The UFC is putting its foot down regarding offensive comments written by a gym employee about women’s champion Cris Cyborg.

In a statement released Tuesday, the UFC said it would not be allowing JacksonWink MMA social media staffer and photographer Mark Aragon access to future events after he referred to Cyborg as a man multiple times in a social media post.

“UFC does not condone or tolerate the remarks that were used. The organization has reached out to the JacksonWink team to inform them that the individual in question will not be granted access for future events.”

Jackson/Wink sounds classier every time they are in the news.

Dude's apology/justification was ridiculous, too. Hey Chubs, Holly doesn't need you white knighting her. I'm sure she's heard worse in a career spent in fight gyms.

I hate Cyborg, but this makes me happy. What a turb/bully this former cop is. He apparently thought he could bully her, then use the "he started" it defense when his first unpology failed to land. What an idiot.

Under Zuffa I think he might have gotten a pass, WME are a different and will be concerned about getting caught up in negative 'ism, 'ist or 'phobic press.

Especially being around Jon Jones. I bet he was always trying to fuck her.
