For those who are into MMA photography, Esther Lin was kicked out with Helwani.

Won't miss Ariel but Esther was the best.

Lol they removed their two greatest connections to people?

Big surprise.
 
She shouldn't have been snapping those photos.

Fuck this. Fuck removing Ariel. UFC are pussy ass bullies. I've never been more upset by a UFC maneuver than this in god dam 20 years of watching.
 
Esther and Fedor go way back. Dana sending a message to Esther and Ariel and the mma media to stfu about breaking big news before the UFC does.

I think ariel is a great journalist and interviewer. but this is not the first time he bites way more than he can chew and gets the news before the UFC announces it. I'm me so I love helwani and I'm sad he is being hurt by this situation. but if I'm zuffa, I need to crush this little bastard don't I mate. I'm not really siding with the UFC but I think Ariel saw this coming didn't he. dude is a spoiler.

So...doing his job is wrong and he should stop doing his job or he'll lose his job.

Wait...what?

Reebok deal is worse for fighters than a journalist spoiling shit and being punished for it.

Zuffa's attitude is understandable and predictable since the mcgregor vs nate announcement. he is doing his job and that's great. go helwani.
EDIT: also I never said doing his job was wrong. Biting more than he can chew is different than 'wrong'. I'm implying that by doing stuff like this, he would likely worsen his relationship with the UFC. He just lost his FOX job or whatever he had because of the same fucking thing, and I know of this because it was a big deal here.

Although maybe because i wrote 'he had it coming'. i meant to say he saw it coming. changes the meaning a whole lot...

You hang out on the fence briefly, then you side with the "winners." Weak. Your argument is "well, UFC dealt Helwani a blow; he should have known better than to screw with them." You're looking at who "won" to determine who was right. It's pretty common, but it's weak.

ok read my edit please. I'm not drawing any moral conclusions on wrong and right. I wrote 'had it coming', I meant' 'saw it coming'.
 
Is it even LEGAL to remove press credentials from legitimate reporters? Especially when Zuffa has a rep' for doing it out of spite?

To their own events?

Why sure, the UFC is the one that hands the shit out.
