Ive been saying for awhile the soldier of god is a fukking problem. Theres never been an athlete in the UFC on his level before. Motherfukkers on sherdog think his wrestling doesnt translate:russ:. At Stann and Rashad getting on him he fought brilliantly. Won money on this fight i hope Romero is an underdog in his next fight.

What idiocy? How u claiming jah and loving faggits?

I won't derail the thread any further past this (we can take the discussion to HL if necessary), but I don't think a higher power is an ignorant bigot. I also recognize that homophobia and heteronormativity as we understand them are relatively recent social constructs (not natural, inborn attitudes), and such attitudes benefit the ruling class by dividing people against it.

Anyway, his comments at the post-fight presser made things worse as far as I'm concerned.

I didn't refer to anybody. What I was saying to the United States, was thank you for giving me the American dream. There's no better country because it is blessed by god. It's in the dollars, that this country is made by Christian people. That means it is blessed by god. Thank you USA.

I retract what I said earlier about #BlackExcellence. :camby: :mjcry: I wish we had a modern-day equivalent of Ali, an Afrikan who was conscious and simply that good at the highest levels.

Yeah Brian and Rashad were throwing all kind of salt on his game plan. :usure: tho @ Rashad at least he beat machida.

His apology seems pretty sincere. I hope he keeps winning just to piss more people off. People need to let that man cook.


Side note: did yall see the way Yoel was embracing Big John? :russ:

I was referencing Romero's comments that support American exceptionalism... something an Ali-type of figure would not do.

To be clear, "Jah" is the equivalent of "Yah," as in "Yahweh." Not all Rastas are homophobes. :yeshrug:

You can read this if you're interested in learning more how contrived and how recent an invention these anti-homosexual attitudes and concepts are.

I ain't mad at cha Dragon. Good showing, u gave it ur all nothing to be ashamed about. Ur far from flabby and sick status but sadly ur now just gate keeper status. Nothing to be looked down upon on. Your 38, former champ, still look in great shape and never been popped for roids. Hold your head up high sir and thanks for the many yrs of good fights you have provided us.
