Ariel Helwani/MMA Fighting cliffs?!

[Team Sleep]

I don't have 2 hours to watch his show, nor the time to really sort through multiple threads that are 30 pages long. Can anyone tl;dr this shit for me?

What happened and to whom, that caused what happened and to whom?

What is this talk of bans and and and?

Ariel's a weasel and got punished for being weaselly. Now he is crying about it because that's what people do in today's society.

Ok.

So last Saturday, Ariel tweeted Brock going to fight at UFC 200 before the UFC could announced it.

Dana got mad at him and banned him and anybody from MMAFighting.com from all UFC events, which mean they have to pay to get into the events.

Ariel went on ESPN and on his show, said he did nothing wrong.

And yesterday, the UFC decided lifted the ban.

Hi Dana!

Actually Lorenzo was the one who wanted him banned.

For a moment I thought there was a 2-Hour show about Ariel Hellwani punching and kicking at cliffs.

Then I grew a brain.

Got it. Had started to listen to the show and sounded like Ariel was crying and shit but I had work so... It's hard to find 2 hours lately lol.

And thats the story of balamory

 

[Oy]

If you imagine Don Frye, it was the exact opposite of that.

Hi Dana!

my take copied from another post....

ok i just got around to listening to the MMA hour for this week... and i am shock at the amount of outrage in support of Helwani. The way i see it NEITHER party is wrong. The UFC has a right to be upset with Ariel for breaking that story and Helwani has the right to break that story. That what happens when Helwani has a relationship with the company that he reports on and they pay his bills.

So Helwani starts by giving this tear filled story of missing the main event, and in the next breathe he is boldly stating his role as a martyr (which he of course doesn't want to be thought as). umm ok??? then he stating that he did nothing wrong but was scared to go meet Dana(when asked) in the back alone? The journalist are in works to form a union and perhaps this was the catalyst needed to speed it up. We will see what the pushback from Dana and the UFC will be.


ps.
getting his credential revolted is NOTHING... he just buys a ticket and report from the seats like Sherdog did back in the day. Ariel got his privilege check and he's playing victim. Now his team is a different story, the UFC was totally wrong w/ that.

this shit just comes down to a conflict of interest IMO.

- Ariel does job
- Dana and Lorenzo stomp their feet and cry
- Ariel and his team get kicked out of 199
- Ariel goes on the offensive the day after going on various radio programs and telling his story on his own show
- UFC backs down
- We all win

Most will miss the subtle genius of this post.

Actually it was Ariel crying like a little bitch and his show was one of the cringiest things i've seen in awhile.

 

[Tormund]

This pretty much sums it up.

Good thing you watched it then.

 

[Lifeform]

Ariel is absolutely right to do what he did and report news first however he doesn't understand the game he is in with the UFC and combat sports in general and there are a different set of rules because quite frankly you can get stomped.

This.....

Don't ever befriend Ariel either, he'll slit your throat for a chance to be a big shot. He doesn't give a shit about your career provided it can advance his. If punished, he'll then cry like a women to his beta pal journalists claiming what a grave injustice the UFC did to him and his career.

What about the parts Ariel left out of his bawl baby mantra? Like selling out his buddies for a scoop?
