                They're just pissed he scooped the Lesnar announcement. He just got his press pass revoked, he can still write about UFC as he did not actually work for the UFC.

                    UFC spokesperson says reporters should come to the UFC and ASK for permission first. It's considerate.

                    I FORGOT! THAT'S HOW JOURNALISM IS SUPPOSED TO WORK! Deepthroat went to Nixon, and was like,
                    "Bruh, listen, I kind of have this scoop that's gonna fukk your world up. You cool with that?"
                    and Nixon said, "Hell yeah chief. Do you"

                      best MMA journalist out there in my opinion

                      UFC has been dicking him around for years

                      UFC getting lots of bad press and rightfully so

                        sure would have if he used his brain but I'm sure he was excited about this news. Best thing to do now is a little grovelling. People talking about this like it is political news are so off base it is silly. This is entertainment news regarding a privately owned business about a promo they obviously want to keep quiet. Helwani is not anderson cooper lol, he is LUCKY to be where he is. Don't bite the hand that feds you helwani.



                        all he had to do was

                        " just heard >>>HUGE<<< news for UFC 200. Stay under during broadcast, this is going to be epic"


                        or if he wanted to be a little more risky

                        " breaking news: someone from ufc 100 is coming out of retirement to fight Hunt! Stay tuned!"


                        that way it doesn't give it away, could be brock or GSP is what more people would obviously focus on

                                          lol calling him a reporter is funny. He had one foot on each side of the fence and got caught. I bet he won't make that mistake again.

                                                The Ultimate Fighting Championship on Monday lifted its indefinite ban on SB Nation's MMAfighting.com reporter Ariel Helwani, who was escorted out of the Forum on Saturday before the UFC 199 main event for breaking two news stories about the organization.

                                                        He got his job back everything back to normal. LOve that his show was all about him and then he starts sobbing. Im sure he never did anything wrong and everybody else is at fault.

                                                            UFC has been dicking him around for years

                                                            UFC getting lots of bad press and rightfully so

                                                              Dana White wants a preferred reporter he should hire him himself...

                                                                I'd hate being a reporter for MMA, the fighters mess with you constantly... I've seen Ariel get picked on while trying to interview fighters for the 1st time and he just stayed stoic... Never got rattled as they were poking fun at him...

                                                                Tough job as I'd get pissed off and start firing back at the fighters probably
