UFC+ESPN+Ariel= How Long Before Dana Flips Out at Helwani?

[Hardkore]

Ok we all know about the UFC and ESPN deal, and that Helwani is getting his own show. And Dana has maybe 2-3 years left on his deal, but how long do you guys think it will be before Uncle Dana gets pissed at Ariel?

 

[Meathead Jock]

Lol, shouldn't be long at all. Unless ESPN forces Ariel to not point out faults and falsehoods which is possible.

 

[TheIrishPsycho]

In about 3:50

 

[KeepItRealist]

I wonder if Brett Okamoto is pissed by all the love ESPN is showing Ariel? He's been their MMA guy for a long time.

@Hardkore
My gut says Ariel plays it fair (like he did with Fox)

But is "fair" good enough for DW? lol

 

[lagofala]

Face it, ppl here love the Dana vs Ariel Feud.

CorpAriel ain't going to tip the boat AGAIN.

 

[TheIrishPsycho]

But is "fair" good enough for DW? lol

Its clearly not,

Like I said in the other thread, I think its fair to question the Reebok deal or ask a fighter whats he going to do when he come close to ending a contract.

That shit will piss the UFC off.

Face it, ppl here love the Dana vs Ariel Feud.

They are saving it for UFC 300

 

[VVarhead]

It's gonna be hilarious if Ariel is allowed by ESPN to ask anything he wants.

 

[Krixes]

I think Dana would rather have him working for ESPN where he can be controlled rather than him out doing his own BS.

 

[FrontNakedChoke]

Lol, shouldn't be long at all. Unless ESPN forces Ariel to not point out faults and falsehoods which is possible.

This is the most likely scenario.

Dana holds grudges, but business is business.

I don't think Dana cares much anymore. One foot in one foot over at Zuffa Boxing

He is an owner. He makes 9% profit as his corporate salary plus he owns 6-7% as owner.
Of course he cares.

Plus Zuffa Boxing = WME

I don't think he'd care but when Ariel's involved, I think he'd make exceptions.

 

[Frank23]

UFC is going to be PC now.

 

[Fstepp]

Would love to see Dana or/and Brett slap Ariel.

 

[SeattleFightFan]

-2+ at least.

Ariel will tow the company line like he did when they used to pay him.

 

[Bubba32]

if he keeps instigating between the UFC and fighters im sure Dana will fire him again and he'll crawl back crying.
