In other news, FOX fired Ariel Helwani. He will no longer appear on FS1 or their fight night shows.
He didn't get into the reason or criticize anyone because he didn't want to burn any bridges, and he still has a full time job covering MMA online, but everyone thinks the last straw was his interview with Rory MacDonald on his weekly online show, where they got into his contract and whether he will test free agency. The UFC didn't like that, and it also put FOX in a weird spot where MMA journalism was getting in the way of business (FOX doesn't want one of their employees in any way encouraging a UFC fighter to explore options outside the UFC).
