UFC President Dana White confirmed that longtime MMA journalist Ariel Helwani has been banned from receiving press credentials after breaking the news on two huge fights without contacting the promotion beforehand. "As long as I'm here," Ariel Helwani's ban will last. Ariel Helwani, one of the most connected MMA insiders, covers the sport for SB Nation's MMAFighting.com. He initially broke Brock Lesnar's return at UFC 200 and Conor McGregor's rematch against Nate Diaz at UFC 202. Angered over the news leaking, UFC officials kicked Helwani and colleagues Esther Lin and E. Casey Leydon out of the arena at Saturday's UFC 199 pay-per-view. #DanaWhite #ArielHelwani - Sport

Probably stop lieing claiming shaving improves hygiene. Men behaving like narcissistic women doesn't improve anything.
Nah I'm good thanks. I'm fine using my beard trimmer (between washes though ofcourse, just saying)
Ariel is an instigator. I love the clip of Nick Diaz telling him that to his face😂
Yeah because Dana and the UFC have never encouraged guys to fight each other. That would be unthinkable in the combat sports world
@@rhysperegrine5100 I remember the old UFC press events from back in the day and Ariel was absolutely a snake at the time.. I think he's matured a bit since then and I enjoy his show now, but back then he was a little weasel
@@ThatNorwegianGuy-the way he tried to frame dricus as a racist? When adesanya is the real racist?
He is worse than ever
@@ThatNorwegianGuy-he still a Weasle
“Instigating fights between the fighters?”
This went from MMA to ball shaving in a blink of an eye lol
Freshening balls won it for me.
😂😂😂
😂
He knows his customer base
It's obvious that Helwani really gets to Dana like nobody else even though Dana is trying to make it look like he doesn't give a damn.
Dana is the most thin skinned person in the MMA world. He just tries to act like a tough guy.
Exactly. That's the playbook of right wing fascist dictators. Put the journalist in jail and then act like they are traders spreading lies.
@@megamanxhunterok
@@megamanxhunter totally.
😂
kinda sad at the end, they really had genuine friendship
"Ariel Helwani was never my friend"
@@deansuttle8438 Dana says a lot of dumb shit
Never heard anyone say that lol they never got along did they?
I never saw that even in the best of times....they seem like work acquaintances at best...
lol...I love how you know this.
I actually believed Ariel was right about many of the things that he did. But him announcing Brock Lesnar coming back and Diaz vs McGregor was a douchebag move on his part. And I don't blame the UFC and Dana being pissed off about that.
Pissed off is one thing, being a bitch is another.. Ariel just doing his job, no huge leak, Dana caught feelings..
Ariel is journalist. Breaking stories like that is what journalists do.
@@LunaticTheCat well he was a journalist but he was part of a contract with UFC when he did it so technically he was in the wrong. Literally can break a contract with an organisation which will cause damage to ppv and money which is needed to pay said fighter.
@@LunaticTheCatthat's what journalists do when they work for the newspapers, reporting on a murder case. His leak costed money to the UFC. It was selfish, just clout chasing
@@undefeatedk1ngscontract? What contract made him only report what the UFC wants?
Ariel would ask the questions everyone was thinking but didn’t have the balls to talk about.
That's not true hes just a Jewish loser eyo never fought
That's a lie he is Jewish
@@josemuller7966 oh yeah, him being Jewish doesn’t allow him to ask questions
@@josemuller7966 woah Jose don’t use all 6 brain cells on that one
So that justifies deceiving and manipulative behavior, on top of sacrificing a relationship w the CEO of the UFC for one solitary early headline?
Dana White personally asked Ariel not to reveal Brock as the headliner main event at UFC 100, yet Ariel chose to release the info before the UFC could reveal it in the planned way they had scheduled w promotion and advertising. He literally cut out the feet from the CEO of the UFC after essentially being begged not to and offered the inside scoop on any other future event or fight/fighter... under the BS guise of "journalistic integrity" STFU, Ariel... you weren't saving lives or helping anyone but yourself by releasing the info early! How incredibly short-sighted and regrettable. Ariel is a snake in the grass, so naturally shallow ppl think he's the savior of MMA media. "Deceiving, self-serving, and cleverly manipulative" where have those traits been recently attributed to in society? Almost like it's not a race or religion, as most who claim it don't practice religion of any kind outside of materialism... its almost like it's just a mentality, attitude, and entitlement that substantiated them as a community. Much like democrats often see similar perspective, as do conservatives... as does this community. They all defend for one another and create narratives sympathetic to their perspectives. They are just more selfish... if your parents are self-absorbed, entitled, and manipulative... what is the likelihood that you inherit many of those traits as well?
One thing is certain. Helwani is right about fighter pay. I've been an enthusiastic casual MMA fan since years now and lately I can't even stomach watching someone getting hit in the head and getting brain damage when they're not even fairly compensated. It's turning me off the sport. These people lay their health on the line for our entertainment. They deserve financial security if Dana is making billions.
No one is forced to put their health on the line, stupid argument and hypocritical. MMA fans and practitioners have for the past 25 years been saying that it is safer than boxing and football and have less injuries than most pro sports in North America. So what you can argue is that the fighters aren’t offered adequate insurance but that has nothing to do with your paycheck
@@fjalkinge that's a long way of saying yes. Pfff
@@pocarisweet8336While your comment offers 0 challenge to it. 😂
Great point -- well said! Thank you.
OH shut up you still watch the fights 10 months later lolol, goofy lame
He cries out in pain as he strikes dana.
The end of this video man. How quick human beings can turn on each other.
I’m more inclined to take Ariel’s side. Dana doesn’t like bad press and he wants to control MMA journalists. Just look at how far he’s gone with Ariel, for what? Breaking the lesnar story? Dana is a tyrant and Ariel lives all up in his head. I like Dana a lot too, but Ariel makes him look very human
Of course nerds side with Ariel
@@jamesgentry13a bunch of weirdos who are sticking up for a parasite
@@jamesgentry13 nerds and jews 😂
Don't watch the UFC then
Dana’s an egomaniac, a liar and he’s dishonest. MMA on Point actually did a whole video proving that.
So yeah, choosing sides in this case is fairly easy
How is Ariel the baby when Dana has been trying to ruin his career over some 5 year old petty squabble.
Bc Ariel always cries like a baby duh🤦♂️
Not gonna lie Ariel can be so fucking annoying just from watching him so I can't imagine what it's like working with him and also dana don't let shit go which is why they probably don't like each other
@@CowneloAlvaroid so basically you're going to test that the person for having an emotion but you won't chastise Dana White for being a bully, for exploiting for using corruption to compromise the media because he can't handle accountability
@@rolandobaluja7504 stay on topic
@@CowneloAlvaroid I am merely stating that it's okay to have human emotions but what Dana White does as far as temper tantrums and exploitation is worse than being a crybaby. It's the equivalent of being psychotic bully
tbf Dana gave Ariel opportunities, loads of 1-2-1 interviews with him early on before he had a name and I get why Dana would be annoyed with Ariel breaking the Lesnar news but I think we all agree he’s gone too far with it at this point
He asks the tough questions that Dana doesn't want asked .
He doesn't toe the line. Dana doesn't like tough questions.
potentially correct.
Ariel hoewhiny is a nerdy skinny instigator
No he’s a clown that’s always talking out of both sides of his mouth. He’s a snake, that’s why Dana doesn’t like him.
Yep. Ariel is awesome.
They end of the video was lowkey sad. They had solid chemistry
I met him in person while covering a UFC event and Ariel was a pretty humble guy.
I met a snake once. It was pretty friendly.
Ofcourse you did
Lol
Racist guy
Ariel is the real king of cringe 😂
When it first happened I remember that the UFC told Ariel about Lesnar coming back and specifically told him to wait until after the current event to post anything, then he intentionally did it right before the UFC was going to announce it.
You remember being told that after the fact. Helwani denies that he was told not to release it, even though it'd be pretty obvious that the UFC wouldn't like him doing so.
@@leemc6229 I mean, everything is after the fact, so... And I'd deny it to of I was him.
I think after Dana let him get fired from FOX without cause, Ariel didn't care for their surprise and was not gonna sit on the news. But yeh it's wild
This is complete nonsense. What you're remembering is a lie told by Joe Rogan and Brendan Schaub. Weird that your vague claim is "the UFC told him", "the UFC" isn't a person, and if it was a UFC staff member who told him under that condition you should know his name. UFC spokesperson Dave Sholler specifically told the AP "that the promotion believes journalists should seek comment from the UFC before reporting a story" about the issue with Ariel. That's a hell of a lot different than "we told him in our official capacity under the condition that he couldn't report it until the fights were announced".
Dana like some of these UFC fighters don’t like Arie because he’s not intimidated by them, even though he’s physically weaker. They’re stuck in the high school mindset of being big men on campus and treating others as inferior based on physical stature.
Some things:
"...Without first notifying the UFC."
He does not have to notify the UFC, this is irrelevant. A journalist gets information, confirms it and releases it. He doesn't have to "check" with the promoter first to make sure it's "ok". He doesn't work for them.
His ESPN contract did expire, but you present it without context. ESPN wanted him to come back and sign a new employment contract. He declined and went independent with MMAFighting, BT Sports, Ringer, HBO Real sports/etc...
He does have press credentials. He was just at a UFC event in June (Hall of Fame ceremony).
To play devils advocate, from Dana’s point of view, something that big like conor fighting and brock coming back is the UFC’s news to share and they wanted to do so in a special way by announcing it after ufc 199 I believe. Ariel sharing it is like being the guy at a surprise party that accidentally tells the person and ruins it while the UFC and dana are in charge of planning and organizing the whole surprise just for it to get ruined.
@@lookatdischeese4386 I get why the UFC would be upset but that's still not Ariel's fault.
They should figure out internally why that "leaked" instead of getting upset at the reporter simply doing their job.
We use to Love Dana. He built an industry and sport. Now, he drunk with power and none of his groupie media boys, dare tell him, the King has no cloths. .... because none of them have the balls of Ariel Helwani.
I agree 200%
He is a reporter. He reported news. That is his job. Dana calling him a baby and then firing him for stealing his thunder is a bit hypocritical. Dana can hold the shit out of a grudge.
❤
An investigator breaks out news, a journalist doesn’t. Imagine you’ve been working on something for a while and somebody else breaks it out, how would you feel?
@@vikhyatverma3942 Ariel got a scoop and reported on the information which was true and accurate. He confirmed it with multiple sources. MMA is no different than any other sport. If someone gets a scoop on a story, they report it. Sometimes its correct sometimes its incorrect. Ariel is a good reporter and he felt strong enough that it was a true story and reported it. Dana is a hothead and got his feelings hurt and overreacted. It is kind of his thing.
@@mikeross4937 bro, just imagine you are private company that has the right to withold relevant information. You spend so much money on actually promoting an event, making trailers around it and what not. And someone leaks the info before you do so.
Private companies have the right to sue people who get their hands on and leak any kind of information that harms the company’s interest.
I like Ariel and I watch his show to this day, but what he did was wrong.
@@vikhyatverma3942 So if a company spends money on something or it will really hurt the feelings of the President of that company a reporter should not report the news if they know it's true? Everyone has the right to sue anyone for any reason.
If you notice the UFC, nor any fighters, have any problem with any other journalist except him I wonder why that is
Dana hates Ariel because Dana's been around long enough to become the villain. Ariel and others who call him out on his blatant lies and suspicious business practices make Dana uncomfortable.
Dana wanted Ariel to pander to him…
To b his mouthpiece for the UFC to the media…
Ariel just wants to report on MMA from a journalist perspective….
Ariel deserves more respect….
Reporting news isn't "leaking." Leaking is if he was UFC staff.
dana: who's tf is ariel.??
then continues to get triggered every time his name is mentioned. 😂 he's living in Dana's head rent free. 😂😂
The press is not supposed to be your PR firm. If you get mad because they report things that's a you problem
Big difference between simply getting mad, and actively going behind your back to get you fired
is it a leak if a journalist reports it after verify sources?
Its may not be considerate. And in business, show business, or just life, tactfulness and inner conscience goes a long way.
"Landscaping"
The thing to do before you get left for a Real Man
I’m so conflicted on this cause they’re both right about each other. Dana is 100% right about Ariel being a bitch and playing victim all the time. But Ariel is so good at his job. I don’t like Ariel as a person (from the outside) but he brings great content
Idk man his interview with Hill was the worst interview I watched.
And being a hyprocrite supporting jon jones who is a known wife abuser while calling out dana just for slapping his wife when she slapped him first
@@nattool3279 yup thats true.
Good stuff brother!!! GREAT editing,& production !
If you think of Dana White as a fascist dictator and Ariel as a journalist, then it makes perfect sense.
Or more like Dana as a emotional thin skinned man who pretends to act tough and values his company and his privacy and Ariel as an instigator and a manipulator. One seems emotional and the other seems narcissistic of one’s intelligence and his journalism.
I’ve never seen those clips of Dana praising Ariel. Wowzerz
Dana saying Ariel’s a victim? Dana is the one who was “hurt” from Ariel reporting news and took his credentials. Ridiculous…
Ur stupid he ruined 2 main events
Lol hurt. Try livid he was messing with his business and the way he wanted things to be done. As he had every right to be. But you take it as he’s hurt and a victim… unreal
kinda hit in the end with the clips of them being friends
Ariel is human, and a pretty decent one. A good reporter who does his job.
Dana on the other hand neglects his own fighters that make him rich, he protects scumbags, and he abuses his own wife.
They aren't near the same level.
A married couple both slapping each other softly across the face in a argument, not to mention dana only retaliated, doesn’t mean abuse, go outside and leave your shell buddy.
@@smoshcom100 🤣 I've been straight up punched by a woman and didn't even have the slightest urge to hit her because I'm not a p***y b***h.
without dana ariel wouldnt hace a job. dana is a sh1tbag but so is ariel.
If Ariel wanted to be petty he really could have sued for wrongful termination
Or make his own youtube channel to slander the ufc.
he wasnt an empoyee
Sued who? He's never worked for Dana or the UFC
@@gavinbrando8255fox sports
Dana prob felt betrayed that Ariel broke the news about Lesnar and they trusted him to keep the confirmation quiet and let the company announce it then when Ariel did it he just hid behind the " its news I'm a journalist " bit so Dana prob saw he wasn't a team player for UFC he was in the end a journalist who do things like that. So he didn't trust him anymore and most likely grew hatred for him... maybe or maybe not who really knows jmo
Maybe he got the news by other people? In that case would it be fair to tell the story?
Typical jew
That’s makes him an even more credible journalist he doesn’t do the behind curtain smoked filled back room kiss my *** I’ll do the same crap
The ufc never gave the story to Ariel. He got it from multiple sources. So he is correct, he's doing his job as a journalist
Dana have a beef with anyone he cannot control, in this kind of age we still have someone liking Dana?
0:17 “It is no secret that there has been a long-standing beef between an MMA journalist and the President of the UFC”
Out of context sounds hilarious right 😂😂😂
Ariel will never think he is wrong.
Because he's not wrong he calls dana out on the bs he does paying his fighters 20 percent of the revenue when boxing nfl and nba all get 45 to 48 percent revenue they are struggling to pay their bills and if your not the top fighter you are broke with no insurance the ufc gets too much money to be underpaying his fighters
Ariel been kicked out of 109 promotions
There was once a time when mma was so small & reporters were so uneducated, Ariel was literally the only reporter putting out legit content of the fighters
Ariel asks the tough questions Dana doesn’t like that
❤
He literally said it perfectly if Dana doesn’t like you but he has no reason so he just calls you a piece of shit loser etc. dana loved the press when ufc wasn’t this big but now he gets mad they do their job 🥴 he honestly was just always one of those rude stupid Boston guys
It is not Ariel's job to make sure fighters get paid as much as possible. This is simply the social justice warrior mentality that he has attributed unto himself to make himself feel good and virtue signal. What the heck does he know about running and sustaining an organization as big as the UFC?
I don't blame Dana at all, Ariel is a very sneaky opportunistic guy
It's great the ariel asks hard questions. That's not an easy thing to do. It's not great that he KEEPS asking the same questions after getting an answer he doesn't like. I find it disrespectful.
It's called following up. One of the first things they teach you in journalism school.
@@stevenspilly Journalism school? What is that? Did you make that up? Journalism is a major or a concentration attached to another writing major. There isn't a specific school you go to like med school.
@Stephen McDaid he has a degree in journalism from Syracuse University. Sorry that Managed to confuse you. University is commonly referred to as school. Or did you think that when adults say they are "going back to school" they are going back in time to go to grade school?? Go buy a time machine or get with the program. Cretin.
@@stevenspilly I wasn't confused. I was pointing out that "following-up is the one of the first things they teach you a Journalism school" is something you literally just made up.
Seeing them at the end I do wish one day they drop the beef
dana doesn't strike me as that kind of guy.
There's no room for two such influential powerhouses. Dana with his dictatorial desire for control and certainty.i can understand his outrage over Ariel bootlegging some of his biggest promos and stealing his thunder ,sparking his fury.However it also shows Ariel's influence in being able to penetrate the UFC inner sanctum at the highest levels to glean such info. Dana takes risks but with institutional power and support whilst Helwani treads a fine line in his ultra risky approach ,asking questions and raising issues no other MMA press figure does. As such Helwani suffers the consequences.
He didn’t penetrate anything, they let him in. Gave him more access than any other reporter. It’s safe to say that he was probably told about what they were planning and told him to hold off on reporting it after the promo. Simply for mutual respect he should have done that. But he didn’t and they were rightfully pissed.
Dana was mad because he couldn’t keep a tight house ??? 🤧
Do you blatantly ignore facts to be a bigot. Ariel leaked info he wasn’t allowed to
@@calebwright9974 he wasnt under NDA since he no longer was with UFC, shoulda kept them under contracts
Helwani thought he was bigger than the sport 😂
Lol. “Sharing info without permission from UFC…”. Dude he’s a reporter, not public relations.
The video starts at 1:37
I feel like I’m in The Twilight Zone, whenever I c a clip of Dana & Ariel being cordial. 🤦🏻♂️😂
Better Days. 🤣👏🏼
Ariel is an instigator, pretty annoying if you ask me. He definitely did that on purpose because he instigates fights
Dana calling him a cry baby victim but Danas the one who threw a fit when Ariel spoiled his little Brock surprise 😂give me a break hahaha.
lol
@DontBanOllie u see my point though.
Bruh really made a sponsorship advert in a 7 minute video. Shameless.
could someone please link the video where ariel talks about releasing the brock Lesnar fight before the ufc? I need it for my media assessment.
The ending there in a sad way shows the former days of their lively friendship really is hard to watch. Also Randy Couture too one of their legendary champions once was Dana's beloved friends. Then in some way or capacity the devil comes to seperate and destroy these friendships.
Unfortunately when it comes to business you're there to make money not friends
@@johnschultz8906 yep, business is business. But I find Dana to be an unforgivable man in general well, maybe all the fighters and promoters fused with social media etc are as bad as eachother anyway
Dana has fallen out with many people. He puts up a tough guy front when deep down he’s just a petty little Bitch
Ariel asks questions that expose Dana and make him uncomfortable.
Ariel plays the victim but was always the agitator. Nick Diaz called him out on it too.
Thats what Im saying but people don’t wanna believe me. Ariel is definitely a narcissist and is secretly a one. The way he pretends to cry to get what he want, manipulates, instigates, etc. Dana white on the other hand is the opposite of him, overly emotional and short tempered. No wonder why they don’t like each other but same time why Dana was intrigued by Ariel in the first place due to his “charm”.
Dana always bullied Ariel in the scrums because he was the only with the guts to ask the questions he didn't want asked.
❤
Helen Yee walked so Nina Drama could run lol
Nothing related to the tonic, but has anyone noted that at 0:36 there is an advertisement, just a frame, for less than one second (like the frames in fight Club you know 😂). Is it random or it has got a purpose?
The irony of Dana shaming Ariel for crying on camera and then Dana gets filmed smacking his wife in a nightclub lmao
As much as Dana apologized for putting his hands on his wife, it doesn't cut it. I don't believe that never happened before because it happened at all. No excuse.
@@RealThermoguy Absolutely zero thoughts about what the wife could have done before. So fucking based
@@RealThermoguy so divorce him then if you didn't like it. Jesus his wife handled the slap better than you
Lost all respect for Dana.
@@RealThermoguy you clearly never been in a relationship and if you have are you sure it was a “relationship”
He doesn’t give af about Francis he just acts like this bc he’s happy Francis went against the ufc and won
It's cringy watching how fake Ariel is. Smh I remember in the old days with rampage Jackson and Wanderlei were going at each other. Specifically one time Ariel heard something that rampages team had said in private to each other and the went to Silas team and said, "rampage is saying this about you, what do you think of that?" Like the snake he is, and then Ariel had the balls to go interview rampage right after ged done this! I remember thinking, "Ariel is like creating his own story, thinking these giant men won't do anhthkng!" Rampage was ready to smash his little head in. It was the first time I'd seen rampage like seriously ready to lose his shit on a civilian.
To be honest, a video about Dana's opinion on Helwani should be interviews and comments of Dana, NOT Helwani
He should probably do WWE only now, he's doing that great now.
surely Ariel knew that the ufc wanted to break the news themselves ... i mean i could argue that he had the right to break it since he got the scoop but he should have seen it coming
When friendship that end over stupid shit breaks my heart!
Ariel doesn't care that much about fighter pay, he just needs to pick their side so they keep coming on his show.
How do you know that
@@DC-pb6xq how do you not know that
Ariel doesn’t deserve to be stripped out of his press credentials.
But he has to admit that leaking that news was a big flaw on his part, trust is a two sides road ariel, you can’t expect the UFC to keep feeding you exclusive interviews and top stories when you can’t even stop yourself from leaking crucial information before getting back to them.
Love the ending of this video!!!!!
When Dana doesn't like someone, it's game over...
Report: Former UFC fighter Phil Baroni arrested for murder in Mexico
Dana is the child. The amount of times he has blown up with other journalists because of how they phrased a question. Insecure baby rage
They Don't Hate each other Dana just doesn't like him.Bottom line.
Dana White is definitely a bully.
You got the facts wrong. He was employed by Fox when he broke the Brock news.
Aerial didn't understand that he was somewhat of an employee of the UFC. HOW could he think that would be good for his career?
Lol how in the world was Aerial an employee of the ufc?
@Angel Bedolla more a sub contractor, needs the ufc. fighters and staff to provide him with his content
Ariel helwani’s saying “when you battle the ufc, the house wins”
And im just like, so you admit you start the battle, why would you cry when you lose then
Dana got fed up with his tricks. Totally understandable that the boss don't want people working against the company. Ariel worked only for himself and his own clout so this shouldn't really be that controversial imo.
Dana is a great CEO
Arial is a good reporter
Shout out to both
I like Helwani but I'll also be pissed if you leak information i didn't permit you to.
This was like watching a bad break-up 🤦♂️
There's something going on there. Just look at the way he's treated by some of these fighters -- as if they were encouraged to go and verbally assault him. That isn't right, man!
Encouraged? By behaving like a rat? Sure
That’s last part made me go awwwwww
so far ive only heard bad about Ariel Hawani but thanks to this video i think hes more decent than i thought
Ariel HYPE KILLER Hellwani
He should cover cooking shows
Agreed
Sorry Ariel...
Media became the enemy when they cried about COVID and get shows shut down
Now Ariel ruined Francis career because of the dana hate
The word I would liken most to Ariel is the word "pest"
Ultimately he bit the hand that feeds him. And yes the house always win my friend.
Looks like Ariel dodged a bullet there.
You don't want to be friends with a guy like Dana.
or under contract
your audio is far too compressed, get a better sound tech.
Dana should be pointing his anger to the once who leaked the info..
He is also a perpetual victim, never takes responsibilities for being slimy and weaselly, and is pretty feminine as well. What kind of reporter makes up some thing out of thin air and then when it’s cold out on it says that it is or was reported by him lol how does that work
He was given inside information from the UFC and asked not to release it, then did anyway! Then wonders why he gets outed?
Man that ending was sad
