Ariel next time plz ask the female translator to translate for Sexyama translator
What you going to do when you know who? How you going to deal with the man of steel? And how will you react to Sonnen's attack?

He said sagoui or however you spell it
he didn’t say anything about it being an “honor to be interviewed”
all he said was basically that’s great, laughing at the joke…. WTF
Kazushi Sakuraba would submit GSP in his prime.

He said “sugoi desu” while barely containing his laughter. Basically he said “that’s amazing.” While there’s some slight ambiguity there, he didn’t say anything close to “it’s an honor to be interviewed by you.” Seems like that was the translator fearing Ariel taking the real translation as sarcasm (which even if it was, I’m sure Ariel wouldn’t mind).

Lmao
I liked your opening line, Ariel. You can’t properly translate the sexiness.
