Catch Dana White talk about Ariel Helwani right here:
When Ariel Helwani was slapped with a lifetime ban from UFC
Ariel Helwani was previously banned from covering the UFC after he fell out with the promotion. Helwani was banned from receiving press credentials after he broke the news regarding two massive fights that the UFC had in store without consulting the promotion.
Helwani broke the news regarding Brock Lesnar’s return and Conor McGregor’s fight against Nate Diaz at UFC 202. This prompted the UFC to banish the UFC insider along with two of his colleagues from The Forum in Inglewood, California, as they covered the UFC 199 pay-per-view.
However, the ban on Ariel Helwani and his colleagues was promptly removed by the UFC as they released a statement on their website.
