Media Ariel claims that UFC threatened cancellation of bouts

[Skarsgard]

Kind of outdated now. His last three fights were all against top 5 ranked Bellator fighters.

Sure. One was the shell of Lima in a fight he sbould have lost. Don't remember the Storley fight that well, just remember people throwing a fit. Then the injury win over Goiti Yamauchi.

I'm glad he's finally fighting some better competition, but he's definitely not performing as advertised.

 

[Prince Nephilim]

yeah but he's a joke to anyone who pays attention. even the casuals think UFC fighters are underpaid and that it's Dana's fault.

Well it just comes to show that nobody’s perfect in the hurt business. They both share their faults in unison. Dana is Batman and Ariel is the Joker, they can’t exist without each other.

 

[Marko Polo]

i'm not personally siding with anyone. i think they're both scumbags who always have their ulterior motives when they allow news to get out.

Okay what’s Ariel’s ulterior motive? For his stories to gain traction so he can generate a profit??

 

[Pancake Sprawl]

That's got to be a work. There is no real world where Ariel would be shouting "don't be a bitch, say it to my face" to a professional fighter.

That's just not a world. I know he doesn't get social dynamics but he's not THAT out the loop. It's got to be a work. It can't be real.

Matter of fact, the only person shouting that at a pro fighter (if they know he is or was a pro) is another fighter.

a guy who doesn't know how socializing works but has a job where he's constantly socializing with other human beings. what a world we live in.

it's not about making a profit, it's about playing the victim. it's like what other posters have pointed out, he got bad info but doesn't want to admit it so he's blaming the UFC that they cancel shows JUST to spite Ariel....

Storley fight was close and Storley is very good. I think some people will be surprised by how well he does if he does sign for the UFC.

There’s a reason Helwani has 13 trophies, I know he never shuts up about them, but he is a legit journalist.

or is it because everyone else is a shill? being the best MMA journalist is not saying much since the journalism in MMA is pure garbage most of the time.

Based on what. There’s no proof. In the light of zero evidence you guys side with the big corporation because it’s easier. Little do you know it just makes you look spineless.

 

[VinceArch]

Ariel may be this or that but the UFC and Dana White are still absolute slimeballs that do slimeball shit all the times to fighters. Dana is godlike but he’s petty and been throwing bitch tantrums his entire UFC tenure.

Someone who is "godlike" as you put it, wouldn't be petty and throwing bitch fits whenever things don't go his way. Just saying.

Big corporation evil and yet you still consume. <45><45>

 

[NoBiasJustMMA]

if only her voice wasn't so godt damn annoying. Nice tits though

Nina is a hottie too

Nina is much hotter, she doesn't have the bolt on looking boob job and she's got much better looking legs and hips.

Bazinga!

36, I still think he'll do well though.

zero evidence? he literally says it himself. only when he was "comfortable" did he let this out. what does that say? that something triggered him to say this NOW even though he HIMSELF insinuates he knew about this long before. it's like if people don't draw a picture and spell out their bullshit for you, you won't be able to see it. maybe i'm spineless but at least i'm not dumb and blind.

So because he protected his livelihood and chose to release the news at a time that suited him, that means his words are invalid? You’re throwing all kinds of strawman out bud. Just accept that suck the UFC caulk and we can all move on with our day

 

[Pechan]

for me it's the part where he withheld this information until now for his own convienence. as a reporter, he should've said this as soon as he confirmed this. also the part where he pats himself on the back all the time and tries to play martyr, that's bullshit.

He has said it multiple times since leaving ESPN.

 

[oscerthegrouch]

Dana.. on the phone..... ( yeah call Madison Square Garden The Nose has pissed me off again so yeah were moving the date and will not be able to do show there fk the vendors all that this Nose were talking about get it DONE! <Lmaoo><Lmaoo><Lmaoo>:sniper:

 

[MindGamingMantis]
