Bun Ariel, how many times does dis man gotta be told, stop releasing info early, stop Goin behind da scenes jus 2 get da scoop.
If u gonna do everything opposite wha da company asks u, then don't be surprised when they jus fukkin ban u.
A good reporter knows when to skirt da rules and when 2 abide by it. And how to play nice when needed.

What was he suppose to do let the competition report it first?
I could see them shutting that down. Dana's petty when he decides you're an enemy

Jeremy Botter goes on submission radio around the last 10 minutes and blast Dana for the Ariel incident. Literally says Dana doesn't care for his fighters that the UFC hates media that they only use people for their benefit and if they can't use you you're done to them
The thing that jumped out at me the most during UFC 199 post fight presser was how Bisping is enjoying the fukk outta winning the belt and going back and forth with Rockhold all the while....... just a few seats to his right is mufukkin Hendo who dropped Bisping years back and dropped a people's elbow on him to boot.
If I'm Hendo I'm putting myself in the mix like "Bisping, what's up with avenging your loss to me? How can I be down?"

There's other ways to report it first without stomping on your money train.
UFC is da only big game in town in mma. Ariel makes his bread basically off the ufc and it's fighters, how many times u wanna go 2 the well and piss off the plug?
A good reporter either wldve 1, just reported huge new fight being added to ufc 200, the big guy is back. Ppl wldve wondered between GSP, or Lesnar etc etc. U got da scoop, 1at reported but u didn't break da bank. 2. Ariel cldve worked wit ufc and jus been like I know bout Brock I'm releasing it right now. Ufc wldve been like no or else ur cut off. Then Ariel says well work wit me, let me be the 1 to release the rows before u tell other outlets. In a day or 2 or three. Give me the exclusive.
Ariel use to get these types of exclusive but 1 to many times he messed wit da plug and now the plug has cut him off. That's normal for lost things in life.

He's a journalist tho. He reports news from UFC and all other MMA organizations. He's not UFC's PR man or even their media guy. When Adam Schefter is out chea doing his job and reporting NFL news before it's official to the public no one trips. He gets the scoop he runs with it and then everyone else co signs.

I am not stating that Ariel is wrong for doing his job...What I am saying is that neither Ariel or the UFC are wrong...They are both acting on their best interest...
Stop thinking that things are "only one way" they can be "the other way"...
Lose to bisping I'm your prime and think you're better then silva brehs

That's the difference with Schefter though, he doesn't ruin the biggest announcements for the NFL. There's a give and take with him and nfl, where nfl will say sometimes alrite u got the scope but give us 1 day or 2 days to get our ducks in a row. With Ariel he was jus releasing breaking news without regard to the parties involved. Remember it's not jus ufc, their are other media, TV, ppv and fighter companies involved.
Biggest job and responsibility of being a journalist is knowing when to break the big scoop and when to bite your tongue. Anybody can get a scoop and jus release information to the public, but that doesn't make you a real journalist. Jus a tornado chaser.
