Podcast appearances and mentions of Ari Emanuel

The NBA champion NY Knicks have a choice—follow their Trump-loving billionaire owner to the White House or stay far away and let the world know what they think of Trump. Ben riffs. Sergio predicts they won't go. Then he tells you what you need to know about how Trump uses the UFC and the UFC uses Trump. It's not pretty. Learn about Dana White, Ari Emanuel, Josh Hokit and that end-of-the-empire spectacle Trump threw for himself on the White House lawn. In contrast, there's Mayor Mamdani's speech at the Knick's rally. Sergio hosts the Fights and Culture With Serg podcast. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

UFC Freedom 250 was every bit the spectacle it was made out to be. It had everything from fireworks to Tyson Fury getting his own special walkout. Why, you ask—who knows, but it was a thing that happened. All the brass showed up including Hunter Campbell, Nick Khan and Ari Emanuel. The crowd on the Ellipse was massive, and the crowd sitting cageside consisted of military members and first responders decked out in their uniforms. The orchestra sounded amazing and the music was as all-American as apple pie. Even when this very MAGA outfit played YMCA—one of the most recognizable gay anthems ever. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say they think they've claimed it for themselves.The card opened with Diego Lopes absolutely destroying Steve Garcia. The first round was a bit tentative, but the second was where all the action went down. Lopes would stop Garcia with a barrage of punches that put his lights out. That was followed by Bo Nickal stopping Kyle Daukaus in the first with a nice TKO.Michael Chandler never stood a chance against Maurio Ruffy. Ruffy was patient as Chandler evaded him, taking forever to get close enough to engage, but when it finally happened, Ruffy punished him with spinning head kicks and hammering punches. Finally, mercifully, Mauricio finished him off toward the end of the round via TKO. Michael Chandler is truly washed.Josh Hokit might be a gross character with absolutely no vocal talent, but he had the exact recipe to dispatch Derrick Lewis. He punished Lewis on the feet, who was completely exhausted before the first round was over. Hokit would finish him in the second via TKO, likely increasing his UFC stock in the process.Sean O'Malley was dominant with his striking all the way through his fight with Aiemann Zahabi. Zahabi used a leg kick assault, that wasn't as effective as he'd hoped. Sean found his moment with a big left, followed it up with a giant right then saluted the crowd as Zahabi fell back. The Petr Yan callout happened, as expected, and you have to believe that fight will happen sometime this year.Cyril Gane took some hard low kicks and one or two big punches over the course of the first round against Poatan. The second round, however, was an entirely different story, as he tuned up Alex Pereira, mauling him with big strikes, knocking him down and raining ground and pound like a man possessed. Herb dean would let it go on though, and over the course of the next 45 seconds, Gane beat Alex as if he stole his lunch money on the playground. The end was inevitable and it came via TKO. Poatan is a 205er.Justin Gaethje was a huge underdog going in, so it is a fitting end that he walks away tonight with the undisputed belt. The fight was back and forth, with Topuria almost finishing Justin in the second, and Gaethje wrecking Ilia in the third. Topuria's face was a red mask of destruction. The doctor's came in before the fourth, almost stopping the fight but Marc Goddard had the physicians reassess and they let it move forward. Topuria fought a good fourth round, but his team threw in the towel before the fifth and Justin Gaethje was crowned the new lightweight king.Now that we've reviewed the highlights, let's check out the results and bonuses while we're here.MMA Vivisection & 6th Round is a reader-supported publication.

CounterPunch explores the upcoming UFC White House spectacle and the Hollywood, DC, and Gulf power brokers at the nexus of US politics, sports and entertainment. Host Eric Draitser welcomes veteran combat sports journalist Nate Wilcox, Editor-in-Chief of The MMA Draw, to the show to discuss the White House event, the mythology around Trump's relationship with the UFC and Dana White, the role of Ari Emanuel and TKO Group in monopolizing combat sports and playing all sides of the power structure, the Gulf monarchies and their projection of soft power, the overlap between entertainment, finance, and geopolitics, and so much more.

We also discuss Ariel Helwani's blunt criticism of WWE under TKO, including his comments calling the current product "soulless," his issues with WrestleMania, his disappointment in the John Cena retirement tour, and his belief that WWE may have creatively peaked with Cody Rhodes defeating Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40. From there, we get into the latest legal and business stories surrounding WWE. A settlement agreement in principle has been reached in the WWE shareholder lawsuit, cancelling the Delaware Chancery Court trial that was expected to feature testimony from Vince McMahon, Nick Khan, Paul Levesque, Mark Shapiro, Ari Emanuel, and others. We also cover WWE moving Money in the Bank again, with the show now set for October 10 in New Orleans, while September 6 will instead feature a special Sunday edition of Saturday Night's Main Event in Atlanta. The road to Night of Champions is also heating up as the King and Queen of the Ring tournaments continue. Je'Von Evans, Dominik Mysterio, and Oba Femi have advanced on the men's side, while Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez, and IYO SKY are moving forward in the women's bracket. We also discuss Cody Rhodes and Gunther running it back for the Undisputed WWE Championship on the June 19 episode of SmackDown, with Gunther set to choose the stipulation. On the AEW side, we look at All In 2026 ticket sales lagging behind previous Wembley Stadium events, MJF's hyperextended knee injury and why AEW still expects to use him, and the growing movement around the vacant TBS Championship with Hikaru Shida, Kris Statlander, Mina Shirakawa, Harley Cameron, Zayda Steel, and Queen Aminata all declaring for Survival of the Fittest qualifiers. We also dive into Stardom's major presence in North America. Syuri, Hazuki, Ranna Yagami, and Fuwa-chan will miss the 2026 5 Star Grand Prix due to excursions, while Syuri challenges Athena for the ROH Women's World Championship at Global Wars Cincinnati and Hazuki prepares to face Mercedes Moné in the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament semifinals.

Ultimate Fighters Episode 10 - Ultimate Fighters: Donald Trump, Dana White and UFC's Road to the White HouseToday's episode will cover the History and Background of the UFC, Tito Ortiz, Bill and Hilary Clinton, Ari Emanuel, Donald Trump, Dana White, up to date News, White House, and so much more! Two unbreakable fighters. One unbreakable bond. A road that led straight to the White House.In the shadows of mainstream headlines, a powerful alliance has shaped American culture and politics for decades. Donald Trump—real estate tycoon, reality TV star, twice-elected President—found a kindred spirit in Dana White, the man who rescued the Ultimate Fighting Championship from near-collapse and built it into a global empire. Their friendship began in 2001 when Trump offered his Atlantic City casino as a lifeline for the fledgling UFC, hosting events no one else would touch.What followed was a saga of mutual loyalty and shared triumphs: White's steadfast support through Trump's campaigns and controversies, Trump's ringside presence electrifying crowds at UFC events, and the raw energy of the Octagon fueling a political movement. From early casino nights to White House visits, Republican National Convention endorsements, and landmark moments tying mixed martial arts to American power, this is the untold story.Ultimate Fighters: Donald Trump, Dana White and UFC's Road to the White House - https://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Fighters-Donald-Trump-White-ebook/dp/B0GT9WWYDR/ref=sr_1_1?crid=25O8D85ZAHJIM&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.j_rahjBUgwUaZv0a4ffk-30tGZqsYe8rq2J2NeGY-PkmoUb_vl8UUjAZomrTsPK6D1QV78V-fXYrJ9Y8w0e0zT5SUe5aD4Cmuo1xillF3y8u0f9wjN3iKT5CVkB5GsZqpiMTAvkNkgagtezZ_oPujgHf62gWz5CivDCV8Cs4NmykZWJK5KpwoXl1us19mF2XOFY8TGQB1Gk-3dqaQwouMQpwXR3_CsbrYnUGgAjux0I.-ymjHyKRVnbz0xw6JwyAu1N0SDdw4QYxYw6sQzNypYI&dib_tag=se&keywords=Ultimate+Fighters&qid=1774229356&sprefix=%2Caps%2C1399&sr=8-1

What if the most powerful moves in business happen BEFORE you even walk into the room? Jeremy Zimmer built one of Hollywood's most dominant agencies from a boutique small business to a global empire by understanding one thing: deals are won or lost long before anyone sits down to negotiate. Jeremy Zimmer is the co-founder and former CEO of United Talent Agency (UTA), representing names like Christopher Nolan, M. Night Shyamalan, Charlize Theron, Harrison Ford, and Samuel L. Jackson. He started in the William Morris mailroom after flunking out of college and getting stabbed working a parking lot. He built UTA into a powerhouse through 19 acquisitions in 13 years, stood up to Harvey Weinstein before anyone else would, and spent decades competing ruthlessly with Ari Emanuel while staying profitable. In this conversation, he breaks down how to spot real talent, how to win deals before they start, and why taste will always matter more than execution. You'll learn: Why the best agents can spot creative genius in 10 pages and what separates taste from execution Why getting rid of toxic high performers makes companies stronger even when it feels terrifying How competing with Ari Emanuel for decades taught him to emulate the best and ignore the rest Why talent is becoming landlords and how 50 Cent and Tyler Perry are rewriting the Hollywood playbook The future of Hollywood: consolidation, AI, and why the platforms are the real competition now Start your newsletter today with beehiiv!

Pat McAfee Wants To Save Wrestling? Or is he just saving TKO's bottom line? On Episode 443 of the First Black Champ podcast, we break down McAfee inserting himself into Randy Orton vs Cody Rhodes on the road to WrestleMania and why reports say this was a TKO‑ordered move tied to WWE's ESPN partnership. We also talk about Ari Emanuel trying to turn McAfee into the next Sylvester Stallone, how Hollywood ambitions could reshape his WWE role, and why some in the company think this is the wrong kind of “heat.”Then we jump back to WWF Superstars of Wrestling 1988, recapping the post‑SummerSlam era with Sean Mooney, Akeem, the Blue Blazer, Powers of Pain, Big Boss Man and King Haku debuts, and why 1988 might be the best WWF year before the Attitude Era. We show love to Owen Hart being ahead of his time, clown the Akeem gimmick, debate Dino Bravo's terrible finisher, and explain why managers really ran the WWF.Bang Be Known returns as we talk Trick Williams being accompanied by Lil Yachty, how Bang called a rapper walking Trick to WrestleMania weeks ago, and Yachty firing back at fans on Twitter/X about “deserving” his WWE moment. We also look at the mid‑card “grudge” stories, ask if these WrestleMania matches actually move us, and question WWE's lazy approach to picking contenders for the Intercontinental Championship ladder match.We run through the full rumored WrestleMania card – CM Punk vs Roman Reigns, Stephani Vaquer vs Liv Morgan, Cody Rhodes vs Randy Orton, Jade Cargill vs Rhea Ripley, Sami Zayn vs Trick Williams, the Intercontinental Title ladder match, AJ Lee vs Becky Lynch, Oba Femi vs Brock Lesnar, Jacob Fatu vs Drew McIntyre, Seth Rollins vs Gunther, Finn Balor vs Dominik Mysterio, the Women's Tag Title four‑way, plus a possible Usos & LA Knight vs Logan Paul, Austin Theory & iShowSpeed showdown – and decide what we actually care about and what's just filler. If you love deep‑cut WWF history, modern booking talk, and unfiltered Black wrestling conversation, this is your episode.

This man sent a Myspace message to N-Dubz after seeing them on Channel U. Within a month he was their agent. No business card. No corner office. Just conviction and speed. Billy Wood is one of those names in UK music that if you know, you know. 20 years. Three of the biggest talent agencies in the world — WME, UTA, CAA. Artists like Tinie Tempah, Tinchy Stryder, Wiley, Section Boyz, Run-DMC. Music Week 30 Under 30. Youngest agent in William Morris history at 24.But the story underneath those headlines is messier. More interesting. It's about losing the act that made you. About being a young man at the biggest talent agency in the world making decisions he wasn't always equipped to make. About managing Wiley for two years and what the unmanageable teaches you about people. About walking away from music entirely to go run a non-league football club in Hastings — and somehow that being the thing that brought him back.Now he's back with HAUS23, his own agency, five people deep, signing new acts and established names, and building something on his own terms.We talk about: — Growing up in New Addington and Hastings with no money and no blueprint — Finding N-Dubz on Channel U and signing them from his uni bedroom — Booking 280 shows for N-Dubz and then losing them — and what that did to him — Tinie Tempah, Pass Out, and the fear of losing another act — Getting flown to LA by WME to meet Ari Emanuel, Patrick Whitesell and Cara Lewis — What Wiley taught him about patience, chaos, and genius — The burnout that took him out of music — Running Hastings United FC, breaking attendance records, and losing money doing it — Why he came back with HAUS23 and what he's building nowBilly Wood.

As he considers a 2028 presidential run, Rahm Emanuel joined us in studio for a wide-ranging and candid conversation about power, politics, and the moment the U.S. finds itself in right now. Emanuel has served at the highest levels of government — in Congress, as President Obama's first chief of staff, two terms as mayor of Chicago, and most recently as U.S. ambassador to Japan. We dig into the rapidly shifting global order, including Greenland, U.S. alliances, China, Ukraine, Gaza, Israel Iran, and Venezuela. On President Trump's second term, Emanuel acknowledges that he shares some underlying goals — including the need to confront China, fight for the American worker and reassess broken global institutions — but is sharply critical of Trump's tactics, execution, and what he sees as lasting damage to America's image, alliances, and long-term leverage abroad.Emanuel is blunt in his criticism of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's conduct of the Gaza war, while also defending Israel's right to exist and protect itself. He warns that political realities around Israel have fundamentally changed inside the Democratic Party. We talk about what that mean if he decides to run for the Democratic nomination. The conversation also turns personal: growing up in Chicago, parenting, and life as one of the three Emanuel brothers — alongside Ari Emanuel, the legendary Hollywood agent, and Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, a leading physician. Mosheh Oinounou (⁠⁠@mosheh⁠⁠) is an Emmy and Murrow award-winning journalist. He has 20 years of experience at networks including Fox News, Bloomberg Television and CBS News, where he was the executive producer of the CBS Evening News and launched the network's 24 hour news channel. He founded the @mosheh Instagram news account in 2020 and the Mo News podcast and newsletter in 2022.

Rahm Emanuel returns to ChinaTalk with a characteristically blunt assessment of U.S.-China relations, delivering an unsparing verdict on the first year of Donald Trump's second term. We discuss: The “Fear Factor” in Asia: Why Japan and South Korea are ramping up defense spending not because of Trump's strength, but because his unpredictability and isolationism have forced them to buy “insurance policies” against a U.S. exit, Corruption and “Own Goals”: How “draining the swamp” has turned into institutional degradation — and why the Trump family's entanglement of personal business interests with foreign policy damages U.S. credibility and strategic leverage, Adversary, Not Competitor: Why the U.S. needs to stop viewing China as a strategic competitor and start treating it as a strategic adversary — one whose win-lose economic model is designed to hollow out global industrial bases, Education as National Security: Why tariffs are a distraction and the only real way to beat China is a massive domestic push for workforce training, AI and Inequality: Rahm's evolving thinking on artificial intelligence — why he's still learning and why a technology that boosts productivity but widens inequality is a political and social risk. Plus: prescient observations on Iran, why Ari Emanuel's robot UFC idea might actually be sound policy, Rahm's case that he's now the real free-market capitalist in the room, and rapid-fire takes on J.D. Vance, Marco Rubio, and the 2028 Republican field. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

My guest today is Ari Emanuel. Ari runs one of the most influential portfolios in global sports, entertainment, and media. He oversees TKO, which includes the UFC and WWE, serves as the Executive Chairman of WME Group, and recently founded MARI, a new company focused on global events and live experiences. At the center of this conversation is Ari's anti-AI bet: as AI makes digital content cheaper and everyday work more automated, he believes the value will increasingly concentrate in live and physical experiences. He explains how he's building his portfolio around that belief, what defines a great live experience, and how he thinks about AI's impact on content and IP. Ari is best known as a dealmaker, and he shares the principles behind his success – relentless follow-up, over-communication, velocity, and an obsession with making things happen – and how those things become the operating system he uses today. If you're listening to this, I recommend watching the video of this interview. Ari's energy is constant and visceral, and gives a different dimension to this episode.

Reuben Carranza knows a good brand when he sees it.  Bansk Beauty, where he serves as executive chairman, made headlines in September after acquiring the buzzy, clinical skin-care brand Byoma. It's part of the late-stage private investment firm's growing beauty roster, which includes Amika, Eva NYC and Ethique.  “No. 1, they're on a tear, right? They're growing rapidly. But I think what we loved about them was the story,” he told Glossy on stage at this week's annual Glossy Beauty and Wellness Summit about its Byoma acquisition. “It's the story: they've de-complicated complicated skin-care routines.”  Carranza kicked off the Summit with a special live podcast recording, where he shared insights into the firm's investment philosophy and growth plans for its brands. He also shared career advice from his stacked CV, which includes more than two decades at P&G and leadership roles at R+Co Hair, Kate Somerville skin care, and more.  This special session is ahead, but first, hosts Lexy Lebsack and Emily Jensen share highlights from the Summit and dig into the news of the week.  First up, the hosts break down the latest from Tylenol- and Neutrogena-owner Kenvue. Kimberly-Clark Corp. will acquire Kenvue Inc. in a deal valued at $48.7 billion. Kimberly-Clark's portfolio includes consumer brands like Huggies, Kleenex and Cottonelle. Next up, a look at Skims's buzzy new hire. Diarrha N'Diaye was named evp, beauty and fragrance of Kim Kardashian's upcoming Skims Beauty. N'Diaye has worked in marketing and branding for the likes of Glossier and L'Oréal, and was most recently the founder of Ami Colé, which shuttered in July. She will lead product development, innovation and brand strategy for Skims's upcoming beauty launch.  Finally, an analysis of a hefty investment in Blueprint, the supplement company from American entrepreneur and biohacker Bryan Johnson. The company has taken on $60 million in funding from investors like Kim Kardashian, Ari Emanuel, Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, and many more big names. Johnson is best known for documenting his quest to age in reverse on YouTube and through the Netflix film “Don't Die.” Blueprint currently offers a variety of products DTC, including drink mixes, supplements and skin care.

The episode kicks off with a buzzworthy revelation from The Rock, who appeared on Pat McAfee's show. He shared insights about TKO executive chairman Ari Emanuel's call for ticket sale assistance and teased ideas involving Cody Rhodes and John Cena. The hosts explore The Rock's vision of Cody selling his soul to the “final boss” and Cena's long-awaited heel turn. Cena reportedly loved the creative twist, wanting it to mirror his real-life experiences, but the hosts feel the story's execution fell flat. Shifting gears, the duo criticizes Travis Scott's involvement in the Cena storyline, stating it distracted from the wrestling narrative. They also discuss Paul Heyman's new Dangerous Alliance, featuring names like Seth Rollins and Bron Breakker, and brainstorm potential members, emphasizing the group's need for devious, powerhouse characters. The WrestleMania 41 recap takes center stage, spotlighting the women's triple threat match between Iyo Sky, Bianca Belair, and Rhea Ripley. The hosts laud the match's chemistry and high stakes, with Sky shining as a breakout star. They also praise Bianca Belair for turning a hostile crowd in her favor. While high points like Dominick Mysterio's Intercontinental Championship win earn applause, matches like Drew McIntyre vs. Damian Priest and Logan Paul vs. AJ Styles draw sharp critique. Lastly, the episode teases Rusev and Aleister Black's returns and offers thoughts on WWE's new reality series, “Unreal,” with skepticism about its appeal. #theFBCPod

UFC 312 seemed to signal a community-wide awakening on Sean Strickland. After watching him go out with a whimper against Dricus Du Plessis (again!) it felt like everybody had kind of had enough of his bullshit. Sure, the visionaries on this podcast have been saying for AWHILE that what Strickland advertises prefight (a bloodthirsty maniac!) is quite different than what you actually get inside the cage (a careful point fighter, who came into this bout apparently having made like ZERO adjustments). After this one, however, it felt like fans knew it, other fighters knew it and even his own corner sort of seemed to know it. So, that feels like curtains for ya boi Sean. The irony is, of course, that Strickland actually DOES feel like a psychopathic lunatic in all other aspects of his life. Just ... not when he's fighting. Plus, damn you can't doubt DDP anymore. Except in his next fight against Khamzat Chimaev ... surely he'll lose that one ... right? Also, are Dana White and Ari Emanuel about to try to "fix" boxing by going after the Ali Act? Well, shit, of course they are! Why didn't we see that coming?  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
