Ariel has grown on me but I'm sure there will be a few of you that will say Helwani hands down.
For me it's TJ DeSantis. I cannot stand the guy, he ruins every podcast he guests on and I almost cried when I heard him doing some play by play recently. Just a complete square that still comes off as a total noob when it comes to mma. Actually he comes off as a noob to real life as well, if you have ever listened to the Bruce Buffer podcast, which he makes just gawd awful with his whiney presence.
The English reporter with the glasses and the odd hair job is a close second. Always asks lame questions and you can see some fighters give him a second take before answering.
If Karen Bryant didn't have a nice *** her voice would bug the hell out of me as well.
What are yours?

Gareth A Davis? WTF! There is absolutely nothing wrong or annoying about him, Jesus!!!!
Ariel can be annoying as hell, but I know he's a good guy really

Ariel by a mile, he is a sycophant & his style of interview is somewhere between Geraldo Rivera &
Bruno.
Jay Glazer stands out as a monumental douche as well.

HAHAHA!
he is the biggest disgrace to the mma media ever.
i almost smashed my tv with a baseball bat when he was on ESPN mma live.
he once referred to THE DEMIGOD OF JAPANESE MIXED MARTIAL ARTS as kazushi SA-SHEE-HARA
AKA HE DOESNT KNOW WHO KAZUSHI SAKURABA IS
F*** HIM
that is the same as a a pro boxing journalist on espn not knowing who sugar ray robinson is
Kid Nate on bloody elbow annoys me sometimes. I don't like it when somebody butts in and talks over someone, it's a big pet hate of mine as I find it rude, but Kid Nate does it a lot if Dallas Winstone or Zane Simon are talking a lot of sense on something.
Apart from that he's not that bad.

I don't really hate any...far as annoying goes I guess Gareth like everyone is saying already...but even then I just prefer to not listen to annoying people.
I like Luke Thomas and Helwani

Not a big fan of Luke Thomas either. I like his written articles but he comes off as a pompous f--- in his roundtables and other video work.

I did a gig with his girlfriend, this was about 10 years ago and even then he thought he was this cage fighter tough guy.
I think that's what bothers me, he doesn't defer to the fighters as much as try to sound like one himself.

I hear you, he does try and come off like he gets in the cage himself.
I met him around 6 years ago on the street in NYC. We started talking about martial arts and walked for four blocks or so together until I reached the subway I needed. That not a normal occurance after just meeting someone on the street and even stranger since he is a pseudo-celebrity. He was actually pretty cool, much more mellow than his on air persona.
I don't know how many of you remember this, but a few years ago, when the UFC came to Pittsburgh, I attended the fan Q&A before the weigh-ins with Mike Goldberg and Chris Lytle. I said into the mic, "I'm here representing MMAJunkie.com," and when I checked on the forums, a few of you wanted my head on a platter. So, if you were to consider 16-year-old me a member of the MMA media, I'd say I was pretty annoying.
