White’s rant sends UFC down wrong path

Fox Sports' Alex Marvez says UFC president Dana White may wish his F-bomb laden verbal assault of a female reporter was just an April Fool's Day joke. Instead the three-minute diatribe was disturbingly real, White slurred women, homosexuals and the mentally disabled.

"In other pro sports leagues — the ones that White wants to have the UFC mentioned along with — these are the kinds of comments that would get a commissioner fired," Marvez pens. "I don't expect the promotion to take that step with White, who is a part-owner of UFC's parent company.

"UFC, though, should use some of the multimillions generated under White's watch to purchase a muzzle."
