Ariel Helwanis ikoniska MMA-program, ’The MMA Hour’, har gjort sitt, i alla fall med Helwani själv.
Emotional day, friends. I’m spent.
I feel like I said it all on air, but again, thank you to every guest who’s ever appeared on the show. There’s no show without you. And thank you to every listener and every viewer. The show turned into something I never thought was possible.

I left the studio tonight at peace. Happy. It was a magical run, but it was time to move on. And I’m glad I got to do it on my terms, with my guy @newyorkric by my side. Now I can’t wait for the next chapter. ESPN. The dream.
Thanks for all the love today. I’ll never forget it.

And finally, thanks to these people and anyone who ever worked on the show over the past 9 years. Many came and went, but this group was by far the best production team we ever had. I am forever grateful. pic.twitter.com/xgrcQ87nKv
