Debatable Honorary Mention: Ariel Helwani Situation

Many UFC fans, or Dana White un-fans, reading this might expect the Ariel Helwani-UFC 199 fiasco. This is because Ariel Helwani is well-liked by fans, and Dana White is not.

At UFC 199, White had planned to do a big unveiling of Brock Lesnar’s return. Helwani found out about the deal from an inside source and reported it before the unveiling. White, although he would later go back on this, revoked Helwani’s press credentials from UFC events for life.

Some fans feel that what White did was unfair, and an example of him being a tool. Others think White was within his rights to take away press credentials from someone who has released information the UFC planned on releasing to the public themselves.
