Joaquin Buckley thinks Ariel Helwani’s days are numbered.
Last year, Buckley appeared on The MMA Hour, which was hosted by Helwani before his split with MMA Fighting. During the segment, Buckley tore into the long-time combat sports journalist, accusing him of trying to use fighters as ammunition for his anti-UFC agenda.
“I respect what you do and you do it very well… But me personally, I feel like when we come on your show. You try to use us as a weapon against the UFC,” Buckley told Helwani in April 2024.
