That's my problem with this whole thing. Should Mitrione have kept his dumbass mouth shut? Yes. He's a representative of the UFC and a professional. But Zuffa isn't telling Sonnen **** for being a racist, or for Rashad Evans telling Penn State wrestler Phil Davis "I'm gonna touch you up worse than that guy from Penn State (Sandusky)." ****, that's not even just "crossing the line" that's just ****ing unethical. But Dana White didn't do ****. If he wants his fighters to start acting like professionals; then treat them ALL as so.
I have no issue with Lesbians, Gay, transgender etc but I can't see the argument for allowing Fox to fight women. Testosterone levels is causing havoc in sport. Your testosterone level should real natural and thats what you fight with. Carry out level changing post fight career, not to make you feel young or even change sex. So is Cyborg joining the UFC 145 division?
The big difference was Chael was clearly trolling everyone and some of the he came out with was pretty funny such as The Nog's feeding a Bus carrot's he was clearly joking. What Meathead said was very aggressive and nasty and defiantly an attack. As I said I agree with the sentiment of what he said but he should have been a bit more subtle about It.
First of all, that Nog/bus/carrot joke was ****ing hilarious. But Sonnen being 'funny' is still completely subjective. There's no ****ing difference. You may not, but Nog's fans could've found what Sonnen said to be "aggressive and nasty." Imagine if the world ran like what you're describing. National representatives would go in front of millions and spout of racial slurs, but wait, they're okay as long as they're funny? Check yo self, nigg.
What Chael said about Brazil, and the brazilian kids out playing in the mud was very very disrespectful. And Brazil has a HUGE fanbase and over 1/2 the UFC champs are brazilian. It's a double standard here. If Mitrione is getting punished for voicing his opinion here about 1 fighter, Chael should've been punished for insulting an entire country time and time again. :deal
Yep, it's one thing for him to say he doesn't like the idea of a biological man fighting a woman for various reasons. But it's another thing to call a transgendered person a sociopath for wanting to fight women. We don't know jack **** about this person. I'm not quite sure if I'm politically correct about my position, but to my knowledge there are more differences between men and women besides having testes and different hormone levels. There's also the nervous and musculoskeletal system which are somewhat different between men and women which should be checked out. If its about hormones and not what a person is biologically, I wonder if guys like Nate Marquardt, who's physically a beast of a man but his testosterone levels could possibly be naturally low enough to compete with women if he came off TRT. What's to stop him from fighting women? Beard and all? Just wondering.. Is it that he has testes still? Are the rules about genitalia? This ****'s confusing. :blood Not long ago I heard from a well known professor of Anthropology that 1 in 10,000 women is on the level of an average man when it comes to strength. Just seems there should be more investigation, are we so P.C. that we are going to throw women in against men?
If Mitrione used more tact, then none of this would have happened but having said that, I kind of agree with what he's saying. Fox may indeed be a woman by way of internal deformity (having a woman's brain) but as a woman Fox has a powerful advantage over other women by having the body of a man. I would regard this as similar to a fighter using PEDs.
Right?! The commissions are ****ing sexist. They should just let us males with dicks fight those bitches. :bbb

Yes but the way sonnen says it keeps him from getting in ****. Sonnen is a smart guy and great speaker. He could be the next big motivational speaker like Robins lol
