This has been a crazy year for the UFC.

Bad news, Cerrone said DC was “fighting like a fag”, and now he’s in trouble. The UFC wants to “educate” him about “the issues facing the LGBTQ community”. Ugh.

I remember when Dana White suspended Matt Mitrione for making “transphobic” comments about Fallon Fox. It has been my experience that fighters tend to lean to the right politically and are not PC.

Looks like the UFC has been sold. Bought out by some investment group headed by Ari Emmanuel. I’m going to be feeling really guilty purchasing a product headed by the brother of Rahm Emmanuel.

meh- donald should ‘educate’ the UFC and threaten to take his business elsewhere- Donald said he only gets paid about $80,000 per fight whether he wins or loses anyways because of the contract type he has with the ufc- I’ll be disappointed if Donald comes out with an ‘apology’ to ‘all those who might have been offended’

The official added: “The organization is a proud advocate for equality

No they aren’t!- It is obvious that a person is NOT equal in the eyes of the UFC if you don’t embrace homosexuality and have opinions that show that

from same link

““Earlier today, I said something that was offensive & I’m truly sorry. I’ve got so many friends and fans in the LGBTQ community who I let down today. I can and will be better because I respect the community and equality matters!#WeAreAllFighters @ufc,” Cerrone posted.”

Cfrap- looks like Donald has already caved to them
