Let's remember the good times, guys
What are some of your favourite memories of Ariel Helwani?
Ariel Helwani has more twitter followers than 8 UFC champions.
Ariel Helwani makes otherwise vanilla fighters interesting.
He stimulates press conferences, he gives fighters a platform to express themselves and become more likable, he gets information out to fans more effectively than most fighters could do.
Zuffa made a huge mistake here, especially if fighters under their control are forbidden from being guests on the MMA Hour.
>>68174022
That time he raped the poor minority Nick Diaz by asking why he was late to a press conference! Nick Diaz is a persecuted Latino man, of course he's going to be late!
i don't really give a shit about jewani
we should move on instead and get hyped for mcdonald's vs wonderpedo

>Cant believe they banned le down to earth reporter
Lol u faggots are pathetic. Nothing is gonna change. Dana learned he can do what he wants with impunity because the fans continually suck zuffa shaft
Dana just slipped it in another inch.

Waaaaahhhh! You'll have to hear the Brock announcment at 10pm instead of 8pm. Waaaaahhhh! You'll know about the next UFC main event when they release a trailer for it, instead of 2 days earlier. Waaaaaaahhhhhhh!
Ariel was tabloid tier.
The only 2 current mma stories
are how Jon Jones blood test results for the first Cormier fight were never released, and how Brock has an exemption from USADA testing, but no one wants to report on those.
>>68174157
The first amendment only protects you from the government, private corporations can still shut their doors to you without violating it
why the fuck do I know your constitution better than you do, burger
Anybody willing to redraw Cruz. Take away the lats and make him skinnier but leave the wojak face.

Try again, next time.
>>68174276
Didn't say that, lol
>>68174317
Then clarify your point, what exactly is the reason you're bringing up the first amendment? It has absolutely nothing to do with the discussion between Helwani and the UFC
>>68174317
youre so fucking fat and dumb
i genuinely hate you fwiw
Will the sport ever be the same without the jew we all know, love, and think about every day?
>>68173979
Is this sheckel harvester the new big meme?
>>68174339
He's just being a journalist and exercising his rights. It's nothing to do with illegality rather than Dana and Lorenzo just being butthurt over absolutely nothing.
His rights apparently infringe upon their feelings too much
>>68174357
There's some drama going on about him, apparently
I just saw everyone talking about him and decided to make the op topical
>>68174345
I'm actually an atomweight :P
>>68174369
Okay so you're basically just saying the first amendment is a thing that exists
I'm glad you brought that up, I'm sure nobody knew

Well it's apparently nobody knew since that what Ariel is being disparaged for doing
Or do you need an explanation for this, too?
>>68174369
And Dana and Lorenzo are just being businessmen and exercising their rights.
>>68173979
Good riddance.

After what he did to hector im all for him getting brain damage in the off chance he gets a vicious heem.
ooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooo I'm the ghost of ariel helwani's career oooooooOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooo
>>68174493
How exactly is it an abuse?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzUOKSHK6a4
>>68174436
Are you saying people shouldn't be disparaged for what they say because of the first amendment?
The first amendment doesn't mean we have to automatically like everything someone says.
Certainly you're not forced to invite them to private events, comp their services, and cut them a paycheck.
>>68174434
Who got FOTN? Isn't that 50k?
>>68174552
It's excessive and stupid. They're acting unreasonably
Anything else you'd like answered?
>>68174497
>>68174530
the dude got the most brutal knock out of the night and maybe in league history.
It was worth the 800k, thanks Hendo for being the HEEM master. Not a boring score card playing shitter like Cruz.
>>68174552
Just because
Gosh why don't you guys get it?
>>68174201
He's annoying as fuck on twitter. Had to unfollow.
>>68174550
>implying the jew is unhappy about all this attention
I will never follow UFC journalism again
Jon Fitch was bad but this is on another level
I cannot believe what they would do to a man whos family had to flee to Canada because of their religion
>>68174436
Again, what on earth does the first amendment have to do with anything?
The first amendment protect Ariel from being arrested for free speech. Are you saying the UFC somehow tricked him into believing his was being arrested?
>>68174577
>the cruz fight was boring
Maybe its just because I dislike faber but that fight was a fucking masterful performance. I loved it.
is anyone actually supporting the UFC in this? Taking away Ariel's passes is only going to make him a martyr in the eyes of the enlightened. And, it's not like he's just going to stop reporting the news. If anything, he's going to report more because he can just report whatever the fuck he wants because there's nothing for him to lose.
>>68174614
God you are such a fucking retard.
>>68174577
Cruz almost finished Faber 3 times and was actively looking for a knockout. You're a dumbass.
>you know remembers that Faber almost got dropped by Cruz, twice
>>68174574
You just rephrased your outrage at the situation. What makes it unfair?
>>68174649
almost lol he did get dropped twice
Dominic Cruz is a boring faggot and anyone whiteknighting for helwani is a faggot too.
Reminder that if you don't spend money on the UFC, your opinion doesnt matter.
>>68174649
He did get dropped by him, twice
>>68174620
nobody EVER went for a finish, both were ultra conservative score card playing shitters for 5 rounds.
You can call it "masterful" if you want, but at its core its cowardly and safe. Not all that entertaining especially compared to Hendo killing a man on live TV.
>>68174574
But you keep mentioning rights. It may be excessive, but what does that have to do with Ariel's rights? He has no right to be given media access, and his first amendment rights aren't being infringed upon.
>>68174661
well I meant almost got heemed
Fuck you for making me look like a fool now.
>>68174628
You said he was disparaged for using the first amendment.
Again, did the UFC ever say that they disagree with his first amendment right to not be arrested for free speech?
>>68174645
>almost finished
>actively looking for a knock out
lol thats just plain untrue.
Stunned him and then backed off because "well idk maybe he'll catch me with something IM SCARED!"
>>68174660
I didn't rephrase anything. Do you somehow equate abuse of a right as illegal?
>what makes it unfair
It's a stupid reason to ban him. The reason was really utterly inconsequential and they're causing more of a stir with this whole thing
You know the answers to these. You're just desperate to seem the slightest bit intelligible in this.

Listen, my "just bleed" friend, most fights arent two guys taking turns heeming eachother. You'll figure that out after you have seen more than a few cards.
>>68174665
It's masterful in the same way Mayweather could be described as masterful. Evasive boxing for points. At the end of the day, the record stands and the wins count, but your average fan doesn't enjoy it.
>>68174668
All I said was that Ariel utilized his rights as a journalist. It's not the main issue here. You keep bringing it up despite it not being relevant to the discussion anymore
>he has no right to be given media access
Like I already said you fucking retard, I didn't say he had right to that
Are you just being as autistic as possible to evade the actual point Zuffa are being unreasonable? Just focusing on and twisting words?
>>68174434
>Dan Henderson ($600,000 + $200,000 = $800,000) def. Hector Lombard ($53,000)
whew lad
>>68174735
I care. It makes me happy every time I think about it.
>>68174694
Except it is true you fucking retard. Did you even watch the fight? He almost finished Faber with almost the exact position he had Mizugaki in and was constantly pressing Faber whenever he landed a combo
>>68174763
>53k
And that poor cunt Lombard was in a literal coma for an hour.
>>68174696
>It's a stupid reason to ban him.
Not an argument
>The reason was really utterly inconsequential
You have no way of knowing what impact it had or what value the UFC places on stuff. It is also silly to assume this was the result of just one event.
>and they're causing more of a stir with this whole thing
100% irrelevant
ariel exercised his rights, ufc exercised theirs
>>68174688
>did the UFC ever say that they disagree with his first amendment right to not be arrested for free speech
Oh boy, Zuffa shills can't argue the actual point so they'll just keep actually rephrasing and strawmanning.
Ariel was acting as a journalist. The UFC punished him mainly because they're emotional women
I've stated this several times already. Keep up.
Was it disclosed to helwhiny that the bork story was confidential? If it was, then the goof has no leg to stand on.
>>68174820
You seem to be deeply confused about what the UFC, as a private business, is obligated to do.
You seem to be deeply confused about the difference between a right and a privilege.
>>68174817
rekt
>>68174821
He literally said that nobody told him anything about it being confidential etc
He also said that every time he's ever tried to run something past the UFC before reporting on it, they'd have no comment or they'd lie to his face
>>68174798
>not an argument
To what? Their right to ban him? Of course not you fucking retard, it's still a stupid reason.
>You have no way of knowing what impact it had
I can make reasonable assumptions. And you can reasonably assume this did absolutely nothing. It's actually silly to assume it did. It's even sillier to think that any of this is the slightest bit of a reasonable reaction
>100% irrelevant
It 100% is, because if you're to damage control why cause more damage?
You seem to be very autistic and taking everything at face value
Daily reminder that official USADA rules state that a fighter coming out of retirement must submit to 4 months of drug testing, but that Lesnar has been granted a USADA exemption.
>>68174623
It was a stupid decision on the UFC's part, but I don't morally fault them for cutting ties with a journalist who's ruining all their big releases.
>>68174842
You seem to be deeply confused about human linguistics.
Please point out once where I said the UFC had no right to ban Ariel
Or are you just pretending to be retarded again because you know how fucking dumb you're acting when it comes to the fact the UFC overreacted?
>>68174753
You said that Ariel is just being a journalist and exercising his rights, to which I replied that Dana and Lorenzo are being businessmen and exercising their rights, at which point you said that Dana and Lorenzo's exercise of their rights was an "abuse". You have given an answer. All you've said is that it's "excessive and stupid" and that they're acting "unreasonably" but you haven't given any reason as to why, nor given any justification for you classifying it as an abuse.
>>68174865
lol who cares
>>68174865
Do you hate fun?
>>68174867
What exactly is ruined? Most people are in the camp that nothing was ruined. It's a personal vendetta and nothing more. It's childish. But of course retards will interpret this as "b-b-but corporations have rights too!!!!", not only completely missing the point but perpetuating a big issue.
>>68174854
>He literally said that nobody told him anything about it being confidential etc
I'm sure he thought the UFC was cool with him releasing that Brock Lesnar was returning the UFC before they announced...
Especially after he had already been fired twice before for leaking fights...

Here you are again extrapolating a single word as something larger. Abuse of a right is still a right. That doesn't mean I can't think it's excessive or stupid
Or are you trying to tell me otherwise? You realize being this intentionally obtuse doesn't help you, right? It's making you look dumber than you already are.

Yes, that's the point. Nobody is disputing the legality of this. Do you feel smart yet for finally understanding the point, samefag?
what if Cuck Thomas got kicked out? I don't think people would have cared at all.
>>68174856
You saying your assumptions are reasonable doesn't make them reasonable. It means you're just making assumptions. Let's try to use actual facts. The consequences of the UFCs actions are 100% irrelevant to determining whether the original action was just or not.
You are clearly emotional and defensive (name calling and the general tones of your posts) so I won't waste anymore time trying to have a conversation with you. Enjoy your day.
Has anyone posted a webm of Ariel crying yet?
>>68174974
Luke wanted this to happen, hated Ariel from the get go. His time to shine, baby
>>68174974
None of the security staff would have made it out alive.
I like how all of Ariel's buddies are writing articles about this ruining the UFC when they are literally the only people who care besides Reddit.
>>68174946
What rights were abused?
He had privileges taken away.
>>68174946
>I think it's stupid and excessive, I disagree with the punishment.
You've said this multiple times now. The question is why? Apparently this entire talk of the "first amendment" and "abuse" of "rights" has just been a very long-winded way of saying that you disagree with the decision without having to justify your position.
>>68174974
Not even Ariel would have cared.

They would rather not have someone releasing information about Brock's fight at UFC 200 before their promotional material. This is more than enough reason to revoke Ariel's privileges, not to mention all the problems they've had with him in the past.
>>68174980
>doesn't make them reasonable
Thanks, dumbass. That's why we're having this discussion. Of course you're such a fucking autist you're literally disputing every single word as if it's some definitive factual claim
>the consequences of the UFC's actions are 100% irrelevant to determining whether the original action was just or not
Well it seems pretty obvious that they were attempting to damage control and only made a bigger mess. So yes I think it's an entirely relevant discussion point for someone who isn't a gigantic autist like yourself
>name calling
Cry more you fucking pussy.
>so I wont' waste anymore time
In other words you realize you were arguing about facts and not debating subjectivity and realized how fucking autistic you were
Congrats.

>"It seems some MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) websites have reported on the story, posting up that I might die out in the desert, or that it might be my greatest opponent yet, etc. Come on, guys.

"So my plan is to go out to the desert, do some camping, ride the motorcycle, and shoot some guns. Sounds like a lot of fun to me. A lot of people do it. This isn't a version of 'Into the Wild.'"
Jesus. It's sad that he died, but fuck, everyone was telling him not to do it.

UFC 200 is still going to 1.9 million buys.
Then two months later, Conor/Nate with CM Punk is going to break 2 million.
The ufc has every right and good reason to banish ariel for leaking info. What exactly is the controversy here?
>>68175018
we need to know how outraged he is that a Jew doesn't get free stuff anymore. He is REALLY mad.
>>68175034
That's a really shitty reason.

Because I think so. Again what the fuck are you expecting? Are you still under the stupid impression that I'm arguing facts of the matter? I think don't think the punishment fits the crime, what do you want?
>apparently this entire talk of first amendment and abuse has been a way of saying you disagree with the decision
Great, you finally caught on after me telling you a dozen other times you giant fucking aspie
>without having to justify your position
Justify what? My opinion? I'm saying I disagree with the decision, what else do you want? You continue to twist words like "abuse" into meaning "illegal" because you can't actually argue anything.

absolutely steroids or not you cant lift weights with your chin as they say. He did say on sportscenter that one good punch from mark would knock off the rust and hed be back. I thought at that moment brock is gonna get ko'd thinking he can take a punch from hunt.

No, you've just continued to express outrage and say "it's like totally unfair guys just cause". You can't actually provide a logical argument to support your position. Just your tears are keeping it afloat.

>>68175194
My logical argument is that the punishment doesn't fit the crime. It's a completely subjective issue with no right answer. Of course you're going to continue to be a giant aspie and literally argue as if it's arguing a law of physics.
You're asking for a reasoning behind a reason, almost something subconscious, as if asking this somehow makes an opinion on a discussion of the ethics of something irrelevant to the discussion
In other words you're a retard who thinks being his witty but isn't. You aren't actually arguing against my opinion. Just the idea of it

Thats actually a good point its not that he gets ko'd more that he spazzes out and gets afraid. He needs to go full hulk mode again. However this fight he will need to keep his distance and wait for a good shot and go for the takedown. He has no chance on the feet with hunto

Also, this is the most clear cut case of someone biting the hand that feeds him and paying for it. The fact is, you don't have any sort of argument for your stance and have taken it because:
a) you're jewani dickrider
b) you want to be edgy and contrarian
Either way, kill yourself post haste.

I said you asked for reason behind reason, something almost subconscious, it's stupid and you're stupid for asking.

I think his assumption is that because the UFC, being a multi-billion dollar company, is probably going to attempt to make profitable decisions.
>>68175511
Calling a decision stupid or unfair or wrong or any other possible words with negative connotations are not reasons. At most this would be considered ad-hom.

Because that's what I believe? Do you retards still actually think you're gaining some argument points by asking this? You're asking the why to the why. It's stupid and irrelevant.
You ask for why I disagree and I say because it's excessive, stupid, and unreasonable. Then you're asking why I think that?
In what world does this make any sense? You are all fucking stupid

They probably have reasons which aren't privy to the public about why their decisions could be the most profitable. Off the top of my head, there's probably diminishing returns with over-stacking the 200 card and they would sell more buys overall by putting Nate and Conor on 202, Conor might have wanted more time to prepare for Nate, or any number of reasons that we as outsiders have no idea about.
Your argument is that the UFC's decision about revoking Ariel's privileges was wrong. Calling the decision unfair and excessive without evidence or rationale is considered ad-hom because you are essentially calling the decision bad names in an attempt to justify your position, similar to calling someone autistic.
>>68175651
Dude you're literally retarded.
You started this while argument by saying zuffa violated Ariel's first amendment rights and you've been backtracking ever since.

Exactly my point. So I don't see the point in being so absolutist either way. If someone is gonna say "they're clearly acting in profits" then you shouldn't be all haughty if someone disputes that idea
>without evidence
It's out there. It's a completely subjective issue however and I'm giving my opinion
>rationale
The rational is that it is excessive what part of this don't you fucking understand?
Calling a punishment excessive is not ad hominem, you do not know what ad hominem means
>State that I disagree
>Why?
>Because I think the punishment is excessive and does not equate to the alleged wrongdoing.
>Yeah but why?
What the fuck does this even mean?
You saying you disagree with my rationale isn't an argument either then
This goes both ways. You're arguing against your own logic or you acknowledge that disagreeing with a viewpoint as irrational and the punishment not fitting the crime, is in itself irrational
In other words you're a deliberately confusing dumbass because you know you can't actually argue against the idea that the UFC was acting petuantly
>>68175734
it's not a meme just cause you spammed it a couple times
hunt gonna lose cuz his opponent is a walking PED
>>68175651
In a debate you should be prepared to argue your position.
For example, if you were trying to claim the decision was stupid because it negatively affected the company's bottom line because Ariel did a lot of promotion for the UFC and cited facts about his followers and sales, you could make that case. Or you could claim it is unfair because people in extremely similar circumstances have not been banned, etc. You should try to come up with reasons rather than simply stating that something is wrong or bad and leave it at that because no one is going to accept such an unfounded argument.
>you now realise you had already forgotten about helwani's dead mma journalist career
>>68175591
Hunt stuffs takedowns like they're nothing most of the time. The reason Miocic was able to get him down was because he'd feint out Hunt's check hook then dive under it (something Brock wont do). In the later rounds after Hunt was beaten down badly he didn't even need to do that. If Brock just charges him early he's catching an uppercut like he did in the Cain fight but instead of just wobbling around he'll go to sleep.
>>68175756
>by saying Zuffa violated Ariel's first amendment rights
Didn't say anything remotely to that effect. Perhaps you have trouble understanding what I'm saying because you're a fucking retard
>>68175769
>ask for why I think it's bad
>it's unfair, punishment doesn't fit the crime
>YEAH BUT WHY
I'm not sure what you're even arguing at this point. You keep trying to argue facts of the matter when it's completely subjective
Mainly because you're a wittle butthurt aspie that knows he has no actual argument

I am arguing my position. I am saying the UFC is acting irrationally and the punishment doesn't fit the crime. Your intentional confusion with this does not mean I did not state a position or not make an argument.
It is you being a retard and being unable to argue something that isn't black and white
>because Ariel did a lot of promotion for the UFC and cited facts about his followers
I said he was the biggest journalist, which he is. This is already established.
You haven't actually refuted a single point I've made. You haven't made a single counterpoint. You've just spent this entire time being as intentionally dumb as possible to avoid the actual discussion
>or you could claim it is unfair because people in extremely similar circumstances have not been banned
I don't know of any specific things like this
This is why we have discussion and not make idiotic conclusions after a point has been made
You either provide a counterpoint or just concede you didn't know that you were actually arguing the subjective side of this, an ethical thing
This is you continuously twisting things because you cannot address that argument
When Nick Diaz was unjustly suspended for 5 years, Ariel made sure that he constantly mentioned it over and over again on all of his programs until the ban was lifted. We need to do the same for Ariel. We need to harass the fuck out of the UFC for as long as this lasts until they do the same. Ariel fought for an injustice. Now it's time for us to do the same for him.

Who has beaten Mark in the UFC? JDS, Werdum, and Miocic.
Hunto has heem'd Mir, Bigface, Big Country, Struve and Kongo
>>68175904
He has shit house set ups for takedowns, he just charges people, which considering his insane speed can work a lot of the time. Stipe doesn't, Stipe sets up his takedowns by drawing out his opponent so he can dive on their hips like most fighters who are known for their wrestling in MMA (GSP's entire career depended on this). Cain didn't defend Brock's takedown because he's the superior wrestler or anything, he defended it because he punched Brock square in the face.

You being confused or not is completely irrelevant at this point. You understand the point. You just haven't refuted it. You're just arguing for the sake of arguing because I've upset you

>Today, though, on his own popular weekly broadcast The MMA Hour, Helwani went well past admitting to being a less than objective MMA journalist. In a surreal two-hour broadcast that ended with him crying while talking about his family fleeing to Canada from the Middle East under threat of persecution, Helwani admitted to having done things while covering the UFC for Fox Sports and Vox Media that would have gotten his ass thrown to the curb by any respectable media operation.
>The biggest of these was admitting that his checks for appearing on Fox’s pre- and post-fight shows were signed by Zuffa, UFC’s parent company. As Helwani explained it, his checks went from Fox to Zuffa to Helwani, and he accepted this, despite extensively describing how he learned in journalism school that this was absolutely something he shouldn’t have done

You have confused your opinion with an argument. An argument has reasons to support an opinion. You've just angrily stated your opinion over and over. Its actually hilarious. I wish you could see yourself like everybody else does - it seems like you could do with a laugh.

There is a reason. I have stated it. You not accepting it doesn't change that.
>Why do you disagree?
>It's irrational and the punishment doesn't fit the crime
>Yeah but why?
This is a reason, followed by you asking for a reason for a reason like a fucking retard. Still not actually engaging in any discussion. Because you have no argument.
You're basically just asking for facts in a discussion that has almost nothing to do with it. it's debating the ethics of certain actions. And again you can't do this, because you don't have an argument. So you're reduced to just pretending to not being fuming with tears right now in an attempt to salvage your pride
if ariel wasn't jewish y'all would be champing at the bit to defend him. he's provided so many great moments and helped construct some of the best and funniest narratives, constantly giving a platform to fighters to show who they really are outside of the ufc's sterile corporate marketing.
for a true fite fan heems and heem memes reign supreme. ariel is a prime purveyor of the latter. if you don't support ariel you are literally a casual and should gtfo.
Dana and the Fertittas are just pissed because Ariel stands up for fighters and fans. He promotes better fighter pay and rights. That challenges the UFC, they don't like when someone challenges them. They are just dirty Las Vegas wannabe gangsters. Ariel keep up the good work, don't change.

You saying the UFC is acting irrationally is not an argument. That is a statement which, without evidence, is useless in any form of debate. I could say you are wrong and irrational as well, but we both should be able to cite reasons and explanations for such conclusions, otherwise we could continue calling each other wrong without advancing the discussion in any way.
Subjectivity is not a protection from criticism and most people with disagree with you if you cannot support your claims.
He does have a large following, but most people who listen to his podcast are already purchasing product from the UFC. Ariel himself said that his entire show is only around today because of the support from Dana. Ariel has also objectively worsened the product by disclosing promotional information. Again, neither of us can say with any certainty whether or not banning Ariel was a profitable decision or not. My argument is that because the UFC is a billion dollar company, they probably know more than either of us and probably act in their own best interest, this is a reasonable assumption because self-interest is a defining trait of people and corporations.
The only "points" I've seen are you calling people names and that the UFC is wrong and that your opinions are immune from criticism from their subjectivity, to which I have stated that we can have rational arguments even about subjective material.
People in similar situations than Ariel have been banned for much less, he has been given numerous opportunities, been told by the UFC that they do not like what he is doing, and was on Zuffa's payroll while reporting on the UFC, which is fragrantly unethical according to virtually all schools of journalism.

>>68176231
If you say your favourite colour is blue and someone asks you why, then you wouldn't require justification because no one but you could determine the answer to such a question. It's purely subjective. Any, or no, reason would be appropriate.
But when you're talking about something which exists separately from yourself then you are no longer talking about something purely subjective. Things, people, courses of action, etc, have an objective nature to them, and when you declare these things to be "excessive", "stupid", "unreasonable", etc, then you are attempting to characterise its nature. One of the reasons people discuss things is for the sake of determining what this objective reality is. People may see things differently, and may hold different opinions, but we argue for these opinions in order to better determine which is closer to the objective truth. This is the basis of ethical inquiry.
Your argument seems to hinge around the assumption that all judgements are purely subjective, that there is no objectivity whatsoever, and therefore you can hold any position about anything and require no justification greater than "because that's how I feel."

I understand you have no clue how marketing works, but Ariel was a little faggot stealing the league's thunder in order to increase his own journalistic merit. He got caught, he got dealt with, and then he fucking cried about it on air.
I don't care if he's jewish, he's a manipulative little cunt who is out for himself and deserved what happened to him.
Just listen to MMA Hour, Jewriel crying his jewish crocodile tears

>is not an argument
Except it is, you disagreeing isn't an argument either then, you whining about this entire thing isn't an argument either then. Again your circular logic fails you or you acknowledge you've been retarded this whole time
>without evdience
What fucking evidence? This is completely subjective. You're still a fucking dumbass that doesn't get this.
>but we should both be able to cite reasons
Because banning Ariel for leaking a story that otherwise was utterly inconsequential was stupid. Like I've said. Like you've stupidly ignored. Like you've failed to actually refute
>calling each other wrong
No, we'd have a point counterpoint. But you haven't provided a counterpoint so you've decided to not make one and here we are now. We're debating a complex issue, obviously nothing is going to come as easily as debating the effects of a chemical compound on the human body. This is what you continue to intentionally ignore
>subjectivity is not protection from criticism
I didn't say otherwise, dumbass. Saying something isn't an argument simply because you disagree isn't an argument either however. Your circular logic has been pointed out already and you continue to ignore it
>are already purchasing product from the UFC
Relevance?
>because of the support from Dana
And now they have mutual benefits. T
>neither of us can with any certainty
Then don't fucking argue either way you dumbass. But again this is why we have discussion and not jump to the idiotic conclusions you are after the first fucking point was made
I made an argument that the UFC hasn't always made business-friendly interests. You can't criticize me for saying something without concrete evidence then do the exact same thing.
The only point you've made is conclusively ignoring what a reason and rationale are. We discussed your "citing" things then you completely went off track again for no reason at all.

>>68176309
I made my point and discussed multiple things and no one has made a counterpoint
You've kept reverting back to the original reason and not actually delving into any actual discussion
The times where we briefly had discussion were idiotically dismissed by you with your circular logic
"The UFC was acting profitable because I know and you don't"
That's where it ended and that's why we're back to you arguing for the sake of arguing. because you're a fucking retard and realize you have no actual argument to this.

"I know the UFC's numbers and you don't"
And again, we're back here because you're a fucking retard that doesn't actually know to how to argue
Tell me about your best friend, /heem/
The UFC sells a narrative and suffers a theoretic financial hit if that is spoiled, like any other form of media entertainment. Helwani, an employee of the UFC, spoils the UFC's narrative, and thus becomes a financial liability to the company - justifying the firing.
Anybody supporting Helwani in this situation, has no logical justification for him being rehired, rather they're just fanboys of the #1 professional fanboy and should probably heem themselves.
>paid shills are unethical but banning paid shills from shilling is way more unethical

>>68176572
He doesn't know I exist.
>>68176535
I explained multiple times to you already. And within that I've explained this thing I've been saying multiple times. Again, we talked about "facts" and '"citing", and it boiled down to something that was ultimately fruitless as it came to you dismissing my point because "we don't know for sure", well that goes both ways in this case
>>68176576
>Anybody supporting Helwani in this situation, has no logical justification for him being rehired, rather they're just fanboys of the #1 professional fanboy and should probably heem themselves.
Agreed. This thread has made this very clear.

taking his press access =/ firing him
Was genuinely considering going to 202 until this Ariel business
>>68176576
Go ahead and prove that theoretical financial hit then, go ahead and prove that liability when it's quite evident that no one was actually spoiled in the literal sense of feeling undone by knowing Brock's return so early

Zuffa doesn't need any shills or a personal army, but Ariel sure does and that's what you are..

So you're just deferring to a higher authority with no actual understanding of it yourself
You completely exclude the possibility Zuffa would cut ties with something even if it meant they took a slight profitable hit

True, but taking away his press access is justifiable for the same reasons.
>>68176618
I can't prove it - that's why it's theoretical. The concept would be that the UFC would want to withhold that info so that they could provide more incentive to buy ppvs, thus allowing the UFC to profit from the teaser.
Then again I'd be implying that anyone purchases ppvs, but still it's understandable that they'd want to set a precedent here so they can sell more of them.

It's not about Zuffa specifically so much as it's about this ridiculous idea that a company is unethical for retracting the press privileges of a journalist who is acting contrary to the company's interests.
