WEC issues statement regarding Donald Cerrone's 'death wish' for Jamie Varner

but what Cerrone said was more than just shit talk, it was a real personal, and bigoted attack. He probably regrets it now, but saying someone is " a fag" who has " the bitch gene", as well as wishing death upon them, is way too unprofessional and something you’d hear from an idiot startin shit at a bar.

“I’m going to give him living death!”

lawmakers need to hear or want to hear. If we (mma community) want the public to shed the ‘blood sport’ persona and have the sport we love sanctioned in all states, then Cerrone and Mir need to keep these stupid comments out out of the public.

To the common person, death or major injury seems more than likely to happen in an MMA fight. I dabble in MMA (fought a few times, train, coach) and everytime someone in my office hears about a death in our sport or in boxing, they tell me about it with the attitude of “See I told you so” …

“I hope my emotions drive me. I fight better on emotion, ask Leonard, he trains me every day. When I’m hot and some new guy comes in the gym and wants to throw down, that’s when I do my best, you know. So, I hope my emotions take over and I just kill this dude. I hope this is the first death in MMA.”

DONALD CERRONE: “This is real, this isn’t like the WEC trying to get us to you know to amp it up, which I’m not. He’s really a fag. I mean, that’s what he is, you know, and his true colors will show up. You can’t hide your colors, man. They’re going to turn up and everyone’s going to see. He’s going to call timeout or he’s going to look for a way out, he’s got the bitch gene, man, and when you have a bitch gene it don’t matter what you do you can’t fight and you’re either born with it and that’s who you are as a person and you can’t fix that, you know, and it’s going to come out.”

Calling someone a fag because they act like a bitch doesnt make it okay. Plus its idiotic because it makes zero sense. Why not just call him a bitch if he acts like a bitch. I dont call my salad a cheeseburger because it tastes like a salad.

in the words of one Mirko Cro Cop

"Second, this sport is hard enough in itself without insulting each other. Third, many people around the world look at us as if we are some savages for fighting in the cage, some people look at it like this. They don’t consider MMA a sport and think they we are savages that want to take each others heads. I don’t want to add any fire to that, I want us to act normal because we are sportsmen and for me this is my job and there is really no need to say these kind of things. I think Frank Mir is doing the wrong thing, when he says to Lesnar that he wants him to die in the Octagon – what kind of sport is this he is promoting?!"

“Sean Sherk, your dead”!

for somebody who’s so composed and calm in the cage, i’m amazed at how much of a bad-mouther Cerrone is. Sure, Varner wimped out of that first fight, but Cerrone gave him the out. He should take responsibility for the illegal knee. Even if it barely touched Varner it was still illegal. I’m a huge Cerrone fan and i know he’s going to win this upcoming fight, but i’m a little let down by his immaturity. You can’t say stuff like that on the radio or television. it’s one thing to say stuff like that to your friends, but you need to show some restraint and discipline. it boggles my mind because the guy stays so calm in the ring.
