UFC President Dana White’s Response To Racial Remarks Censored As “Hate Speech”

At UFC 290 on Saturday, Dricus Du Plessis defeated Robert Whittaker in the middleweight division. Israel Adesanya then approached Du Plessis inside the Octagon to discuss a potential championship match. The middleweight champion from Nigeria used several N-words during his fight with his potential challenger, and UFC President Dana White was questioned about the “racial undertones” between Du Plessis and Adesanya in the post-fight press conference.

UFC President Dana White’s Response To Racial Remarks Censored As “Hate Speech”

Adesanya took issue with du Plessis’ “Stillknocks” remarks because he believed they cast doubt on his heritage and identity. As a result, Adesanya assaulted du Plessis when he entered the cage, repeatedly using the n-word to refer to the South African.

Adesanya, a Black fighter from Nigeria, repeated used the n-word while dressing down his future opponent.

“Let’s go n—a. What’s up, bitch? Let’s go, n—a,” a mocking Adesanya said. “Yeah, my African brother.”

“I’m African, but I ain’t no brother of yours, son,” Du Plessis retorted.

Adesanya, who won the middleweight title by defeating Alex Pereira in April, continued taunting Du Plessis on Twitter after their encounter.

“If you ain’t my brother, you ain’t African!!” Adesanya wrote. “I will show you where you’re from, n—a”

Attempting to force the UFC president to respond to Israel Adesanya’s use of the N-word during a post-fight exchange with Dricus Du Plessis from South Africa, a reporter was burned by Dana White on Saturday night.

Given that the mainstream media loves to ask stupid questions, White was well prepared for what was to come.

Dana White responds to a reporter’s ‘Racism’ query. The reporter asked:

“I know you say, Hey, this is the fight business. People say nasty things, right? But the tension between those two and kind of the racial undertones and all those things, what were the racial undertones?”

“He’s black (Israel Adesanya). Who gives a s**t? I could care less. This is the fight business. Israel Adesanya can say whatever he wants to say. Who gives a s**t? Are people b***hing about it? Oh, of course they are. I got it, yeah, too f**king bad.”
