Yesterday Rashad Evans says this; "I guarantee you'll be the first one to take a shot," Evans said to Davis. "Guarantee. Because I'm going to put my hands on you worse than that dude did them other kids at Penn State." So far no punishment.

Not too long ago Forrest griffin tweeted "rape is the new missionary" and got no punishment.

Miguel makes a joke used in a tv show and gets fired. Guess it sucks to not be a UFC golden boy.

This.

Gee, who would have thought that the most powerful used car salesman in sports would protect his main event talent and cast off his interchangeable mid-carders at the slightest hint of trouble?

You're right. It's not surprising, but it is a shame. Torres is a very talented fighter, and I believe he should've gotten the W over mighty mouse.

Good news is the UFC is finally adding a flyweight division. I'm thinking Jo Benavidez is gonna take that belt and own it for a while.

What a crock of shiat.

You really need to reconsider this move, Dana.

There are enough Bantamweights for Dana to cut one to make a ridiculous example out of him.

The golden boys really are protected.

I clicked the link to see who was the guy that got the axe and was stunned to see Torres' name pop up. If anything, this only stands to reinforce my position that the UFC is nothing more than professional wrestling with real violence, where Dana White even shares the same disdain as Vince McMahon for "little guys".

I want my Cruiserweight division. o.o

I was coming here to discuss ASIP and you are all just talking about MMA.

Racist jokes, not fine.
Homophobic jokes, not fine.
Rape jokes? Go right ahead.

Ultimate fighting is the gayest thing I've ever seen on TV. That stuff is so homoerotic that I'm pretty sure most of its fans have something they are hiding from the rest of the world (the rest are already out of the closet)

That's why I watch that cage fighting stuff on television. At least in the UFC, they do acrobatic moves and shiat. All WWE proves is that real fights are boring.

If he would have said either a racist joke or a homophobic joke, those who are screaming "DONT FIRE HIM FOR MAKING A RAPE JOKE" would be screaming the exact reverse.

I guess I'm not following right.

Anyhow, here's this.

RAPE CHOKE (new window)

balloot: So let me get this straight - you run a sport that is literally banned in entire states because the point is to beat the living crap out of the other guy, and you ban a guy for quoting a TV show? Wow.

Yes.

paj: I have a feeling that it had something to do with this: Link (new window) (right side, 3rd item down) interview Dana White had on OTR earlier today where the host read out the relevant Torres tweet to him. If that link is geoblocked, here's a partial shiatty transcript of the exchange:

Host: "Miguel Torres..."

DW: "What'd he say? I haven't even seen this one."

Host: "If a rape van was called a surprise van, more women wouldn't mind going for rides in them, everyone likes surprises. - Offensive?

DW: *Shakes head* "Yeah, that's pretty bad."

Host: "Yeah, that's pretty bad."

DW: "So that one was yesterday?"

Host: "Yeah, yesterday, then he took it off and changed it pretty quickly."

There's a bit before that exchange about the UFC's social media policies and it goes on about the Davis/Rashad thing too.

These guys are quick.

I wish I could strike a tweet into the leg of the UFC and retract the kick as fast as this happens.

I'd be be the tweetiest tweet of all the tweetiest.

4NSpy: What about a Grapevan?

Waaaaaooooo MAGGOTS!

You are being obtuse.

It's now me.

not

ihatedumbpeople: dude...doesn't the UFC all but require these guys to maintain Twitter accounts? they show their twitter IDs at the beginning of fights. If you're going to mandate or highly promote it, you can't then censor it...especially when the guy was making an off color unoriginal joke...

Um, I take the opposite approach there. If it's a work-required account, they should be using it for work related communications. If he'd had a separate personal account and posted it to that, I could see it as something of a "big deal".

It's like if you signed up to a transformers erotic fanfic mailing list with your work email address.

And, this is why my company has a team that comes up with their Twitter and Facebook postings, crafting them to meet their company goals and it's frowned upon to have a social networking site. It's not banned, mind you, just frowned upon in case something we say on them that is attributed to the company's official position. I'll just put this out there: We were in close ties with Penn State and there was an unofficial gag order regarding anything Penn State in the office (that still stands). We have nothing to do with the sports programs, just the college.

I have NO PROBLEM with the request, and don't maintain any social networking pages. Funny thing, I've been much happier not updating them. Like this poor fool, what I may find funny could be construed as bad by my company. I don't think I'd be fired, but why chance it?

/social networking is the debil, Bobby!

Is this your first day on Fark? I have read plenty of threads where people have defended racist and homophobic jokes.

I'm of the opinion that, regardless of the subject matter, if it's funny "good job" if not "better luck next time."

Orgasmatron138: Here's the important question - with Miguel gone, who in the UFC has the best hair?
