Ariel Helwani details exchange with Dominick Cruz following alleged beef

Dominick Cruz and George Janko, a co-host of the IMPAULSIVE Podcast, joined Brendan Schaub for his recent Calabasas Fight Companion for UFC 288.

During the watch-along show, Cruz was asked what he thinks about Ariel Helwani as an MMA journalist by Janko. 'The Dominator' appeared to avoid the question by giving a roundabout answer, whereas Schaub labeled Helwani as the industry's best.

Helwani discussed Cruz's comments on a recent episode of The MMA Hour, and detailed an exchange he shared with 'The Dominator' which cleared the air. Dominick Cruz provided reasons for his comments, which Ariel Helwani shared on his show. He said this:

"Now remember, Dom was on [The MMA Hour] on Monday, and Dom has said that he doesn't like doing a lot of media but does love coming on this show and we've had a great relationship for many years... And so I saw [his comments] and I thought, 'Sh*t that's from Saturday! [Do] Dom and I got beef?!' So what I like to do, as I've done with all these situations... is I like to reach out."

Helwani continued by saying:

"So I reached out to him and was like, 'Dom what's up with this clip?' Dom gave me a very good explanation... and I didn't ask him if I could share the explanation but I don't see why I can't... The explanation was that [Dominick Cruz] had heard that there was some kind of issue back in the day between Brendan [Schaub] and I, which is true. And [Cruz] didn't want to get in between..."
