Dana White, president of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), is urging any gay fighters to come out.
“I’ll tell you right now, if there was a gay fighter in UFC, I wish he would come out,” White said Thursday, USA Today reports. “I could care less if there’s a gay fighter in the UFC. There probably is and there’s probably more than one.”
White was responding to LGBT advocates and union activists who recently sent a letter to Anheuser-Busch, urging the company to end its sponsorship of UFC following reported incidences of antigay animus from athletes and executives.
