The MMA journalist Ariel Helwani has been a controversial figure among Mixed Martial Artists, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he doesn’t have a sweet relationship with some of the veteran fighters. Recently, his coverage of the news concerning Conor McGregor’s return to UFC 303 drew a lot of criticism, and UFC Hall of Famer Michael Bisping was among the critics whose words offended the MMA journalist. Michael Bisping went off on Ariel Helwani after the latter’s comments on UFC 303 when he broke out the news about the potential cancellation of the UFC 303, which eventually came true.
“Ariel Helwani is out there a lot of the time he’s posting and tweeting like he’s an expert on everything, but he knows nothing. He’s putting feelers out there because that’s what he wants to do. That’s his badge of honor. He likes to break news. If I hear of a situation, I’m not doing investigative journalism trying to find out like my life depends on it and I will risk everything so I can be the one to break it because who gives a f**k and it’s none of your business. What will be will f**king be. Stay out of it you prick.
Michael Bisping said
Ariel Helwani replied to Bisping’s Comments and called him a bootlicker. Now, again, the MMA journalist reignited the feud between him and the veteran by revealing the fact that the Journalist immensely benefited Michael Bisping, and he was the hand behind getting him a title shot against Luke Rockhold.
No fighter in MMA has benefited more from my desire to be in the know and to report back to you, from my quest to be the best journalist that I can be. No fighter on the planet has benefited more than Michael Bisping… May of 2016, Chris Weidman tells me that he’s hurt. Chris Weidman tells me that he’s injured his neck, that he’s not going to fight at UFC 199, June of 2016 in Inglewood. I catch wind that they’re going to try to book [Ronaldo] ‘Jacare’ [Souza] versus [Luke] Rockhold.”
