Ultimate Fighter’s Dana White Goes Off!

Dana White, the president of Ultimate Fighting Championship blasted a martial arts journalist with profanity and gay slurs in a video posted on YouTube, over a story she wrote on Serdog.com, about the league’s backstage policies for managers and agents.

Hunt’s article included some anonymous quotes form various managers and agents, who said some managers believed the league’s move was part of a larger attempt to wedge them out of business and deal directly with fighters.

After the fact, White has publicly apologized via ESPN by stating:

“I hurt people that I didn’t intend to hurt and when you do something like that, yes, I believe that you should say you’re sorry.  I never intended to hurt anybody in the gay community, or be malicious, or look like a hateful guy. I never meant to hurt anyone in the gay or lesbian community at all, in any way, shape or form. I would never do that. I was speaking to Loretta Hunt. I didn’t mean to bring those people into this, it had nothing to do with them and for that, I’m sorry.”

He further added:

“At the end of the day, the worst thing for me is that I don’t want anybody thinking that it’s cool to say that word especially now that I know the word “faggot” is as powerful as the n-word. I don’t want these kids out there watching me and thinking it’s cool. I don’t want that.”
