Hey everyone, it's Arya Hawani and I wanted to let you know that each and every week

I'm part of a great program called the Ringer MMA Show. I hosted alongside two absolutely brilliant

minds, their names, Chuck Mendenhall and Pete C. Carroll and every Thursday a new episode drops

where we preview the weekend in mixed martial arts and react to all the biggest news.

Plus, after every UFC pay-per-view, we give you a post-fight show. So this is what you have to do.

Just follow the Ringer MMA Show on your Spotify app so you don't miss an episode. We'll talk to you then.

Stay in the age and enjoy yourself.

Ladies and gentlemen, it's going down. There's something going on Friday as promised,

as Shiji, as I said, we're only going to talk to the biggest and best in the business.

You know what I mean? And today we're joined by a man who has a very, very full plate this weekend

defending his NXT World Championship, Carmelo Hayes, is on the floor.

I'm in here with some guys. How are you think to have me on?

I'm really good. First of all, first and foremost, I have to ask you, I'm following your footsteps

and making the pilgrimage to Boston tomorrow for the Celtics Heat Game.

Here you go. I'm a Celtics fan for real. I'm the real deal. People try to make fun of the

the whole Lakers thing that I did last in April. It was like, man, he a Lakers fan, but

now that was a Kobe tribute. That was not a Lakership. That was a beautiful Kobe tribute, by the way.

I appreciate it then. Thank you. Yeah, but I'm a Celtics fan, Boston teams fan, yeah, for sure.

Do you have something in the top for this coming Sunday? Does there a Boston themed

entrance that we could expect? I mean, I don't want to say yes or no.

I mean, just watch, but I'm definitely, you know, we go into Mellow Chooses, so we don't

put it like that. It's Mellow Chooses. Mellow Chooses.
