AJ is a straight up dummy. How in hell could he think that was a cool thing to post under any circumstances, let alone given his known history against women. I just don't get it.

[–]ceslek 11ポイント12ポイント  (0子コメント)

dummy

Or "goof", if you will.

    Just got my "Rumble" t shirt yesterday. Guess I'm gonna put it on and patrol gyms from now on.

    [–]notimefornameYoel Romero's homophobic English teacher 23ポイント24ポイント  (5子コメント)

    "Excuse me, ma'am your yoga mat appears to be in close proximity of the lifting areas, please relocate or I will be forced to throw it and then call you a cunt on facebook"

    EDIT: Don't get me wrong I wasn't there maybe she was a cunt, but let's be honest raging at a woman on facebook as an mma fighter with DV charges is not the best thing to do.

    [–]Extender_Myths 79ポイント80ポイント  (26子コメント)

    Rumble is so fucking stupid. He could have just not made the dumb facebook post.

    I bet he gets off but is told anything else like this will result in him getting cut.

    [–]RikiSanchez 16ポイント17ポイント  (5子コメント)

    If it was a regular dude, UFC wouldn't bat an eye. But the guy with an history of women abuse and who disrespected other fighters by not showing up on weight? He might get cut AGAIN.

    [–]thestraylightpunUnited States 12ポイント13ポイント  (3子コメント)

    Well every time he missed at 170 was when he took fights on short notice, to be fair.

    [–]KrakatauGreen 5ポイント6ポイント  (2子コメント)

    What kinda fucking coaching team would let that guy drop to 170 on short notice?????

    [–]nnDMT420 6ポイント7ポイント  (0子コメント)

    He signs the dotted line. Rumble don't need no permission for nothing.

    [–]Extender_Myths 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

    Not to mention he then moved up to 186 and missed weight by fucking 11lb!

    [–]Extender_Myths -3ポイント-2ポイント  (0子コメント)

    Yeah if he has a lousy fight in 191 I would not be surprised if he got cut now.

    [–]biggerthanjesus 31ポイント32ポイント  (10子コメント)

    gets off

    Gets off with what? Some fatty got in his way in the gym and he called her out on it. So fucking what, the guy is a clearly a gym beast, and she was some noob doing stretches in the weight area.

    Of course nothing will come of it, but fuck the UFC for pretending to be all caring and pandering to these politically correct cunts that care.

    [–]THE_IRL_JESUSCote d'Ivoire 17ポイント18ポイント  (1子コメント)

    Stretching and getting in people way in the weights area is a huge douche move (you don't need to be a gym expert at all to know this it's common sense/decency). That being said, Rumble's reaction was not mature at all and he really should not be getting angry at woman particularly with his background.

    [–]slapmasterslap 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

    Yeah, this was my point in the first thread about this topic. It sounds like she was ignoring all gym etiquette and getting in the way but nobody was going to make her move and start anything, rather they were just working around her. It then sounds like she took issue with Rumble and others lifting too close to her and got upset with them and that is when Rumble snapped and went too far by throwing her shit everywhere. He shouldn't have done that, but it's not like he socked the girl he just hurt her feelings and probably scared the shit out of her. Where he really goofed up is continuing to insult her and kind of threaten her. If he'd been thinking straight and felt it was truly necessary to get out ahead of this "scandal" he should have just left out all the immature insults and threats and just said:

    "Hey lady, don't get mad at me when I'm lifting weights in the weight lifting area and you think it's too close to your yoga mat and stretching, which you shouldn't be doing in that area anyway. I'm sorry I had to throw your yoga mat to get that message across.

    Sincerely, Anthony "Fuck You" Johnson"

    I literally do not understand how people can be so dense and sanctimonious as to not understand the situation like u/biggerthanjesus said, and also downvote both of you too. I know this is reddit and all, but it's like 99% of r/MMA incessantly acts more and more like leftist PC worshipping holier-than-thou hippies over the tinniest of things that happen in MMA. Shit's super annoying.

    [–]dFluxxUnited Kingdom 9ポイント10ポイント  (0子コメント)

    People would and frankly should be downvoting posts such as "This" "yup" "DING DING muh BINGO"; they add fuck all to discussions.

    [–]CleanShirt27 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

    You're a boneheaded idiot if you think Rumbles reaction was reasonable for the situation. Sure, people that get upset and complain about every little thing are annoying, but guys like yourself and others posting in this thread about "political correctness" and the woman being a "stupid fat cunt" come across as horrible human beings. I hope you are just immature teenagers, because if you're adults its rather worrying.

    His post is a non issue at best, especially when the head of the org is on twitter shitting all over his fans.

    [–]DaBakeEverybody underestimates the kick to the groin 6ポイント7ポイント  (4子コメント)

    What does a "third-party law firm" mean? I've never heard that term used before. I'm guessing they mean to say it's not in-house counsel but it's such an awkward way to put it. Almost like they're trying to say it's independent without mentioning the fact that they clearly aren't since the UFC is paying them.

    [–]AcidicJuices 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

    Why pay your fighters more when you can hire law firm to investigate meaningless shit.

    [–]dlclingUnited States 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

    unbiased results. hiring a law guy that is part of the company would raise some questions.

    [–]GoldieMMA 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

    It's very common practice to hire law-firms to serve as third-party neutrals in arbitration, mediation and decision making. UFC may have ADR (alternative dispute resolution) in their contracts for cases like this.

    UFC paying for the process does not make the law firms partisan. ADR is huge business and UFC can't possibly pay for respected law firms enough to break their contract and rules of professional conduct and risk getting disbarment for shit like this.

    [–]and303United States 14ポイント15ポイント  (1子コメント)

    At least they're attempting to hold a precedent. If you strip one fighter of a title for things he did outside of the sport, you better "investigate" a raged up rant admitting taking/throwing someone's property after 3 different arrests for domestic abuse.

    [–]kizzzzurtUnited States 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

    Property

    Oh you mean her piece of foam?

    [–]BruhMan_ 100ポイント101ポイント  (42子コメント)

    What is there to investigate? He didn't hit her...

    brb can't even get in a disagreement with a dumb bitch in 2015 or else the internet condemns you and gets out the pitchforks

    [–]LoCHiF 42ポイント43ポイント  (0子コメント)

    He says:

    I’ll snatch the mat from under you AGAIN

    He didn't hit her, he literally tore the rug from under her. And this is his side of the story, not hers which may involve more than this.

    [–]Lynch47 102ポイント103ポイント  (4子コメント)

    When you're a pro athlete with a history of beating women? Yea, it's probably gonna come out, especially when he's the one that brought it to light. No one is to blame but Johnson. If he didn't post on Facebook, it probably would've never come out.

    [–]LiquidSparkUnited States 14ポイント15ポイント  (3子コメント)

    I don't think it's a big deal but I do think he is all kids of stupid for making a facebook post about it. Should have just kept his mouth shut.

    [–]ogg33I'm a Do Nothin' Betche 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

    Or you know, not acted like an unstable rageaholic and got a member of the gym staff to do something about it. Like a functioning adult.

    [–]mleegart 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

    Yeah this matches my view on things perfectly. If he hadn't have said anything this would most likely be a non-issue even if this woman did tweet or post this story on facebook. It would have been a 'his word vs hers' situation but he just blew it out of the fucking water straight away!

    [–]udar55 8ポイント9ポイント  (0子コメント)

    Somebody missed HBO's recent bad light segment on MMA/UFC fighters being woman abusers that featured many references to Johnson.

    [–]jubjubcat 15ポイント16ポイント  (17子コメント)

    Dumb bitch

    Well i'm sure you have a unbiased and fair viewpoint on this situation.

    [–]geeteaUruguay 13ポイント14ポイント  (16子コメント)

    If she was indeed using the yoga mat next to heavy weights then yeah she's pretty fucking dumb. Gym workers are even dumber.

    [–]Gankbanger 9ポイント10ポイント  (4子コメント)

    can't even get in a disagreement with a dumb bitch

    I can understand if this would have been only a shouting contest, but he pulled the mat from under her. That is more than a disagreement, doesn't that qualify as assault?

    [–]ahmedunltd 4ポイント5ポイント  (3子コメント)

    Battery, yes. Assault is the threat of bodily harm that reasonably causes fear of harm in a victim. Battery is actual physical impact. Sorry, law student, fuck me.

    [–]Gankbanger 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

    Battery

    Even worse.

    [–]RockFourFourUnited States -2ポイント-1ポイント  (0子コメント)

    An emotionally charged situation.

    [–]iammakingitup 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

    There actually was assault in the form of intended battery (there are two forms of assault, threat and intended battery). There was also battery when he "touched" her (pulled the mat). However, he can only be charged for one crime under the principle of merger; assault merges into battery.

    [–]HeidiSliman 0ポイント1ポイント  (2子コメント)

    Pro fighters should be held to higher standards. Especially ones with a history of violence

    [–]ProjectTombstone 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

    No they should be held to the same standard every other person is.

    [–]ogg33I'm a Do Nothin' Betche 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

    My guess is he could have made some threats. Don't see why else they'd have to investigate.

    Guys. He threw a fuckin yoga mat. I think its gonna be okay.

    Had he done JUST that and not posted all that nonsense on social media, we wouldn't be here right now.

    [–]jspeights 4ポイント5ポイント  (5子コメント)

    This is re-fucking-diculous here you have Dana White calling Fat kids "one direction (haircut)" and people idiots, Morons etc but AJ bucks on some chick for being stupid and he is under investigation!!?
    You've got to be kidding me.

    [–]dialmformostyn 2ポイント3ポイント  (4子コメント)

    That is a good point. Not defending AJ's actions, but the UFC can't expect any "investigations" into relatively minor things like this even vaguely seriously when DW is calling people fat, etc, on Twitter.

    [–]Gankbanger 0ポイント1ポイント  (3子コメント)

    There is a big difference between insulting people over the internet and actually assaulting them.

    [–]jspeights 0ポイント1ポイント  (2子コメント)

    Did he actually assault someone or someones yoga mat?

    [–]Gankbanger -1ポイント0ポイント  (0子コメント)

    He pulled the mat from under her. His own words. And he threaten to do it again. I am pretty sure that is at least assault. A law student in this thread even says that qualifies for battery. So yes, he did assault someone.

    [–]Keith11Ireland 10ポイント11ポイント  (7子コメント)

    He told some ignorant lump to fuck off, what's wrong with that!? Investigation my hole!

    [–]MongoAbides 14ポイント15ポイント  (3子コメント)

    Well he did claim to yank the yoga mat out from under her, that's not a good look.

    [–]kizzzzurtUnited States -4ポイント-3ポイント  (2子コメント)

    What are you all thinking? That the lady did a front flip and broke 2 ribs because of the force he pulled it out from underneath her? Come on guys she's a human, not a piece of china getting the cloth pulled from out underneath it, holy fuck.

    [–]Gankbanger 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

    So if some dude did that to your girlfriend at the gym you would be cool with that. You'd tell that bitch to zip it if she felt so humiliated she started crying. Right?

    [–]kizzzzurtUnited States -2ポイント-1ポイント  (0子コメント)

    My wife wouldn't be in a gym doing yoga by hulked out dudes throwing a lot of weight around, because she's not a fuckin' idiot. She would be in the designated area and everyone would be happy and ezpz lemon-squeezy. I don't agree with his actions, but lets not assume that he raped her in the showers or something after knocking out everybody else in the room before doing it.

    [–]BeastmanBob 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

    How long have you been on this planet? You really just assume you know all the details? That maaaybe the UFC knows something about the incident outside Rumble's post...which happens to be the only information privy to you.

    [–]jimmorrisoninparisUnited States 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

    What? Is there more to the story... Kinda just sounds like he snapped a some girl who was stretching in the free weights area at the gym. I know given his checkered past it raises some red flags, but does a Facebook post really warrant an investigation?

    [–]B0h1c4 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

    I'm all for keeping guys in check when they do stupid shit like Jon Jones. But this is ridiculous.

    Was it a smart PR move by Rumble? No. But it's not like he assaulted someone or something. He had a quarrel with someone at his gym. Whoopty fucking doo.

    I don't think it warrants the UFC issuing a press release. ... Sure, take a look at the situation and make sure nothing illegal was done, but they could do that behind closed doors. Don't make a public issue out of nothing.

      Posting an overly aggressive rant talking about how you may or may not have assaulted a woman looks really bad if you're a convicted domestic abuser.

      [–]NDubbaYa 19ポイント20ポイント  (1子コメント)

      if fighters are independent contractors and not employees, are they even legally able to be subjugated to a "code of conduct" outside of the ring?

      Presumably if it's a part of the contract they agreed to. Especially considering you never really stop representing the brand just because you aren't in the cage at the time.
