≈=====================
Some UFC clown disrespected our Forever FLOTUS Michelle Obama, calling her a man. Unfortunately this is nothing new coming from these idiots. They hate intelligent women who aren't afraid to speak their minds amd encourage other women to know their worth and value. They are threatened by women who can accomplish things without relying or depending on a man. It's the typical response to an educated, intelligent woman especially if she's African American. They call us either ghetto or go after our appearance. It's been this way for centuries: weak minded men hate intelligent, independent women.
I'm not surprised by an athlete who is a part of a sport that consists of fighters who have a domestic violence arrest rate more than double the national average for men in their age group and triple the rate of NFL players. They don't even respect the women they're in relationships with.
While he thought he was being funny, he just proved people right who think the majority of UFC fighters are a bunch of racist barbaric imbeciles.
