Media Ariel claims that UFC threatened cancellation of bouts

The UFC used to threaten fighters and managers.
Ariel claims that the UFC used to threaten cancellation of bouts that Ariel was going to report. <45><45>Not going into the specifics of contracts and liability here but holy shit.
Had been dealing with this for a while but only recently found the willingness to talk about it.
Ariel is willing to put up his reputation, his track record and his 13 journalist of the year trophies.

Thoughts? Guy really seems desperate to get the last word. UFC clearly doesn't give a fuck about the guy or this would be grounds for a defamation lawsuit.

I don't see why this is an issue. If the UFC makes a fight they want to break the news about the fight. If fights who sign knowing this literally breach the embargo leaking you are literally hurting the person you signed the contract with. The UFC likely made this threat because they just need to do it once or twice and the leaks will stop.

He is 100% a piece of work, but hey cant take away how hard he works and sells himself. He has to be worth quite and bit of coin and sure he has had some help along the way but he has also worked his ass off to get to where he is, so good for him.

So he had no problem shilling for the evil company, despite swearing upon good journalism right after getting fired from FOX.
Right now, he's shilling for the Saudis. Shouldn't a good journalist raise his voice about all the shit that goes on there?

Obviously you missed the point. It's not about gays. It's about that pussy Ariel and the lying he does. I don't care who fucks who. It's cool, bro. I support your gayness.
 
ufc just benched Islam to the summer because Ariel broke the news or atleast thats what Ariel and his minions would have you believe.
 
ariel sucks. took me a long time to realize it. he’s in it for the money, the views, the clicks, the fame. it might not have always been this way but he’s been unbearable for a few years now.

F'U TS

Ariel has been mistreated by the UFC for ages, specifically Dana. This includes being banned.

Still, Ariel refused to roll over and bark on command... he has done his best to maintain his integrity with regards to journalism.

He consistently does his best to give fighters a media platform to express themselves freely, without consequences AKA "getting canceled"

Hats off to Ariel Helwani. If he kissed Dana's ass, he would have a high post with the UFC right now. Life would be much easier. Instead, the man chose integrity. #Respect
