Heath Herring DQ'd for puching homosexual

This will probably boost mma ratings with the hillbilly crowd and increase cries of "grappling is fagtastic".
Great, just what a supposedly serious sport needs.

Yeah smart play. Now he's got a loss and the other guy has a win.
What a stupid ****, just like anyone thinking he was in the right.

He mighta got a loss, but I bet his publicity is up.

I see an immense amount of humor from both sides.

Kissing the guy was a REALLY BIG "****-you." He might as well have jerked off in his direction. So, that's funny and the popcorn-munching audience member in me applauds.

But when you deliver a fuckoff gesture of that magnitude, the available grab-bag of responses are very limited, and I think that his brain short-circuited. But his response was definitely also amusing to watch, so the audience member in me applauds.

And the thing is, obviously, that seems like an overreaction. Maybe he should have slowly just brought both hands up and flipped the guy off. Or used the bully pulpit ;) in an appeal to the crowd, a "did you see what this fag just did to me" thing. But on the other hand, if you go out of your way to do something extraordinarily gay to another man who is a professional fighter, you certainly shouldn't act surprised or shocked that this happened. Probably one in three would react this way.

So, not surprised that it happened, and while the reaction was an overreaction worthy of DQing, the instigator should be fined. Sexual harassment, and also, ****, I'd think that a mouth-mouth kiss with the kind of std's out there should be worth a big fine just from a health standpoint.

Doesn't contradict the fact that his hair screams "I'm gay but I don't want anyone to know".

He didn't over react imo. The Japanese fighter made the first inappropiate contact. Herring just reacted.

What is with the UmaLumpa fag? If you think that Heath Herring is homosexual, than great.

Why are you bringing it up? Why would you even mention his homosexuality? He hit the guy because he didn't like being kissed by him, regardless of whether he is homosexual or not is besides the point.

He got the DQ, it was a mistake on his part, but I can guarantee a whole lot more people know who he is now and his fame went up.

Do you really think selling sex tapes is the best thing for "positive" image? No it isn't, but it gets you a lot more attention. I bet he will make some good money on this rematch considering they wanted to bring this Japanese fighter up as one of their stars.
