Two teammates and Helwani were dragged from UFC 199 before the main event on June 4, 2016. He added that their credentials had been seized, and they were barred from attending UFC events going forward. Prior to UFC 200, he reported Brock Lesnar’s return without alerting the organization first, hours before they announced it. According to UFC spokesman Dave Sholler, such reporting is contrary to the company’s normal practice.

As UFC commentator Joe Rogan pointed out, Helwani was told not to reveal the news due to management’s concern that a mole had leaked it to him, and they would have to dismiss all possible moles if they didn’t know who it was. Rogan’s story was labeled “100% incorrect” by Helwani on Twitter.

Dana White, UFC president, stated that the suspension would last “as long as I’m here.” Later, White allegedly said, “He can cover any event, but he won’t have a credential.”

During an emotional broadcast of The MMA Hour on June 6, Helwani discussed the incident. Later, he learned that it was Lorenzo Fertitta who called Dana White and informed him he had been thrown out because he was “too nasty”. In addition to stating that he would continue to be an MMA journalist, he stood by his decision to break the story as soon as possible.
