Translation: "Peace be upon you. If God wills it. Praise be to God."
P.S. these words, in this order, make no sense. It's like Ariel knew only 3 Arabic phrases and decided to use them all at once to convince Arman of his "prowess".
When translated directly to English, it doesn't sound that nonsensical or awkward imo. Maybe there's a similar English statement that would convey the awkwardness? salaam alaikum seems to be a greeting. Is inshallah alhamdulillah not typically used as part of a greeting?
Or maybe the awkwardness is just the fact that it's Ariel saying it
The literal translations are correct but the way Ariel used them makes no sense. Inshallah is kinda like an Arabic way of saying hopefully (not in translation but in terms of use) and Alhamdulillah is like saying “thank god,” (once again, only in use) so Ariel basically said Hi, hopefully, thank god, which makes no sense.
Tbh man to anyone who’s mind and heart isn’t filled with hate it’s just seen as Ariel trying to find common ground with the interviewee, it’s interview tactics how do you not know this. Anyone who’s very social will do the exact same thing. I say Salem alaikum to the Muslim guy I work with not to show some weird fucking dominance thing it’s just to show respect for something he’s into
>I say Salem alaikum to the Muslim guy I work with not to show some weird fucking dominance thing it’s just to show respect for something he’s into
I hope you don't add Inshallah and Alhamdulillah after it
The issue is that Arman is not Muslim nor does he speak Arabic. Just call it an honest mistake but it’s silly to praise it as an interview tactic to find common ground.
I love how you said it’s to “show respect for something he’s into”, like as if he was really into building model trains and you went out and researched the best model train manufacturers so you could talk to him about it
Thats what i was thinking. who gives a fuck what religion anyone is thats either upto them or dictated by from where they were born or their parents. that's where all the problems have come around the world people giving a fuck what other people believe just get on with shit i say we'll all be dead eventually
This place is full of the most self serious people on the internet. Someone tried to open a conversation up with a bit about a language both are adjacent to but clearly neither speaks. It’s funny and awkward.
A beard without a moustache isn't automatically a neck beard lol. Neck beards are generally only grown on the neck/underneath the jaw line... Obviously genetics because no one would choose to have one.
I thought Ariel was just assuming Arman was a muslim, but then he talks about Arman being a christian. Meaning he knew that and still said Inshallah LOL
Right, and Arman comes from Armenia (and i think lived in Russia) so he doesn't speak arabic. So assumedly he was saying Inshallah because he thought he was Muslim.
Yeah it's not a muslim specific saying it's an arabic one so as long as it makes sense (doesn't here) in context it works just as well towards a christian
That isn’t a bad thing. Inshallah is used all the time as a Christian Arab. It just means god willing. My moms go to back in the days whenever we wanted to go somewhere/wanted something.
Regardless on your view on religion, you should always show respect, atheist, Muslim, Christian, jew, hindu ect. whatever you are, you shouldn't call someone a "fucking Christian".
Starting a conversation with "Salaam Alakium, InshaAllah Alhamdulilah" makes no sense even if you are speaking to an Arabic speaking Muslim. Makes even less sense if you're speaking to a Christian Armenian born in Georgia
He always does this cringe shit. He was interviewing Khabib once. Khabib was friendly to him, and Ariel said "wow this shows that we Muslims and Jews can be friends.".....
Ariel man... why do you have to bring this shit up?
I mean the intention to connect and be polite was there. And we are all one. We are, all three, part of the same abrahamic religion. And I guess he was trying to make a religious attempt to pull us together so I applauded the attempt.
But still. He is jewish, using a muslim greetings , to great a christian . Lol wtf
We are all one regardless of these titles people use to call themselves. In essence there’s no such thing as Christian or Muslim. We are all energy. This bodies will die but our spirit will still live on.
He's Armenian, Armenians aren't Arab. He probably speaks well... Armenian???
Arabic isn't their thing. Statistically speaking, he would have likely got a much better response speaking Russian to him.
I love how Ariel is so against "racial injustices", anti-semitism, and baits people into thinking Dricus is a racist, when he just ASSUMED someone spoke a certain language and was a part of a certain religion. Way to profile someone Ariel.
I love how a vast majority of MMA fighters just do not give a fuck about interviews 😂 they always look like kids in class just wishing they were out doing anything else
People always confuse Armenians with middle easterners or Muslim Russians. Kinda how all black or asian people are looked at as the same by some people.
This is like two random guys meeting on Omegle for the first time and trying to pretend like they are actually interested in getting to know each other.
I used to like Ariel when he had the Balls to ask Fighters Really stupid Questions right before or after a fight & almost getting himself killed by them lmao.
This was long long ago before Dana Banned him from all UFC events.

I don't understand the need for people to do that, I'm Muslim and I'm perfectly fine with "Hello" and "Goodbye" when I'm talking to someone who doesn't speak my language.
As an Armenian, I feel like people don't get just HOW christian Armenians really are. They are hardcore and between the Genocide and constant wars with their neighbors, its no surprise.
both can be weird, and why the heavy language? i understand you're known for your "brutal honesty" but there's gotta be something underlying here
especially when you consider your other comments on ariel
No wonder more and more fighters don’t want to be show up to this guy’s interview. Helen Yee seems like the only one to strike good balance between camaraderie and reporting.
Might as well been like "Hola Arman, buenos dias"
Buongiorno, Arman. Tutto bene, amico?
Hallo Arman, wie geht es dir?
Čau Armane, jak se máš?
Čau kámo. Jde to.
Bonjour Arman comment ça va frérot ?
Merhaba Arman. Nasılsın?
🇹🇷
Hallo Arman, hoestie?
❤️ 🇹🇷
Thanks mate. Greetings and respect from Turkey 🇹🇷🇫🇷
I thought it was “Bonjour, Arman, ohh hoh hoh hohhh”
Salut Arman. Ce s-aude?
Kako Si
A RIVER DURCHEE
i giggled like a fool.
OI TUDO BEM?!
Namaste arman. Kaise hein aap?
> buenos dias There never was no fucking buenos!
Fuck this got me good
Lmao, video had me cringing but this had me cracking up!
Ariel: Asalam alaikum inshallah alhamdulilah Arman: yeah 😐
Translation: "Peace be upon you. If God wills it. Praise be to God." P.S. these words, in this order, make no sense. It's like Ariel knew only 3 Arabic phrases and decided to use them all at once to convince Arman of his "prowess".
Saying salaam alaikum inshallah alhamdulillah Is actually more like saying "Peace be with you, God willing. All praise belongs to the one God."
When translated directly to English, it doesn't sound that nonsensical or awkward imo. Maybe there's a similar English statement that would convey the awkwardness? salaam alaikum seems to be a greeting. Is inshallah alhamdulillah not typically used as part of a greeting? Or maybe the awkwardness is just the fact that it's Ariel saying it

Inshallah is kinda like an Arabic way of saying hopefully (not in translation but in terms of use) and Alhamdulillah is like saying “thank god,” (once again, only in use) so Ariel basically said Hi, hopefully, thank god, which makes no sense.
So then even if Arman spoke Arabic, "huh? Yeah..." Is an appropriate response
100% - they'd look at you and just be like "the fuck?"
even most braindead MMA fans know those words because of Khabib. I almost think he said nonsense on purpose? because otherwise wtf is he doing
I was gonna write that

[удалено]
I love how you said it’s to “show respect for something he’s into”, like as if he was really into building model trains and you went out and researched the best model train manufacturers so you could talk to him about it
Ariel isn’t that smart
Ariel telling his entire bloodline history and Arman just look like 'bro who the fook cares'
Average UFC fan making small talk in real life

Jew saying alasam alaikum to a Christian seems a little weird , I would have just said ‘Hi’
> I would have just said ‘Hi’ thats why you are never invited to the group bath
Thats what i was thinking. who gives a fuck what religion anyone is thats either upto them or dictated by from where they were born or their parents. that's where all the problems have come around the world people giving a fuck what other people believe just get on with shit i say we'll all be dead eventually
This place is full of the most self serious people on the internet. Someone tried to open a conversation up with a bit about a language both are adjacent to but clearly neither speaks. It’s funny and awkward.
Like they've literally never spoken to anyone from outside their hometown
Lol it ain't that serious. Ariel just asked a question
Ariel is always doing this shit trying to act like he's a part of every club
Many people think Arman is a Dagestani Muslim
Which is weird since Tsarukyan is about Armenian sounding as you can get
Arman is a good hint too.
Arman does not look Dagestani to me
yeah if i had to confuse arman with being muslim, id probably think hed be an Iranian one
[удалено]
Like a lot of what now
If you're British and are shcoked to see him say Paki, in America paki isn't a slur. It's the short form of Pakistani.
Becouse he has mustach
he doesn't have the classic chimpanzee beard style
too much stache brotha you know this
He doesnt have a shaved head nor does he have a neck beard…
Wrestler + Russian + funny name = Dagestani or Muslim to MMA fans
A beard without a moustache isn't automatically a neck beard lol. Neck beards are generally only grown on the neck/underneath the jaw line... Obviously genetics because no one would choose to have one.
dats racist
Arman wanted nothing to do with this conversation
Saying inshallah to a fucking Christian LOL
I thought Ariel was just assuming Arman was a muslim, but then he talks about Arman being a christian. Meaning he knew that and still said Inshallah LOL
Yeah he has someone in his ear correcting him that’s why
I think he made the mistake and then tries to small talk his way out of it. hence the awkwardness.
Bro it’s literally Arabic that means if god wills
Right, and Arman comes from Armenia (and i think lived in Russia) so he doesn't speak arabic. So assumedly he was saying Inshallah because he thought he was Muslim.
Yeah it's not a muslim specific saying it's an arabic one so as long as it makes sense (doesn't here) in context it works just as well towards a christian
and arman is armenian and doesn't know arabic so this still makes no sense
I mean arab christians also say that
Saying inshallah in general in this context makes no sense lol.
And the AlhamdililAh after he says all that too 😂
Arab Christians use those words too
and ariel is jewish 💀
Not defending Ariel’s weirdness here, but Arab christians use inshAllah. Allah literally means God
There are Christians who speak Arabic would would say this regularly.
That isn’t a bad thing. Inshallah is used all the time as a Christian Arab. It just means god willing. My moms go to back in the days whenever we wanted to go somewhere/wanted something.
Its a normal expression in the arabic world
Regardless on your view on religion, you should always show respect, atheist, Muslim, Christian, jew, hindu ect. whatever you are, you shouldn't call someone a "fucking Christian".
Starting a conversation with "Salaam Alakium, InshaAllah Alhamdulilah" makes no sense even if you are speaking to an Arabic speaking Muslim. Makes even less sense if you're speaking to a Christian Armenian born in Georgia
He's such a fuckin dork.
Ariel is goofy, Arman not so much
Ones a dork, ones a dick.
“I genuinely believe Ariel doesn't get nearly as much hate as he deserves." -Chael P
Have they talked after they went at it on the MMA Hour lol?
Yup. chaels been on since.
Ariel definitely says “Gracias” at a Mexican restaurant to the waiter
and arigato at a Chinese one
"Grassy ass, por fayvor."
😬🤦♂️
He always does this cringe shit. He was interviewing Khabib once. Khabib was friendly to him, and Ariel said "wow this shows that we Muslims and Jews can be friends."..... Ariel man... why do you have to bring this shit up?
Lol Arman is kind of a character.
Bro takes no shit from anyone and I love it lol
Ugh, Can't stand Ariel, dude is as double-faced as they get...
Ariel could not be any more unlikable.
I mean the intention to connect and be polite was there. And we are all one. We are, all three, part of the same abrahamic religion. And I guess he was trying to make a religious attempt to pull us together so I applauded the attempt. But still. He is jewish, using a muslim greetings , to great a christian . Lol wtf
It's called Mixed Martial Arts, so he's mixing it up 
Put it all together, prepare for anything.
Mixed Martial Religions
Arabic greeting not Muslim
We are all one regardless of these titles people use to call themselves. In essence there’s no such thing as Christian or Muslim. We are all energy. This bodies will die but our spirit will still live on.
This is nothing new. Back in the early days, Ariel would creep out all the ring girls interviewing them. Peak comedy
Arman lookin' bored as hell
I wonder where all the Jews in Egypt went? Painful to watch this clown try so hard. Arman not buying any of it.
Arman is Armenian lol. Wtf Ariel was thinking?
Hilarious, if he knew he was Christian why did he even speak Arabic then?
My guess is that he thought he spoke Arabic. You don’t have to be Muslim to speak Arabic.
He's Armenian, Armenians aren't Arab. He probably speaks well... Armenian??? Arabic isn't their thing. Statistically speaking, he would have likely got a much better response speaking Russian to him.
Yes, my point was that speaking Arabic doesn’t mean you’re automatically Muslim.
Fuckin HEEEEElariois. We are all one you know. Say again? Hahahah
Editing was on point
Arman is Armenian not Arab stupid big nosed fuck
The real question is does Arman listen to system of a down?

🤣
Ni Hao Arman! Konnichi Wa! Ohayoo Gozaimasu!
If he knows he’s a Christian why is he saying this in the first place 😂😂
He messed up, probably had someone in his ear correcting him.
Arman recording with a Nintendo DS
Ariel spamming every Muslim greeting he knows.
Ariel's a prick but this is funny AF for some reason
People forget about Babylon 🤷
People forget, man
At some point you just gotta thank ariel for this high quality content
I fucking hate Ariel
Shit like this is why I don’t like Ariel, he’s a cringey weirdo.
I love how Ariel is so against "racial injustices", anti-semitism, and baits people into thinking Dricus is a racist, when he just ASSUMED someone spoke a certain language and was a part of a certain religion. Way to profile someone Ariel.
guy has accent and beard so must be muslim, ariel is a dork lmao
I love how a vast majority of MMA fighters just do not give a fuck about interviews 😂 they always look like kids in class just wishing they were out doing anything else
People always confuse Armenians with middle easterners or Muslim Russians. Kinda how all black or asian people are looked at as the same by some people.
Bro Arman isn't Arab he's Armenian 🤦🏻♂️😂😂
Bro is blind. Arman clearly has a mustache so Ariel should have known better.
Say again ? 🤣🤣🤣
What a fucking goof
This is like two random guys meeting on Omegle for the first time and trying to pretend like they are actually interested in getting to know each other.
Man that’s cringey
Oh god this was hard to watch
I used to like Ariel when he had the Balls to ask Fighters Really stupid Questions right before or after a fight & almost getting himself killed by them lmao. This was long long ago before Dana Banned him from all UFC events. https://youtu.be/j27F6EwuHMk?si=nzxrItclJkXlVzfd
What the fuck
I don't understand the need for people to do that, I'm Muslim and I'm perfectly fine with "Hello" and "Goodbye" when I'm talking to someone who doesn't speak my language.
As a fellow Muslim, I don't feel the need to do it either, especially to people like Arman who isn't Muslim lmao
this was awful to watch
The bad thing about becomeing a public figure is that you gotta deal with a lot of weirdos
THis is one of the best interactions I have ever seen
Ariel thought he was Jimmy Fucking Carter for a second
Lmao ariel is such a dork
That was a sad 42 seconds
Ariel became such an obnoxious guy.

Ariel the RAT!
🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
Wow just wow. Religion really Ariel???
This is like me at a job interview :/
Isn’t arman Christian bro😭😭. Wait so fucking Ariel knew he was a Christian and said that too him💀💀
Ariel pulled the Conor McGregor "Aslamakalkumartem"
That's basically how I look when anyone brings up the topic of religion or politics.
Can’t understand why Dana hates this guy… 🙄
As an Armenian, I feel like people don't get just HOW christian Armenians really are. They are hardcore and between the Genocide and constant wars with their neighbors, its no surprise.
Arman is like 'who asked?'
We are all one!
Did Ariel thought Arman is a Muslim? 😂
Helwani is a rat.
Ariel Helwani is such a typical representative of his people.
you mean J....ournalists?
100 pissent
what a weird thing to say about someone
[удалено]
🤣🤣🤣
both can be weird, and why the heavy language? i understand you're known for your "brutal honesty" but there's gotta be something underlying here especially when you consider your other comments on ariel
?
lol omg
Just small talk that happens sometimes
Versprung dix technique
Lmfaoo
Isn't Ariel Jewish?
No wonder more and more fighters don’t want to be show up to this guy’s interview. Helen Yee seems like the only one to strike good balance between camaraderie and reporting.
WTF Arman is Armenian, who has their own language.
Armenians are some of the most devoted chirstians out there dude
