Matt Mitrione was suspended indefinitely by the UFC on Monday, hours after the heavyweight fighter and former NFL defensive lineman called transgender MMA competitor Fallon Fox a lying, sick, sociopathic, disgusting freak in an interview.
The UFC was appalled by the transphobic comments made by heavyweight Matt Mitrione today in an interview on the 'MMA Hour,' the UFC said in a statement Monday evening. The organization finds Mr. Mitriones comments offensive and wholly unacceptable and as a direct result of this significant breach of the UFCs code of conduct Mr. Mitriones UFC contract has been suspended and the incident is being investigated.
The UFC is a friend and ally of the LGBT community and expects and requires all 450 of its athletes to treat others with dignity and respect," the UFC statement continued.

“Transphobic”? Thats a new one on me. Whoever came up with that word is a lying, sick, sociopathic, disgusting freak.
I guess we need a new dictionary.....
Speaking the truth is dangerous these days.
Transphobic
Freakphobic
Faggotphobic
What’s the dif’?
I’m still amazed that they’re still calling Cher’s monster daughter a “he” and “him” . . . no matter what you cut off or put on, every single cell in your body cannot be changed.
Under investigation? Has the first amendment disappeared along with the second?
but if he had just beaten “its” face in, everything would be OK.
Disgusting that they'd buckle under like this. I used to have respect for the UFC, but not no more. I'm done as a fan . . . I refuse to watch any more matches . . . if one of their people cannot exercise his freedom of speech, no matter how compelling, than the UFC can go to hell.
I wondered at that too. Coming soon Pedaphobic.
Am I to understand that Fallon Fox is a MAN? And they let him fight against real WOMAN? That is just freaking wrong.
Would this be before, after or during the time they are trying to beat the $h!+ out of each other in the ring?
“phobic” means “FEAR”.
I do not “fear” these people. I LOATH them. They infringe upon my rights to use a “Ladies Room” in peace and privacy, they mock my very chromosomes with their foolishness, they belittle my femininity with their ridiculous parody of my sex, they sabotage my beloved traditions of marriage and family, they infringe upon my rights to free association, they trespass upon and abuse my Freedom of Speech, they restrict and mock my religion, and they trample my First Amendment Rights.
What’s not to hate?
But I do not “fear” them.
If the UFC continues to allow freak sick perverted people into its ranks it will end up disappearing in short order. The vast majority of Americans are sick and tired of this crap. You are a man or you are a women or you are a perverted freak.
That’s BGLTQ, Dana White!
Get your alphabets right!
Soon it’s going to be BGLTQ+P, so you better get ready.
I have to say first I don’t think there is anything wrong with people who want to get a sex change. Why force them to be something that doesn’t feel right to them? And I had to look up this Fallon person and she is not my cup of tea but anyway...
What he said seems to be a comment about her character not her transsexuality. I wonder what she did to piss him off so bad.
Whoa yeah that seems really unfair.
