UFC vet supports Bang Ludwig, denies racist allegations

Former UFC and WEC fighter Anthony Njokuani has published a statement defending Duane Ludwig, who has been under fire following Urijah Faber's claims of racism, sexism, and bullying at Team Alpha Male.

While the UFC has an actual event coming up tomorrow in Japan, the most-talked about UFC-related feud has been between Urijah Faber and Duane Ludwig. On Monday's episode of The MMA Hour, Faber ripped into the former Team Alpha Male striking coach, detailing accusations of racism, sexism, bullying, and multiple instances of inappropriate behavior at the gym.

The claims have caused quite the stir throughout the week, with Ludwig responding by calling Faber "punchy" and (among other things) denied that he made black fighters uncomfortable with racial remarks.
