Ariel Helwani, of MMAFighting.com, said he and two colleagues were escorted out of UFC 199 for breaking the news of Lesnar's return to MMA before the UFC was ready for it to be public.

Ariel is the best MMA reporter in the business, period. He has been for YEARS. Can you imagine the NFL taking away Jay Glazer's credentials for breaking a story? Never gonna happen. Publicity helps sell fights. More people will tune in to UFC 200 because of this. Disgusting.

Only way to solve this is to have all MMA media outlets band together and not show up for press conferences, media day or any other promotional stuff.

Think UFC will get the bigger picture then?
