Brings up a lot of questions though because heart issues take awhile to manifest. Wonder how they missed all this in the pre-fight medicals. Also wondering if this contributed to him getting fatigued so quickly when he started fighting for promotions. Not making excuses for this performances in his later years but it was always bad......curious if the warning signs were already there. Then again I am speculating because I am not a doctor after all.
the fight was in texas he was also busted for steroids
Helwani stuck a wrench in the UFC promotional machinery. He should focus on doing 95% of the quality reporting he usually does and avoid the gossip reveal crap. That stuff only compromises 5% of all the stories he does. He knows the difference between asking Rockhold tough in depth post fight questions about his title loss and the kind of gossip stuff he revealed leading up to UFC 199 about Lesnar.
He needs to let the UFC promotional machinery do its thing and get its full bang for its buck. Although this might mean sitting on the odd "shock reveal" it is his best long term move.

You cannot know for sure what was his issue without access to his medical record, it's possible for example that he had an acute cardiac event that detroyed a major part of his heart (it could be a thrombotic event, an infection...), to the extent that the only solution was a heart transplant. Speculating without information is useless.
not like that was going to turn anyone against rousey that didn't already dislike her. Sharing a 2 hour long video without a summary is pretty useless
tldw: rousey mad at helwani for asking travis about the dating situation even though travis/rousey both ok'ed the question to be asked in an interview. That was the reason for him not getting interviews with her in Melbourne

Makes that Dada5000 vs Kimbo fight even more irresponsible in hindsight.

the summary was provided above the video. However, i'll expand on my summary in order to assuage your complaint even though its off topic. + Show Spoiler +
"meandering" : we go from why Ariel's 2nd son is named "walter" to why he is a proud canadian to how syracuse university is the greatest ever. "monologue" : 2 hours of an Ariel Helwani manifesto. "maudlin" : Ariel crying on camera for several minutes because he might no longer be able to cover MMA and then minutes later he affirms he is not "going away". Ariel upset because he could not do post fight interviews and analysis for UFC 199.
no idea what that stuff has to do with MMA on a show called the "MMA Hour" though. This was like the "Sammy Maudlin Show" except it was real.

as i stated: another reason to not like rousey. no wonder Ariel looked like the cat that swallowed the canary in his post fight interview with Ms. Holm's team at UFC 193.

Actually Dallas alone are 4B$ but thats some crazy amount of money to be asking for , do we know they revenue and net income ? i dont think they worth that much but you never know.

And I don't think that Man united is that far behind Dallas either. Especially with a decent year in champions league and the new TV deals for premier league teams.
You'd think that they'd keep dana white on to manage the company even after they buy his stocks out with it.
The two bid groups, WME-IMG in conjunction with Dalian Wanda Group, and China Media Capital, had similar bids in the $4.1 billion range, sources said.
Sources said that both bidding groups are still trying to completely finance the buyout, which would be for the entire company. Which company ultimately wins out might depend on the details of that financing. Sources say WME co-chair Ari Emanuel has been asking well-heeled investors to chip in $25 million to $50 million.
One of those investors that said yes, according to sources, was the Kraft Group, which owns the New England Patriots and the New England Revolution. A Kraft Group spokesman declined comment.
The WME-IMG bid with Dalian also is said to include Tencent Holdings, one of the 10 largest internet companies in the world. State-backed investment firm China Media Capital has been bankrolling many projects, including a five-year broadcast-rights deal with China's top-tier soccer league worth $1.3 billion.

i don't think the Cowboys are worth as much as Man United and neither team is close to being worth $4 Billion. i think the Dallas Cowboys are worth about as much as the New York Yankees.

it was discussed on Mccown's PrimeTime Sports recently. that is why i'm fuzzy on details. and they disputed the value of the Cowboys for some reason. ur paranoia is good for a laugh though. the forbes list is a list of guesses.

This is from Dave Meltzer's Wrestling Observer Newsletter.
"Here’s a few notes on UFC finances and these aren’t estimates but actual numbers. In 2014, UFC grossed $449,008,000 and posted a $73,957,000 profit. That was the year everything went wrong with injuries and such. In 2015, the year Ronda Rousey and Conor McGregor got hot, they grossed $608,629,000 and posted a $157,806,000 profit. As compared with WWE, they grossed slightly less but posted more than six times the profit. It should be noted that doesn’t include interest payments on their loans, which were $22,797,000 in 2014 and $21,767,000 in 2015."
