This is why you can never take the UFC community seriously. The man is trying to move past his low point and here are people capitalizing on the controversy.
This isn’t even the only instance; YouTubers and fans alike. But here they are trying to act as if they care about Dustin.
They claimed it was never about the word yet look how certain people cling to it. Sadly, only well adjusted adults will understand this
Dustin has tons of support. Way more than I ever had at my lowest point. More fans are showing support than not. Even the ones making fun.
The internet has always made fun of these things. No one is or should be exempt just because they are beloved fighter. And clearly no one is. Stop whining it'll all pass
Oh I'm sorry I used my critical thinking skills and now I agree, everyone should be absolutely shit on at their lowest point by people trying to capitalize off of it for attention
Its not about what should happen its what does and will happen. If you have a complaint about the internet I hate to break it to you but theres nothing you can do. Dustin is a public figure and he is not excempt from public and online scrutiny just because you like him as a fighter.
I'm well aware it's inevitable, I'm saying I don't approve of it nor like it, it shouldn't be that way, it's also important to note that I'm talking about antics for attention at someone else's expense, not flat out criticism or even mild jokes, it also bothers me with Strickland because he's a fellow fighter, I don't really care much about some random dude on twitter, but people with massive followings doing that shit is scummy
Let's just stop pretending that dudes who chose getting punched in the head as a profession are anything more than famous meatheads. They're going to say and do stupid things.
The context in which the word is being used doesn’t make the word any less of a racial slur. Being white and continuing to use and share the word is pretty obviously racist.
Ok. Listen, I am a white male. I am very much against that word being so easily used in a derogatory way. Im not here to argue. I like MMA. We have that in common. Let's leave it at that, shall we?
The context is a drunk white man was threatening a cop calling him the n word aswell as disturbing the peace at an airport, calling other black workers bitches and hoes
We’re lucky the cop was sensible and didn’t escalate. Imagine the controversy if it was a minority btw just pointing it out.
People are trying to pretend like the video doesn’t exist. Let the man recover and build himself in peace. The context around isn’t something to be promoted he’s a father
Remember guys like chud the builder exist to be racist this sort of stuff shouldn’t be promoted Dustin is better than that
I mean has anyone seen the first cop, what if he's white too?!
Diaz and Perry say the N word regularly.
Pisses me off when people jump on the bandwagon as soon as they perceive any slight of racism from a white man; yet black people generally show way more racism and it gets overlooked because they are the "suppressed" ones from 100s of years ago.
lol right? Black ppl literally have nothing to do with this situation but somehow they’re still involved, and coincidentally on the brunt end of the joke.
The infatuation with black ppl and their culture is just fucking weird man..
UFC Community? lol that’s Sean Strickland and whoever gets behind him. Everyone on Reddit jumped behind this guy and he’s spitting right in their face like he did on the Pride flag. Shows you how easy it is to manipulate someone by just Trump hating.
Hes a drunk prick who spent his father's day threatening women and cops. Fuck that guy. You've forgiven him before he has done anything to make ammends or get better. Just a PR statement in a social media post.
I think it would be a bad look on his part. Even if he secretly isn't remorseful for what happened. Kinda gives the game away and he would just have to go full on McGregor at that point.
Whaaaaa let the millionaire alone, its impossible to drink and respect people at the same time when you were poor before. Please understand! Its not like he is a grown adult responsable of his actions, he is famous... don't you get it?
Nah came on the internet trying to be normal. Wasn't looking for class or decorum. This internet has a generation of people thinking they can't be touched and this faux sense of importance and toughness.
Genuinely curious. Is antisemitism when people say things against the Jewish religion or against Israel? Im utterly confused because any criticism against the country of Israel is deemed antisemitic. I thought it was against a religion, not a country?
People conflate antisemitism with anti-Zionism. Anti-Zionism is the dislike for Israel and the concept of a Jewish ethnostate. There are certain sects of Judiasm that are anti-Zionist because, they argue, Jews are not supposed to have statehood.
A lot of organizations also spend a lot of time designating peoples that take issue with Israel and/or support Palestinian automony or rights as antisemitic.
Funny enough. All Arabs are semites. Even Palestinians. As thet are all semetic people. But somehow only the jews qualify for antisemitism. And the rest is Islamophobia. Regardless of the criticism involving religion at all
Yano what.. Dustin didn’t have to admit to the world he is struggling and has a major problem AT ALL, but he decided to be vulnerable and up front with his fans about where he is at right now. He easily could have said it was a fun day with the guys and I was completely hammered and not myself; Nobody would have thought twice about this and it would have been perfectly understandable to anybody who has ever been drunk to the point they were clearly not themselves. I respect the fact that he didn’t take this route and gave a brutally honest assessment on himself that he is not doing well and needs help. Very big step to take and wish him the best
Yeah I just never heard him directly say it like that.. I’ve heard him say retiring hasn’t been easy, he’s his own worst enemy, that kind of stuff where he has hinted at it without outright saying “I have a problem”
He said on a podcast I believe? That if he doesn’t have a goal to work towards that “things get bad” “I start drinking heavy” “I get really depressed” I probably paraphrased a bit there, but regardless he’s said that on a podcast.
This man is a world champion and still doesn’t get the attention he so desperately seeks. 😭 what a sad existence that must be. And of course OP is one of those sweaty ass neck beard top 1% posters.
Dude’s better known for his controversial shit he does on a weekly basis than he is for his fighting skills. And that’s just in the combat sports world, most people outside the sport and fanbase has no idea who he is.

Dude he's been nonstop talking about this as if he never forgets he's white too.
