“That’s the fighter I was going to watch and support. And I witnessed him lose a potential career ending fight, in a manner where the opponent was stalling and running away.”
“And I was upset, and I was whispering in his ear, and I was speaking on that. And I said what I said, and I meant no disrespect to nobody of any, the LGBT community. I didn’t mean no disrespect.”
“I campaigned when we were trying to get same sex marriage legalized. I was campaigning for that. Again, it’s another one where things get blown out. Any chance they get they love to throw me under the bus.”
