Ariel Helwani Just Dropped a HUGE Bombshell: ZUFFA Pays the Fox Media

[AronaBeatsJones]

Just said it on the MMA Hour.

Fox paid Zuffa for the pre/post-fight shows, and Zuffa paid MMA journalists directly. Says he has e-mails to back it up.

UPDATE: Helwani just vaguely mentioned there was an incident where it "got physical," and nearly broke down. Allegedly Dana White's bodyguard.




UPDATE 2: After Helwani was fired from Fox, Fox thought their own employees were leaking news to Helwani, and interrogated/set up spies in their own offices to find the "mole."

UFC's dirty little secret

[HereticBD]

Hope he can prove it, or he might be in for a lawsuit.

God Dayum

 

[Dirge]

Interesting... and he really really doesn't want his UFC credentials back.

Also how does it get proved? The existing credentialed guys won't say anything about this and Helwani is essentially saying that he too was a paid UFC shill? Basically killed his own credibility.

 

[Le Choad]

Hyperbole much?

Edit: the thread I posted in was way over the top and got merged with this one

 

[mmmjojo]

Of course some are. They pay this creeper in ring girls

 

[Mochan]

Helwani's on the warpath. Hopefully the UFC IP bans him and tells his cable provider not to give him any access to Fox or UFC Fight Pass.

 

[The Invisible]

Ariel "Snowden" Helwani

 

[Corleone187]

so basically scumbags all around

 

[Redhawks100]

Helwani is so salty.

 

[ArtOfDrowning]

Lol he was a shill too...until Dana shoved a boot up his ass.

 

[gimp0]

Damn, so he was getting paid by Zuffa but had a contract with FOX?

 

[in the liver]

i think ariel might be about to hang himself live on mma hour

Of course some are. They pay this creeper in ring girls

Isn't that the guy Chris Weidman legkicked?
