TK did an interview on Ariel's show a while back where Ariel kept asking about the Punk/Elite fight but TK wouldn't answer. Ariel got salty and said it was his worst interview ever.

Around that same time he had an interview with HHH but he never asked HHH about the Vince sexual misconduct scandals so fans called him biased. Ariel said he's not biased but now he's showing up on WWE so TK called him out.

TK's response comes off as playful banter but will be taken very serious by some people :lolbron:
Oh yeah, now I remember reading about that jobber interviewing TK. Still don’t know who the fukk he is and how he became semi-famous. :heh:

Ariel is not a journalist. He pretends to be but he choose his battles now after Dana White stripped his UFC access.

if he was truly a journalist he wouldn't care about access if there's a story he needs to run.. lol

Ariel does some bytch stuff but

The Ariel/Dana beef is more on Dana's side than Ariel. Dana didn't want Ariel at Fox, didn't want Ariel when the ESPN deal took over. If you have the leading "podcast"/"radio" show covering a sport, and were generally the goto guy for MMA news before it became a thing. Having the "Goodell"/"Silver" of a league basically blacklist you from covering their promotion/league it's kind of fukked.
