Because they’ll get banned like Ariel did

They will blackball any media member they don't like. Go look at what Ariel said about Robin Black in this same press conference for criticism of the ufc.

Do you guys know what press conference got Ariel banned? Was it the lesnar fiasco or something separate ?

@@TheRubberMatch Lesnar fiasco he was escorted out of the arena during the event

Lmao Right? Not like Dana has the power to totally blackball them from anything UFC. Lmao It would be like asking why don’t North Koreans just speak out against their leader?

Then he said again and much slower for greater effect 😂

Time stamp?

@@macbrowning 11:27

Tbf Dana makes it very easy when he sprews bs like that😅

Dana put his own foot in his mouth, Ariel only obliged him with a spotlight for all to see every angle.

Someone needs to stand up to Dana for all the crap he does.

but he is speaking facts

With the way Dana treated of course Ariel would do this.

100% Mmafighting is great, I love them, they speak facts and are very entertaining. Hope they keep it up.

you have to be new to the mma scene if you like Ariel lol.

​@@fjuuuuuz 1k percent this guy was fully gassed up Francis to take on the UFC then when he fumbled the bag tried to distance himself. Anyway you slice this Francis made a mistake. He was going tk get 8 mill a fight and PPV cuts which if he fought Jones would hsve done over a million buys. That fantasy of him waltzing into the boxing scene to take on Fury for some ungodly amout of money was never happening.

Guru shits all over Ariel in more ways than 1

That’s true, second that

Pfl gonna regret signing Francis

No it’s not facts it’s his opinion,who lives their daily life the way Ariel does..Dana could pick waffles instead of pancakes at the hotel and Ariel would be offended and tell you why he should of picked pancakes

Literally zero facts but ok.

@@angryroy6277 all facts, Francis never got cut by the ufc. Dana never ducked Jones, Francis takes a bunch of risks, UFC does gimmick fights all the time, UFC lets fighters have long layoffs as well, i can keep going with Dana’s lies in this vid. There are a bunch of facts Ariel dropped you weren’t listening

I have no idea what truth is, but I do know there are different types of risk-taking. There is risking everything when a person has nothing to lose, and there is a risk when a person has everything. Ariel described risk when Francis had nothing

That’s not just a champ that’s the goat…

Khabib was fighting only once a year

Mcgregor has only fought 4 times in the last 5 years.

But paying someone when there not fighting.that’s what he means

Jon Jones? The GOAT? What does he have to prove? 😂

Then why didn't Francis want to fight Jones first and then do his whole promoter side hustle? Would've made more sense if Francis fought Jones then did what he wanted after but he held out on the deal just to be a promoter. "back francis to the edge of the world" - prove it

Thing is, while the language may be evocative from White, Ariels whole angle here is a bit of a reach. Dana is clearly saying that Francis is on the top of the mountain, and wants to leverage that into a major payday in a different sport. Dana doesn't A, think that exists (and there's significant proof to back that), B, doesn't want the optics of his champ getting splattered in a boxing ring and C, wants his champions to defend their titles. If Francis loses his next MMA fight, this fictional boxing payday disappears into ether, that's the 'risk' he doesn't want to take. He doesn't want to blow his shot at a payday, so he's holding out signing a contract that makes him have to fight in a cage. Expressive disbelief that another organisation is throwing money at him while also entertaining this idea is about where I would be. The MMA vs Boxing sideshow is exactly that, and there's a percieved threat to MMA by it. Francis wants to pursue it, and Dana wanted him to fight in a cage. That's all this is. I'm a fan of Heelwani, but this is a reach.

Make sure u buy the PFL ppv then

@@ciscoperez6879 I will literally buy it 2x. Francis is a pure soul and his sincerity speaks loudly.

@@MatDeCesare you barely have the funds for it come on

i love ariel but thats a bad take. hes human so there is always bias. he still talks to mike perry(a known abuser) and conor (a known abuser) but condemns dana for slapping his wife. he also talks to fighters who have hung out with the warlord for cash. its work so im not judging him but unbiased and honest....yeah most times but not without flaw

Dana got exposed like never before on this one.

Dana White is a habitual liar.

Arial does that too

Ariel is no different. Conveniently leaves out that Francis own team admitted that one of the main problems they had with the contract was that his pay would drop if he lost the Jones fight. He was obviously concerned otherwise that clause wouldn't matter.

@@bentobuster6995 excuses excuses.

Double talk? Is that another term for LiES? Dana White lies habitually. He’s among the worst humans on earth.

@@XBlack-oc6xt Ariel is Only no different if you actually think Ariel's double talk has the same effect on a fighter's career as Dana. And if you actually think that, can't help you.

He can still be annoying at times, but hes still necessary as hes one of the few media personnel that will call out the bs, especially Dana's.

Cameroon africa is a continent stupid

He still annoys me

How?just because he took risks before? People can always start to play it safe be real..who ngannou going to fight that will make you be like wow he’s the best still??

I mean there’s a big difference between risking illegally crossing borders than risking millions of financials lol

He is a Karen. How you can listen to his whiney 💩 without stabbing ur ears with dull butter knife is beyond me

He's going in at Dana 😂 Dana got to be mad at this guy

Me too...

Although I did really enjoy the Brenda/Paddy beat down. Lol. Nice guys never meddum

Underappreciated COMMENT!!!

as you should boyo

Only Ariel & Luke Thomas

Ngannou's tweet exposed the majority of this. Ariel just backed Ngannou with even more receipts

Exposed what? Ariel is just trying to spin it to make it seem like Francis made a great idea. They paid him not to fight for a while.

Only low IQ people like Ariel. Guru has exposed him repeatedly.

Yeah, because many fans have fantasies about one day d-riding Dana in real life rather than in the comments on YT. Thank god Ariel has balls, even though having balls as an MMA reporter means having the most powerful guy in MMA try to ruin your career forever.

How is he beating him?

Beating him how? UFC doesn't need him

How is he losing?

LOL you really think the lofty numbers coming from Francis regarding the PFL contract are real?

Agree but I’d add he’s speaking up for than just Francis; Dana is actually everything that’s wrong with MMA. This is what happens when you give a shady promoter too much power.

So nice to have someone like this ariel

power slap isnt the ufc

"we don't do gimicky stuff" as the bmf belt was just announced.

@@dixinbuttz44 brother what are you talking about

@@luisanaya9327 as bad as the bmf belt is, more lucrative and more people care about it than any pfl ,bellator or one championship belt

​@@drewdrewson1384 the first time in years it's been mentioned for a fight 😂.

lol yeah because we'll all be buying PPV's to watch Francis fight bums 🤡

Ariel is acting like Francis is chasing a boxing match to win the world title or something. He could care less if he loses. It’s a complete money grab. Ariel acts like it’s some huge risk, when it reality, Francis just wants a big payday.

@@lucasgregory6375yeah…bums earning a minimum of 2 million USD. Yeah I hear ya mate

While constantly using Dana’s name to get clicks and views.

Dana was his promoter when he made those comments, he is not his promoter now when he is criticising him. How does this video argue anything?

@@ChadHooverFishing he is a journalist. If a football/soccer jourrnalist says that french ligue 1 is not as good as other 4 european leagues by pulling up facts then does he hate french ligue 1?

@@ChadHooverFishing it's his job to cover the sport, genius

Dana white made Ariel and now he turns his back on him. All these guys want is money yall are professionals quit complaining

Don’t poke the nose 👃🏻

I'm trying to find out how. Ariel's done nothing but complain about proven facts. That Francis ran, made a bad decision, and then made a worse one.

​@@smeff099don't twist the truth buddy. The narrative you guys ran with was Francis fumbled the bag. Now moved the goalpost to PFL fumbled the bag. For a fanbase obsessed with masculinity, a lot if it's fanbase do love getting on their knees for a billionaire.

@@smeff099 Francis had contract issues before jon jones even returned. He didn't run. He wanted a deal with certain perks. The UFC didn't offer it but PFL did.

This was a clean knockout

Dana always lying!

@@Chris-tc2ez right. I just don't understand why most of the time.

Eddie Hearn told media that Joshua had mentioned it’s a gimmick fight

Eddie Hearn said this per Anthony Joshua

Dana always generalises, lies and comes up with the same tired bs whenever he doesn't get his way. In other areas of the business, he's incredible, but not this area.

Dana is just a bully point blank.

At this point if you don't bet on the Predator you have no brain. Francis started betting on himself when he was no one, why would he stop now that the entire world is proving him right?

Yes. He goes all-in and sets his sights high, and those guys in PFL I'm sure they did their due diligence before investing potentially millions on this deal and they are confident enough to share the risk with Francis. Cheers to them💯

Lmfao if you ask me Francis ran. Bro is not that smart. If he was smart he would of waited to have Jon Jones infront of him and beat him first before throwing his temper tantrum. Lmao who is he going to fight now? Nobody worth a damn haha you ngannou fanboys are delulu.

​@@heavyartillery-qm5hulmfao with this new ngannou deal they will absolutely go bankrupt.

@@heavyartillery-qm5hu Francid wont tho. Lol

Lol bro Ariel absolutely SHREDDED Dana here 😂

This is why people shouldn’t come for Ariel. He’s pretty much always gonna win because he is smart and well researched.

@@TheDildaddy Very true. don’t always have to agree him but he never talks out his ass so his perspective should always be considered 🙏🏾

The man closes out the registers at PF Changs too. Don’t know how he fits it all.

That's what abusers do. He's done this to every single fighter who pushed back against him or didn't want to sign with the UFC. He trashed Fedor, Anderson Silva, GSP, the Diaz bros, Jon Jones, and many more. My favorite was him trashing Ben Askren for years calling him boring, not a draw, only beats up cans in Asia, etc then traded away one of the best fighters ever in Mighty Mouse to sign Ben Askren who retired like two fights later lol.

That video would do 100m PPV buys.

​@Dumb Yet Smarter Than You cause these are all the fools jumping in pretending they've followed Ngannou's journey. Theyve never watched him live and they never will, hence why the fans with half a sense recognize these figures ain't gonna happen outside the UFC without a legit dance partner

He should give him a power slap.

Nah, maybe a slap would ok. But that Overeem uppercut would kill Dana.

Dana will die, and Francis will go to jail without getting any cents of that millions PPV... You will be the first to laugh at Francis as usual no matter how good he is... Francis is a good guy, Dana is not worthy Francis punch.

Everything is personal with Dana and he’s become a vile person with all the power he’s had over the sport of MMA.

Guru is the voice of MMA

Except that he is corrupt and agenda-driven.

@@brobocops fat angry hateful little man who has never even hit pads.

​@@brobocops lol

@@brobocops I second that

The feeling is mutual, Dana doesn't like him too.

However much Ariel doesn't like Dana, you can multiply that by 50, to get the level to which Dana doesn't like Ariel.

"Fighting Ariel is like fighting a girl" - Dana White

That's the true fight we all want!

Slap fighting.

In the ufc, it’s very blatant compared to other sports

Yes Dana deals in doubletalk. The PFL and Bellator need to combine so that they can compete on a equall level with the UFC.

​​@@donaldseigel4101 it will make for some interesting battles business wise, bidding for the next big star and it will only benefit the market more

Yes, Ariel is a good example of a hypocrite.

Helwani is a bigger pos than White and half the things he is saying here are totally incorrect.

Dana is right

​@@ItsameAlex best troll ever. You should keep on training your arguments yet.

Yeah but for an ridiculous amount of money. But Ariel wants to spin it like they could't afford it. If the numbers don't make sense they don't make sense.

@@takoflame4948 i’m not saying Francis is worth what the PFL are paying him that remains to be seen, what i’m saying is Dana is ruining his name calling him a coward for ducking Jones when for 2 years Francis wanted Jones and only Jones.

He asked for way more than he knew ufc would give, so did he really want it? If i really wanted that fight Id have taken the seven million or so and the fight I wanted tbh

@@takoflame4948 exactly, he deliberately priced himself out of the fight. His ppv numbers dont justify the numbers he seemed to ask for. He was offered six or seven mill which was more than fair.

@@takoflame4948 What are you talking about? The UFC didn't value him. Dana White didn't value him so he went and got a deal that he wanted. That's how negotiations work and Dana White s******* on him for no reason makes it seem like it's personal to him. I mean he's done this with every fighter. All he could have said was I'm happy for Francis. Hopefully his first fight will be epic and he makes Even more money off of it. But no, he has to try and trash and s*** on him because the man decided to wave bye-bye and not take any old deal or take a deal that he wasn't comfortable with.
