Why is Ariel the only mma journalist that is not afraid to get his hands dirty to get the most out of his job?

[filthybliss]

Him and Luke Thomas are the best journalists and analysts that the sport has....Both are painfully smug as shit

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

No but people still believe Dana’s lies which is hilarious.

You have the word of a guy who bends and twists every situation to his own benefit vs. the word of a pathological liar.

Ariel > that slimey bitch Dana White and a bunch of little cucks on Sherdog are upset about it. I wouldn't worry too much what the opinion of immature little brats who post here think

 

[Tweak896]

was he actually to blame for that?

I have no idea, but whatever happened after he was removed from events and lost credentials

 

[Pierced7681]

Because if you press the ufc with hard questions they’ll simply revoke your press credentials and you’ll lose all access to the fighters. Ariel is still able to make a living after being blacklisted by the ufc but that’s cause he was already connected in the mma industry.

 

[CombatCyborg]

What does Ariel contribute in terms of his journalism? Announcing things the UFC is going to announce, before they do? I don't see what's courageous or praiseworthy about that.

 

[Pechan]

Bu bu but OP, he is a man thay crieeeeed!

 

[JustforBROCK]

Because he's been in the game for a very very long time and established himself without the UFC..... Pretty much every other guy in the MMA space has their job because of the UFC or their job is heavily influenced by the UFC. There were a couple of other ones but Ariel really was the original MMA News guy

was he actually to blame for that?

He leaked it. It’s just like in wrestling a big no-no

 

[scoobster]

was he actually to blame for that?

yip, he name dropped lol

 

[Robbocop]

UFC hoovers up the so-called MMA journalists to come and work for them, and if you are not working for them, they control access to fighters at UFC events/press conferences. So there is a high financial incentive to not rocking the boat for the UFC/shilling for the UFC.

 

[Dorkman]

He's already on the dana shit list, so whats adding more wood to the fire really going to do to him?

 

[CieloLuce]

Their greatest joy is to sniff Dana's balls. Their other joy is raising their hands until Dana picks them so they can ask whatever UFC tells them to ask.

cant i dislike them both?

 

[Bigmoney4166]

Dude is not just an amazing journalist, but the only journalist that actually doesn't mind getting his hands dirty. We need people like him with no morals , just balls, desire and drive to give us what we want. Why aren't more mma journalists like him?

What in the actual fuck are you talking about?

 

[baba2008]

He leaked it. It’s just like in wrestling a big no-no

In any other news business that wouldn’t be considered a leak - that was breaking the story. It’s just Dana wasn’t happy about it.

 

[santiago]

Cause if you don't hug DW's cojones you get banned...most likely.

Sounds like what's going on in the Di$trict of Clowns at WH pressers.

I like Ariel, but he:

a) Takes the "reporting" gig way too seriously. This is MMA, not Geo-politics - he has all the characteristics of an excellent reporter.... in a sport that is largely inconsequential. The biggest "breaking news" moment is revealing that Brock is fighting at UFC 200? Stop the presses

b) Talks way too reckless about fighters - he makes threats like "say it to my face" and "Your not man enough"..... does he forget that he isn't a trained fighter?

Ariel was best when he didn't think he was bigger or more important than the fighters.

And he ruined the plans they had for it that night
