Ariel, how'd you get involved in MMA? Do you train?
Ariel Helwani - [quote]nyhcloyalty - Sorry if it's been talked about, but the other day you said something about MMARated closing down.
Any updates you can give us?[/quote]
Unfortunately, I am not allowed to talk about it too much in public, but this article should give you a sense of what happened to the site (I worked for Sportnet):
http://www.paidcontent.org/entry/419-wasserman-cuts-41-percent-of-sportnet-staff-to-rationalize-business-cut/
Needless to say, I am no longer working full-time at Rated (and neither is anyone else) but am definitely looking to continue doing what what I was doing over there (mainly the video content) with a different MMA media outlet. Hopefully something good comes of all this.
And for the record, I am really proud of what we accomplished in 7 short months thanks IN LARGE PART to everyone at The UG.
