The UFC has addressed Fabricio Werdum’s homophobic outburst during a media lunch Thursday.
In a statement Friday, the UFC wrote that it is “disappointed” by Werdum’s comments and Werdum has agreed to do outreach in the LGBTQ community. The full statement is as follows:
The UFC organization is disappointed with recent comments made by Fabricio Werdum at a promotional event in Los Angeles. The nature and implication of his comments do not reflect UFC’s views and will not be tolerated, no matter the manner in which they are used.
We acknowledge and appreciate that Fabricio has since apologized to the organization and to anyone he may have offended with his words.
