UFC World Along With Belal Muhammad Stands Up for Prominent MMA Journalist Helen Yee After Failed Shaming Attempt

Social media can be a nasty place. As good a medium it is to communicate the news around quickly, some use it for the wrong reason. Chiefly in the MMA/UFC space, certain MMA Twitter members are notorious to bring people down.

From fighters to officials to media members, nobody is safe from these random trolls on the Internet. Recently, prominent MMA journalist, Helen Yee shared one such incident.

Why is it that whenever people try to pursue something out of the ordinary, they get shit on? About to go train but I think it’s comical to get hate on by just trying to purse a childhood dream. The internet is a funny place. Anyway, hope you all are having a great day pic.twitter.com/NpZ8oCGBCr

Pathetic people say pathetic things

The UFC welterweight contender, Belal Muhammad, posted, “Pathetic people say pathetic things.”

Also, fellow MMA journalist James Lynch suggested, “Ignore them. Like I told @WillHarrisAOAF a few months ago, that’s like a garbage man giving medical advice to a doctor. People like this act this way because they aren’t dealing with their own issues and are trying to bring you to their level.”

All facts, ignore them @HelenYeeSports . Anyone trying to do something good in their life will always be trolled by people who don’t have the balls to pursue their own passions and dreams.

Helen , continue to pursue your own dreams, we learn early in life that there are those who may be jealous of one’s desire to explore the paths that most don’t have the balls to step towards. Continue being yourself

There’s so much hate on the internet but when you remember that the number of relatively normal, nice people outweighs the number of hostile crazies it helps. It’s just the losers that happen to be the loudest lol. F em

Twitter trolls should not faze you. They are some of the most useless souls to walk the earth. Go pursue whatever you want to pursue and be you.
