My long-time colleagues @ekc and @allelbows were also escorted out of the building w/ me. Sorry to report no post-fight coverage tonight.

I love this sport & this job with all my heart. Did nothing unethical. I reported fight news. That's it. & then told we're banned for life.

Well, that really kinda deflates the balloon.

If the UFC wants to be looked at and treated like a real sport, then they need to act like a real sport. Banning Ariel Helwani for life for literally doing his job is just absurd, petty bullshit.
