Dana isn't at the presser?

 

[AstroLad]

if the UFC really pulled his credentials he's kind of fucked. What good is an MMA journalist who has no access to the UFC and is banned from their events? They really fucked with his livelihood here.

In my mind just write/talk about MMA (including UFC of course). Don't know how realistic that is, but to me breaking news and most interviews are never really that interesting anyway, prefer the analysis.

 

[Obliterator]

Dana isn't at the presser?

Nope he wanted to dodge any Helwani question.

Where is the gif of Hendo's H-bomb?

 

[Ranger Taffles]

The Ariel ban is crazy and depressing. Dude's reporting for the sport at the end of the day. Such a sour aftermath to an amazing card.

 

[Oscar]

I'm guessing the UFC can't figure out who's leaking info to Ariel, so they decided to just ban him/MMA Fighting.com from any future events as "punishment".

 

[Levito]

Where is the gif of Hendo's H-bomb?

Wasn't an h-bomb, it was a head kick, then an elbow.

 

[Obliterator]

Frankly these journalists should be pushing harder. The UFC could ban any of them on a whim and that should not be tolerated in any way. We've already seen Sherdog, Josh Gross, Helwani and plenty of others banned for simply reporting.

They should be standing for themselves and instead just ignore it.

Does it even matter?

If anything the leak got more people talking about it.

 

[serenewarfare]

Sholler got the gall to say he won't comment on the Helwani stuff "out of respect for all parties involved". Don't seem like they had much respect for those guys as they were throwing them out.

 

[Dr.Acula]

Fraudhold with the dumbest shirt I've ever seen.

including Ester Lin who is probably the best photographer in MMA.

 

[Fox318]

looks like a hospital gown

 

[Ninja Scooter]

goddamn Rockhold

 

[Maintenance]

Oh boy.

 

[Cru]

[ldcommando]

[yoshizzle]

[Vigilant Walrus]

UFC only wants to use media as a promotional arm, if they step out of line they don't like it and punish them. Basically just want media to be their dummies.

 

[NYR]

This is awesome, wwe level mic battle here, wow.

 

[Obliterator]

Wow at this Post Fight Press Conference

 

[Macattk15]

Hahahahaahahaha! Luke is being such a god damn BABY.

 

[ldcommando]

What the shit. Luke LOST? Ariel is banned for life? Dana won't show his egg face to the conference? is this real life? what in the dick.

also hendo won

I think it says something that the reporter didn't follow up or press that at all.

Honestly its what every other sports league dreams of doing

 

[Wallach]

lmao rockhold is a pillar of salt, go fuck yourself

 

[Maintenance]

Even goddamn McGregor had a better attitude after losing.

 

[BigJonsson]

Wooooow, what a dick

 

[Obliterator]

Luke saying "This man can't compete with me."

.....Bisping just KNOCKED YOU OUT COLD

 

[strikeselect]

Luke is SALTY as FUCK

 

[BigJonsson]

If this was the WWE we'd have the rematch right now

 

[BronsonLee]

Compete with my left hand, bitch

 

[Macattk15]

I have ZERO respect for Rockhold now ... holy shit ... what a child.

 

[saelz8]

This is the best Post Fight Press Conference of all time!

 

[Donthizz#]

shut up luke.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

lmao Rockhold created a monster

 

[Chesskid1]

i never really thought luke was cocky before he was a champion

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Rockhold making a fool of himself and bein clowned by a joker, this is great.

 

[Cappa]

Does it even matter?

If anything the leak got more people talking about it.

Lol bisping making all eat crow is hilarious. Love the guy. P

 

[Wallach]

I'm so glad Bisping isn't giving this fucker any slack. Rockhold couldn't hold this L with both hands.

 

[Donthizz#]

omg this is the best post presser ever.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Hendo is the one guy on that presser that Bisping can't talk shit to.

 

[BigJonsson]

Hendo is like whaaaaat

All this salt

Rockhold salty
Cruz and Faber salty
UFC salty

 

[Oscar]

Does it even matter?

I mean, it matters to the guys running that site because it directly fucks their job/income. I know MMA photographer Esther Lin also got escorted out because she's with that team so she missed out on shots during the main event.

I'm sure whoever is leaking info to Helwani is gonna keep doing it, but this was just Dana getting butthurt and flipping the table over.

EDIT: Misread. Basically, Helwani has been leaking info for a bit now ever since he got fired from FOX for siding with the free agency/pro-union fighters. Him leaking the Brock @ 200 info was the last straw for Dana and led to the ban. Any exposure is good, but this is just Dana being the angry rich kid in the room.

 

[BronsonLee]

Hendo is the one guy on that presser that Bisping can't talk shit to.

Bisping knows better now, lol

 

[FATstronaut]

God damn 199 absolutely kicked ass! Such a good card.

Bummed that Ariel got screwed over liked that

 

[Ninja Scooter]

lmao "You drop your right hand all the time, buddy"

 

[Instro]

lol this is fun. Best post fight conference I can recall.

 

[pixelation]

Rockhold said he would finish Bisping inside the first round... gets himself finished in the first round instead.
