UFC back to old tricks as Ariel Helwani booted off Showtime Sports for McGregor tour

We've been here before...

Ariel Helwani is probably the most renowned MMA journalist in the world. The host of the MMA Hour has previously been banned by the UFC after leaking that Brock Lesnar was set to return for a fight at UFC 200. Well, they're at it again (sort of) because the UFC requested Showtime Sports do not have Helwani as part of their team for the Conor McGregor vs. Floyd Mayweather promotional tour. However, the fighter is still credentialed for the tour and will not be banned completely unlike before. https://twitter.com/arielhelwani/status/884841547019071488 https://twitter.com/arielhelwani/status/884841868076261376 https://twitter.com/arielhelwani/status/884842370788843520 https://twitter.com/arielhelwani/status/884842996860035074
