    FAN QUESTIONS: Is Ariel Helwani TOO Critical of the UFC?

    Are Ariel Helwani and Demetrious “Mighty Mouse” Johnson making fair criticisms of the UFC—or taking things too far? Brendan Schaub tackles your fan questions about the UFC’s biggest critics, Michael “Venom” Page’s departure, and Mighty Mouse calling the promotion “hypocrites.” If the UFC is supposed to have the best fighters, why release athletes who keep winning? How much should entertainment value matter? And are fans being fair when they question Ariel and Mighty Mouse’s coverage? Plus, UFC fighter pay and championship contracts, Joshua Van vs. Manel Kape, Alex Pereira’s heavyweight title path, and title defenses versus superfights. Fair criticism or UFC hate?
