Media Ariel Helwani says there’s “great positivity and optimism” the McGregor vs Chandler fight goes ahead as planned

[BoxerMaurits]

I’m not exactly sure what that means, but hopefully this whole situation isn’t as bad as most people think, lol.

Please Dana, get my boy Iron Michael Chandler his deserved red panty night

Not a single person will apologize for all the shit they've been posting for the last 3 days

Neither will you.

 

[markg171]

Neither will you.

Case in point.

Why would I apologize for not writing 1000 posts salivating that the fight was off when that was never even reported?

 

[flowoftruth]

Hello Ariel doesn't know anything since UFC boycotted him. What's the last story he broke ? . He's saying every possibility so he can claim he's right regardless of what happens

 

[Pliny Pete]

Translation : ESPN called Dana and told him to pay Conor whatever he wants and make sure to get the dang fight into the cage so ESPN can see the large PPV buy number that they were anticipating

We would like to apologize…to absolutely no one!

More vague BS from WeaselRat

 

[Friendly Farmer]

Keeping my fingers crossed. This would be the first time for my son to witness the McGregor fight, and like him or not, there's nothing quite like it in MMA. But Ariel is a known liar so he's probably talking shit just to get some more attention.

It sounds like Helwani clickbait to me. Optimism by whom? Helwani? Dana? Conor? Chandler?

What an asshole.

This is how you get clicks. Make it sound like you have insider info. Yet, you really don’t. He’s just making guesses. Educated, or otherwise. If you throw enough shit at the wall some of it sticks.

The UFC removed all Conor related free content from Youtube a couple days ago. Cancelled the presser in Dublin. Chandler has left fight camp in FL. And has returned home to Nashville. The UFC are reaching out trying to salvage this card, now.

There is literally ZERO about that, that should make anybody believe this fight goes ahead as scheduled.

This should've been obvious to anybody when Ariel said they were looking into a replacement opponent but then never said who even needs replacing, let alone Conor. If there's a replacement fighter being looked into then you by default know who's out and who's still in. Ariel somehow wasn't reporting that though.

It's always been obvious that Ariel was either:

- bullshitting about having a source saying anything
- dragging things out till he could go on the MMA Hour and get major clicks there
- creating a non-story like usual by inserting himself into things

No one knows what's happening, but Ariel's never been helping things. Day by day he has a new story. He even said here that today the fight's on but that he doesn't know tomorrow. It's just clock work that tomorrow he's going to throw out another post claiming some shit, then by Friday he'll do it again.

 

[Arcticman]

Ariel might be the biggest ass licker of conor i ever seen.

 

[Shano123]

I'd rather a new main is announced. Fed up of conor stinking up cards, he should have retired ages ago

Ariel is the most reliable source there is. Lol, he literally won't say anything unless it's confirmed my multiple sources, not just one.

Exactly, a lot of stuff doesn't add up if the fight is still on. The biggest one being Chandler breaking camp. If he were still fighting on 6/29 there's no way he does the. The drama continues...

Great positivity

Lol say you go in for a doctor checkup. He comes back and doesn't say "looks good," or "everything's great." He says "I have great positivity and optimism".
