Dana White OK with fighter’s bigoted ‘terrorist’ taunt at Afghan foe
According to UFC president Dana White, bigotry is an acceptable form of trash talk amongst fighters. At least that was his response to a situation that unfolded during Monday’s Contender Series weigh-ins.
After Israel’s Oron Kahlon and Afghanistan’s Javid Basharat stepped on the scale for Tuesday night’s fight – Kahlon missed by three pounds – the two men came together for a ceremonial faceoff in which Basharat declined his opponent’s handshake. With UFC matchmaker Sean Shelby between them, Kahlon was heard calling Basharat a “terrorist.”
Asked Tuesday if Kahlon’s bigoted remark might have gone too far, even by MMA trash talk standards, White was clear that he didn’t have a problem with it.
“No, not in this business I don’t (worry that it’s too far),” White told reporters at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. “If you look, you can add that to the pile of some pretty nasty things that have been said in this sport. And not just this sport – boxing, I’m sure muay Thai, kickboxing, you name it. Mean things are said.
“In this insanely politically correct world that we’re living in, this is one place that is not.”
Dana White says Oron Kahlon got his comeuppance for calling Javid Basharat a “terrorist.”

Basharat went on to dominate Kahlon for nearly all three rounds at Dana White’s Contender Series 45 before submitting him with a guillotine choke with 48 seconds remaining. The performance was good enough to earn undefeated Basharat (11-0) a UFC contract.
As far as White is concerned, what happened to Kahlon in the cage is comeuppance enough for the UFC to not take any action.
“Are we gonna do anything? It got done tonight,” White said. “You know what I mean? It’s the beautiful thing about this sport. I say it all the time: This is not a nice sport. This is a very rough sport. We say a lot of mean things to each other, you know, and justice gets served at the end of the day.
“Listen, when you have a situation like that, the best way to solve the problem is you fight, and you fight legally. You get paid legally, and that’s what happened tonight.”
Ex-Bears great on Aaron Rodgers ‘own you’ taunt: ‘I’d like to punch him in his face’
Former Chicago Bears great Olin Kreutz didn’t take too kindly to Aaron Rodgers screaming at fans he still “owns you” during the Green Bay Packers’ victory against their NFC North rival.
Rodgers said after the game he saw fans at Soldier Field flipping him the bird, and the “own you” comment just came out on a whim.
The former Bears center, who was an All-Pro and six-time Pro Bowler during his 14-year NFL career, offered some fighting words instead.

“I’d like to punch him in his face,” Kreutz said on 670 The Score. “When you see that, that’s your first reaction, right? I don’t care if you’re right. I don’t care what his excuse is, that just is your first reaction. To me, that’s a lame excuse. … Just because you’re right doesn’t make you right for doing it.”
Rodgers responded to the remarks on “The Pat McAfee Show.”

“Are we getting that soft as a society that we can’t have a back and forth now?” Rodgers asked. “Somebody can pay for a ticket and say whatever the hell they want, which I think they should be able to, that’s fine, but the one time you say something back to them, that gets caught on hot mic… now it’s that I’ve disrespected an entire city and organization and my own organization.”
Kreutz got a firsthand look at just how damaging Rodgers had been to the Bears. Kreutz was on the Bears from 2008 to 2010, just around the time Rodgers took over as the Packers’ starting quarter. He played four games for the New Orleans Saints.

Rodgers was 6-10 in his first season as a starter for the Packers. In 2009, the team would make the wild-card playoffs and in 2010 he would win his first and (so far) only Super Bowl title.
