Donald Cerrone apologizes for ‘offensive’ homophobic slur

Donald Cerrone has issued an apology on social media for a homophobic slur he uttered Sunday.

At a Q&A during the UFC Fan Expo in Las Vegas, "Cowboy" said Daniel Cormier fought "like a f*g" against Anderson Silva at UFC 200 on Saturday night. It was a reference to Cormier's conservative, wrestling-heavy strategy.

"Earlier today, I said something that was offensive & I'm truly sorry," Cerrone wrote on Instagram. "I've got so many friends and fans in the LGBTQ community who I let down today. I can and will be better because I respect the community and equality matters!
