Touching on a range of potential insults, from crude comments about his wife to racist language, Johnson explained that while he is confident in his ability to beat a random aggressor due to his resume as a professional fighter, he for some reason does not feel compelled to ignore any negative consequences that might come about as a result of engaging in a public fight as a black professional martial artist, as if his entire self-worth isn't tied up in his talent for combat. As the world's premier mixed martial arts news site, with a staff who has watched the sport as far back as its early return early in the 2020 COVID pandemic when there were no other sports for us to watch, we have one thing to say to Mr. Johnson: you better shape up if you ever want to move out of the minor leagues and try your hand in the UFC. | | | |
