In late-2009, Arum called UFC fans "skinhead white guys watching people in the ring who are (sic) also look like skinhead white guys." He also stated that MMA fighters are "guys rolling around like homosexuals on the ground." Earlier in the year, Arum described UFC President Dana White as "nuts" and "a little too much of a loose cannon" for White's use of a gay slur in reference to an MMA reporter.
I agree with Arum...what do you guys think?
Why is it that so many people enjoy MMA more when the fights are always more hype than results and the fighters spend most of the time rolling around the ground with each other?


I personally find it very uncomfortable to watch MMA fights when they roll around on the ground like a couple of lovers. I have nothing against gays (I'm actually a supporter of most gay issues), I just find it uncomfortable and kinda gross to watch MMA fights because of the homoeroticism of them. Then again, I didn't understand why guys who claimed to be straight would like "300", the most gay movie I've ever seen. Who wants to see dudes with digitally enhanced 6-packs in leather undies in slow-motion for 2 hours?

I think this crap between Boxing and UFC (MMA) should stop, it's getting ridiculous.

Yeah, it should. MMA should just go away...it's nothing compared to Boxing. It's like the XFL to the NFL...it's a BS league created in a corporate office in an effort to maximize profit.
