White: Helwani 'stole from fans', threw a 'pity party'

[Wild]

UFC president Dana White attacked Ariel Helwani on 'UFC Unfiltered' for his decision to release accurate information about Brock Lesnar's UFC return.

It appears that UFC president Dana White is still fuming over the fallout from UFC 199.

During the PPV show, MMA journalist Ariel Helwani was escorted out of the building ahead of the Michael Bisping vs. Luke Rockhold main event for accurately reporting that Brock Lesnar had signed with the UFC. The promotion's decision evidently garnered more mainstream attention than they had anticipated, which eventually led to them reinstating MMAFighting.com's credentials following a short-lived lifetime ban.

While Helwani and the remainder of the team are no longer banned from UFC events, they are far from being in Dana White's good graces, as…

"fuck you and your dollar"

Thread should be called, "Predictably, Dana White Rambles Incoherently and Sounds Like a Child..... Yet Again."

 

[Super Dave]

What a goof!

 

[member 3289]

"he knows what he did, and he did it on purpose."

Lol what?

 

[member 3289]

Refuses to give any meaningful details, wants everyone to agree with him.

Goof gonna goof.

He doesn't know how press works. Is under the impression that press only writes what he wants them to write.

Their "leak" or "mole" stole from fans, not Helwani. Salty that they haven't found their rat yet. Get your business in order I would say, because right now he looks like the one who is throwing a pity party. I would focus on what goes on inside the company rather than blast the outside world for being the outside world. Short sighted and childish a bit.

if dana is a 9% owner of the ufc and it was sold for 4.2 billion, does that mean after his 2 years as president he'll get 466 million? or is he going to remain a 9% owner?


also, he's right about him throwing a pity party, not right about him stealing from fans. either way the fans would've found out, and i doubt the # of PPV sales brock will bring in will change drastically because ariel informed the masses of the news he was returning before the ufc announced it

Exactly...I guess it is easier to just blame Ariel than to get your organization together.

Stole from fans? Helwani GAVE the news faster than anyone else so in my book, Helwani is a giver and a generous one.

What Goof is trying to say is that Helwani stole from the UFC

 

[madmav]

stealing from the fans? how about the ufc stealing from the fighters with their reebok shit.

 

[1031]

He can say whatever he wants to say but why he says it is what confuses me.

 

[Stillmatic]

He's right

"This is how the Chinese like their dick sucked. Are you taking notes Arianny?"

 

[regular john]

trying to reasonate it like the fans "lost" something is ridiculous, but I have to agree with the calling out of Helwani's "pity party" and crying on camera.

there are hundreds of other ways he could've handled it other than crying for hours on his own show.

 

[dacofty]

I will never agree with Dana White unless he is behind bars for corruption and wants to have an extra PB&J sandwich for lunch then i agree and say give him one.

 

[hit4me4]

Fuck Dana White's couch

 

[benjo0101]

I'm not surprised mother fuckers.

This isn't the first time he's done this sort of thing.
