisping cuz atleast bisping gets paid and has respect of his peers. Nobody would watch this if the fighters quit coming.
Its the butterfly effect. If things happened any differently he wouldn't be where he is now. Including the death of his father had an effect on him and his life moving forward.
Hope someone tells Oban not to overthink before speaking. Because he is stuttering way too much. You can see he is over thinking while speaking causing him these breaks. Guy's got charisma, so he just needs to speak from the heart. Was pretty irritating to listen to the entire thing
Subscribed yesterday, unsub today....wish grown ppl would understand you dont need to swear to be cool. Thought you were more mature Ariel, I was wrong. The world revels in cursing and vulagarity...i will not be part of this sick world.

One of my mates worked with him on the railways said he’s a top bloke
Areil is the kinda guy to tip his beer out while you're distracted
😭😭
And rightly so. Alcohol is poison.

Oban is so fucking likeable. What a gem.
Just off the first min. Immediately became a fan.

@@cjetrainPeople just don't like him so they say these things. It's weird.
People love the Irish. Scouse, manc. They haven't got to know the Welsh yet. Oban is the living embodiment of Wales. True gentleman. True warrior
People love the scouse? More like despise mate 😂
@Theganjaman88 I thought people loved paddy and till?
@themightydragon710 scousers do yes, normal English folk HATE scousers
Who are they? The Welsh are well known.
@@themightydragon710Some people like them some people don't. No nation is universally liked.

Oban Elliot will be a superstar and im here for it. Well done big man, all the way to the top.
As a Canadian I find it much easier to route for the uk fighters, they’re such likeable characters for the most part.
Tbh behaviourally you lot are probably more similar to us than the americans its just the accent would suggest otherwise
Love this fucking guy.
He is the essence of wholesome
This guy OBAN is absolutely amazing and it’s so good to see how humble he is about this moment I wish him all the best such a nice guy 😊
This guys a rough diamond i hope ufc look after him the ufc needs these characters
Love this bloke 🏴
That DC shout on Derek Cleary is the best thing I've heard in a while
Fellow Welshman here, routing for Elliot all the way, go on lad, Cymru am Byth🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴
Cymru Am Byth😊
Too see Helwani drink a beer live I can know die happy man. Thank you buddy
This is the best interview oban has got Ariel steaming on the beers 🍻
I don't even think Oban realises how much of a top man he is. Hope he goes a long way. Fan here.
This is so dope seeing someone who had a dream, that I am sure very little believed in, and then it gets accomplished, better than how the dream went.
Honestly so happy for Oban, he's such a genuine guy who's worked hard to live his dream. More power to him!
Oban is such an inspiration to many not only from his humble origins of wales but Americans too. God bless you oban
This guy is great. Will be rooting for him in his fighting career. He seems very down to earth humble guy. Very grateful for the position he's in. Also love Ariel and his interactions with people. Very great interview. More like a natural conversation.
OBAN ONE KENOBI THE WELSH GANGSTER JEDI
Oban Elliott's a beast securing his first UFC knockout win at MSG what a performance you absolutely smashed it fairplay mate 👊👊
It is written oban. Well done fella.
You're a stud Oban! such a likeable guy and a hell of a fighter. Consider me subscribed brother.
And this is why fighters need Ariel! He makes guys likeable and gives them the platform to show the mma community 😂go they are. So cool. Oban seems so cool.
Ariel needs fighters man. Don’t get it twisted.
Loving the new show Ariel on top of his game lately. Loving the more freedom , kicking it back with a beer is so British - felt like two mates
what a great guy to listen to and a brilliant role model for young fighters and people for that matter 👌
Great hearing the Welsh man, he's a class act!
“What’s more believable?”
Yes Oban my guy, you’ve got this. Champ champ
Proper uk way of opening a beer with the teeth lol
Oban’s a top top notch guy! Proper Welsh lad. Has it all fighter wise,and for anyone who doesn’t know, Merthyr has been, amongst many things, where dreams go to die. Wish the world for him.

Following the footsteps of bret, marshman and jack! Well done mate 🏴
Marshman was pathetic. Bret was seriously lacking In fight iq and Shore has been seriously mismanaged by the ufc. I would say on purpose in favour of promoting Pimblett. They'll probably do the same to oban
So happy for Oban, all the hard working is paying off.
So happy for Oban. Most deserving guy!
Kind of has that same loveable energy arnold allen has! Top class down to earth guy
stories like this is why I love this sport
Love OBAN! Let's go Wales ❤❤❤ so proud of our boy
As an English guy That opening beer with his teeth made me laugh proper brirish thing to do 😂
Aerial on the 🍺 next will be 👃 🍺 with Craig!!

Guy can fight his ass off definitely a future champion I believe

Let's go!! finally likable up and comer . no fakery! +1 fan
Surely Ariel is honorary Welsh by now! ❤
Cool to see Ariel drinking on the show 😂
Uppa Merthyr Tydfil 🏴
Hey Ariel Can you just put timestamps... Because many people want to hear some statements from fighter as soon as podcast begins so for them timestamps can help at lot.
45:11 couldnt relate more.
great lad
Does Ariel know that Bisping is the man. Callin bisping a bootlicker is the view we have of Ariel. Constantly hating on Dana, ufc. Bias towards Jake Paul, PFL. He is more of a shill than bisping cuz atleast bisping gets paid and has respect of his peers. Nobody would watch this if the fighters quit coming.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🏴🏴🏴🏴
Its the butterfly effect. If things happened any differently he wouldn't be where he is now. Including the death of his father had an effect on him and his life moving forward.
Imagine the celebration if he won the belt 😂
Great job
If his ground game is as good as his stand up he beats bellal
If Oban shaved his head he would look almost exactly like a bigger Volkanovski.
What a likeable down to earth guy Oban is 👏🏻
👍👍

How did this only have 360 views in an hour?
⛏️ mining success Welsh is best he is the gangster
Lots of beers being promoted these days.. youth be careful.
Youth are drinking less beer... They are being careful
He did brother hafez bad. Not cool
Hope someone tells Oban not to overthink before speaking. Because he is stuttering way too much. You can see he is over thinking while speaking causing him these breaks. Guy's got charisma, so he just needs to speak from the heart. Was pretty irritating to listen to the entire thing
Thanks for the comment fella, this gave me a good laugh
