IT’S THE END OF THE U.F.C. AS WE KNOW IT
Last month, one of the sport’s most prominent journalists, Ariel Helwani, was ejected from a U.F.C. event after reporting a story before the company could announce it; White told T.M.Z. that Helwani would never again receive a media credential “as long as I’m here.” (After sports-media outlets erupted in outrage, the company reinstated Helwani.) This approach to media relations seemed reminiscent of a certain Presidential candidate, and perhaps that candidate took note: on Monday, the Donald Trump campaign announced that it had hired Steven Cheung, who happens to be a former publicist for the U.F.C.
.. As White once put it, “It’s none of your fuckin’ business how much these guys are making.”
