ESPN reporter Megan Olivi ‘hurt’ after Stephen A. Smith excluded her in tweet

ESPN UFC reporter Megan Olivi felt “genuinely hurt” after colleague Stephen A. Smith failed to include her in a tweet celebrating the network’s all-male team that covers the UFC.

Smith took to Twitter in late March to “brag” about ESPN’s UFC team, writing, “Forgive me for bragging, but we’ve got the best @ufc coverage in the world on ESPN+.” The “First Take” host went on to tag ESPN employees, former UFC Light Heavyweight and Heavyweight Champion-turned commentator Daniel Cormier and MMA color commentator Joe Rogan, among others.
