You may not care, s_r, but for pro sports to mean anything at all, they must stay relevant to pop culture topics. I actually commend Carmouche and UFC for coming out about this (like Culliver should have been, that's me repping SF for ya.) If anything, my main criticism of the MMA community on the whole is that they exist in a vacuum. They've literally caged themselves in by their own macho stereotypes. UFC is trying to shift that, not only with this fight, but with things like Here Comes the Boom. It's a smart move because it gives the sport more growth opportunity.
Honestly, I don't care about any athelets opinion on anything outside their sport.
I don't care about a doctors opinion on aircraft mechanics.
I don't care about an engineers opinion on planters warts.
I don't care about a porn stars view on global climate change.
I don't care about an African bushman's view on North Korean heritage issues.

Being some sort of expert on ONE thing gives you NO credentials to comment on something totally unrelated.

Seriously, if i hear one more story about the sexual orientation of someone that just happens to be famous or was famous at one point int time, I think I'll Dim Mak the first ****sexual I see !!
Or Heterosexual !!!
Not that there's anything wrong with it !!
