Helwani gain credibility during prefight presser?

[Deleted member 196663]

The guy who thought it was oh so important he tell us all Brock was fighting at 200 because hes a "journalist"

then spent 30 minutes kissing Mirs ass and referring to his positive test as "your usada problem" and saying how its unfair and he hopes UFC do the decent thing and release him so he can fight elsewhere to raise his kids...

Journalist when it suits him, brown tongued arse kisser when it doesnt

Was the Mir USADA thing unfair?? You can be a journalist and believe something is unfair. Da fuck are you talking about?

 

[Cazador]

So the interviewer loses credibility when the interviewee dodges questions? That's not how it works.

Again, perhaps it was just me, but his reaction was just laugh and ask Cormier (or Dana I'm not sure) what the question was.

He did 150 rounds, I did 3000!

To me, he didn't look a bit uncomfortable by it.

Look at his sig, he's some kind of weirdo USADA groupie.

pathetic attempt dude

It's the truth, pay him some shekels and promise him some tv air time, and he'll say what you want him to say.

Sorry if you can't handle the truth, even though it's fact.

You must be an absolute newb to mma journalism.

I'm sure the rest of the MMA journo's were on the Zuffa payroll. Wait, they're not!

I don't believe Brock doesn't know who Ariel is, but I will agree that I find it hard to believe Brock would care if Ariel spoilt his return...Brock doesn't seem to give a fuck about much.

Brock does not follow MMA. He doesn't have cable & doesn't use social media.
When he was asked about Ariel, he said he had no idea who it was.
When Ariel asked Brock the question, there was no sign of recognition.
Brock does not give a shit about what others do.
Ariel interviewed him once 6 years ago lol

Jesus he bulked a bit too long this winter.

 

[Hardkore]

Except that's exactly the OPPOSITE of what just happened in his career. They paid him, he spoke to fighters about free agency and broke the Conor story regardless. Fox then fired him. The UFC paid him and gave him credentials, he broke the Brock 200 story regardless. They took away his credentials. Only after severe pressure did they give him back his credentials.

Uhh no, he got pissy because they kept playing hacky sack with his tv air time, and kept treating him like a jerk off. He got back at them by starting to mention free agency with Benson then Rory, which was the straw that broke the camels back. He got shit canned from UFC Tonight, that's when he went full rogue.

@Hardkore - I would give you a link to a news site that called Ariel out (to help make your point), but then a mod will just move the thread to wasteland for pointing out that not every news site backed him

 

[MMAth Problem]

Jesus Christ, What the hell happened to Kevin Iole? did this guy eat him?

I thought Lesnar was being rude by not answering Helwani's legit question. But that's on him. It just reminds me what he was like in the octagon after 100. He needs to leave the WWE persona in the WWE.

Meh I don't even care to be honest. I listened to both his pity parties, the one right after he got shit canned then the Crying Game, where he detailed his association and history with Zuffa. It's pretty clear they didn't think much of him or even respected him for that matter, because they kept putting him on the air and taking him off, and not letting him interview fighters after big cards.

I can read between the lines and surmise what went down.

 

[MMAth Problem]

Luke.. Is only slighter better, I find his elitist condescending attitude only slightly more palatable than smug asskissing Ariel.

That's a Philosophy major for you

That is not a WWE persona
After all these years people don't get that Brock is not a peoples person lol

He was a philosophy major?

Didn't the money go from Fox to Zuffa to Helwani?

That's how Brock is, it's no act. He doesn't like people for the most part. Listen to Stone Cold's interview of him, and he says it upfront he doesn't like people or playing the media game.

 

[FrankieNYC]

Fox paid Zuffa for the programming & Zuffa hired the on-air staff
That was for pre & post shows that Zuffa produced
That is the norm

 

[Hardkore]

Wasn't it a UFC produced show? You really think Zuffa is going to let Fox control their content?

You can still act like a professional. Whether you're a people person or not.
