Fabricio Werdum releases statement regarding homophobic slurs toward Tony Ferguson at UFC lunch

In a tweet sent out Friday, Werdum said he was “apologetic” if he offended anyone in the LGBT community by calling Tony Ferguson the Spanish word for “f****t” multiple times during a UFC media lunch Thursday afternoon in Los Angeles.

Maricon is common word in the Spanish culture and I do not mean to offend anyone in the LBG community and if I did I'm apologetic #heeyy
