Here's another link as well: http://smackhisface.com/2016/06/05/ariel-helwani-company-banned-from-ufc-for-life-kicked-from-arena/


It seems that it was after he broke news of the Lesnar fight as well as maybe Nate/Conor II. 

Honestly, this is absolute ********. As a journalism student, this really pisses me off. Helwani was just doing his job as a REPORTER, and is one of the best in the business.

In fairness to you, I'm sure Dana didn't exactly lose sleep over it.

One thing is certain.  Any disgruntled fighter, exec, or Zuffa staff member with some dirt on the organization will be sure to call Ariel first.
