UFC Lifts Its “Lifetime” Ban on Ariel Helwani

Just 24 hours after MMAFighting.com journalist Ariel Helwani was banned from UFC “for life” and thrown out of UFC 199, UFC has decided to lift Helwani’s ban, which garnered a lot of bad press for the MMA promotion. UFC released the following statement regarding the Helwani situation:

“We respect the role the media plays in our sport and beyond, including MMAFighting’s ability to report news. However, in our opinion, we believe the recurring tactics used by its lead reporter extended beyond the purpose of journalism. We feel confident our position has now been adequately communicated to the SB Nation editorial team.”
