"Just yesterday, I was offered to have Donald Trump on the show. Not sure if I'm gonna do it. Just too political, I try to stay away from all the political stuff, you know? I wouldn't have whoever the democratic... I don't even know who it is, I don't really like any of that stuff, I feel like it's very divisive."

Ariel Helwani slams Dana White's comments on Francis Ngannou joining the PFL
The 40-year-old MMA journalist recently sounded off on Dana White's comments about Francis Ngannou joining the PFL. The UFC president did not seem to be a big fan of Ngannou's move to PFL and while speaking about the same during the UFC Vegas 73 post-fight press conference, White raised questions about the activity of 'The Predator' while trying to downplay the signing.
The comments do not seem to have sat well with Ariel Helwani who took aim at Dana White during a recent episode of The MMA Hour and said:
"Between February of 2019 and January of 2022, which is three years, he fought five times. Now he hasn't fought in 18 months because he's coming off ACL surgery and was a free agent and had to deal with all that. So to frame that he hasn't fought, he fights once every year... is a bullsh*t way of framing all of this."
Ariel Helwani further responded to Dana White claiming that Francis Ngannou is scared of taking risks and said
"Like, literally, that guy [Francis Ngannou] put his life on the line multiple times, was put in detention centers multiple times, had to jump off rafts, had to swim... had to live homeless. That guy doesn't wanna take risks? What are we talking about now? This has become so ridiculous."
