Helwani said, “Now, his manager, who I think is actually responsible for a lot of this, who doesn’t like me. Who doesn’t like me stemming from the time I saw him back in 2015, in Sweden, with Brian Stann at a bar. And he was stumbling and all over the bar and kept bumping into me, in Stockholm, four five times. And finally, Brian Stann had to say to him ‘You do that one more time, I’m gonna knock you out’. That’s the first time I ever had any interaction with Graham Boylan.”
Furthermore, the 40-years-old journalist was still confused about what stemmed the issue. Nonetheless, he claimed that the entire incident was very bizarre.

The feud seemingly began during the post-fight interview in the cage. As Joe Rogan pulled Pimblett closer for a talk, the rising fighter said, “But know what, Joe, have you consulted me manager and see how much you’re paying me for this interview?”
Later on, the fighter called Helwani a ‘rodent’. He said, “You’re doing it to put money in your pocket Ariel, you little rodent…” Without a doubt the issue turned giant, with the journalist making an hour-long video only to respond to the attack.
