What would have happened if Ariel Helwani had gone to the "back" by himself?

[McGangsta]

in his monologue he kept mentioning that he was worried about going back there by himself, what do you think would have happened?

this is incredibly telling. Grown man afraid of being with Dana and company by himself

that's some gangland shit right there

 

[Grenz]

Probably has to do with rumor (which he all but confirmed now) that he got ruffed up and choked by UFC security backstage a couple of years. Apparently he was asking Chuck the wrong questions or some trivial nonsense like that. Probably didn't want to walk into something like that again.

 

[Tormund]

Ariel got roughed up and soiled his pants

Would of looked like the scene from goodfellas where they shit can that guy in the pub

 

[McGangsta]

maybe a super upset Brock would been waiting in the back?!

 

[VroomyJeeps]

I think he would have just got yelled at and kicked out. I highly doubt anything else would happen.

But what does some nerd who shoots videos and a female photographer change?

Woah any more info on this? I never heard about this happening.

Ariel never knew when to STFU. Hes been called out for years for being an instigator. There was always something with his reporting. He didnt just report. He wanted to ask the questions ppl didnt want to address publicly. Do that and you may get bitch slapped eventually.

 

[killerkalibur]

Same thing that happened. As much as we like to associate Dana with being a Mafia like being, this is the real world. The UFC would not risk being sued. Man people live in some kind of twisted fantasy revolving around their favorite movie or tv show.

 

[rockylion]

I laughed way too much at this

Witnesses.

 

[MyJoinDateGlitched]

it would have involved a coat hanger and a blow torch

He would've gotten a wet willy and nuggies from Dana then Lorenzo would grab him and make him punch himself and ask him why he's hitting himself. Then finally they would atomic wedgie that dork Just Bleed style.

Ariel confessed on the show earlier that he got into altercations with Zuffa backstage and it got "physical."
The another reporter tweeted that it was because Helwani got roughted by by Dana's goons and slammed into a wall and choked.

I can't find the tweets right now and I forgot his name.

thnx, I just saw the frontrowbrian thread mentioning it.

People can hate on Ariel for whatever reason, but roughing up a journalist is straight coercion/mafia tactics, which is of no surprise with Zuffa & the Fertitta's family history. Scum.
