Ariel Moving to the Action Network

I guess ESPN lowballed Ariel with the new contract, so he cleared off to a YouTube channel or something?
 
They must have threw a substantial lump sum his way. Otherwise, can't see how this makes sense for him.
 
I feel bad for Ariel. No doubt Dana ran him out.

Dana White sucks ass. Ariel also kinda sucks but he’s decent at his job. He sometimes asks hard questions.
 
This is funny to me. Ariel thinks he is bigger than the sport. He took the ESPN job because he thinks he’s the Howard Cossel of MMA.

Then wanted a bigger contract at a time in which ESPN is letting go of people that have worked with them for much longer than Helwani because their obsession with non-sporting related content has less and less people tuning in. And wanted that contract at a time in which he’s so terrified of the rebranded Flu that he would be working from home because he’s too scared to leave his house.

Helwani would’ve thought his ethnicity and his woke-ness would’ve protected him. But not even he checks enough diversity boxes for ESPN.

That ought to teach him for jumping on Gina Carano’s back.

Never heard of it. Guessing they backed up the Brinks truck of investor dough to get him.
 
Nice to know he is now a "Man of Action"...
