Ariel Helwani and several of his colleagues were removed from the UFC 199 event for doing their job and reporting MMA news.

Journalists should not be censored and as much as UFC wants to control them, they should accept that people like Ariel are good for the sport.

Ariel is passionate about MMA and has dedicated his life to covering the sport. His colleagues were also removed from the venue, so this petition applies to everyone at MMA Fighting including E. Casey Leydon and Esther Lin.
