Ariel Helwani FIRES BACK at Sean Strickland After, OBLITERATES Him with Facts and Receipts
What was said
"Much respect on the tweet, Sean. Thank you. That's it. That's the big thank you from the Israel radical. That's the big thank you."
Ariel Helwani displays an Instagram direct message he says he sent to Sean Strickland on 8 October 2023: “Much respect on the tweet, Sean. Thank you.” Helwani argues this single message is the full extent of what Strickland has repeatedly described as Helwani privately “thanking” him, and he rejects the suggestion his criticism of Strickland is driven by Israel-related politics.
