UFC president offends mental health activists, women, and gay right advocates in 2 minutes

Normal disclaimer: I'm a huge MMA fan and have been for about a decade now. That said, things like this are not going to help legitimize the sport with skeptics.

"The rant was centered around a Sherdog.com article which White believed incorrectly told of his group's credentialing policies for the agents and managers of fighters. He called the Sherdog.com writer, Loretta Hunt, a "dumb bitch" among expletives, and termed the report "an absolutely retarded story."

In Hunt's story, she wrote that Zuffa, the company that owns and operates promotions for the UFC and WEC, notified some fighter representatives that they will no longer receive credentials to sit with their clients backstage on fight night.

White used an anti-gay slur when referring to an anonymous source in Hunt's story on Sherdog.com, which is a partner of ESPN.com in the coverage of Mixed Martial Arts."

1. Was he "playing a character" or is he really THAT much of a douchebag? n/t

2. Dana White is in love with F-bombs and has a pretty famous temper

Supposedly he's making an apology to GLAAD on his video blog shortly (I don't think his initial follow-up counted as the official apology--he said he supports GLAAD initiatives, didn't mean the words in a group demeaning way, etc.).
