Uriah Hall lashes out at “terrorist” UFC fans for delighting in Ronda Rousey’s defeat

Not the right time

MMA fighters are supposed to have good timing.

So we’re scratching our heads this morning trying to figure out why, in the wake of all that has happened in Paris over the last few days, Uriah Hall wouldn’t be a bit smarter with his words when criticising UFC fans.

Hall lost to Robert Whittaker at the weekend in Melbourne, but has now laid into some followers of the sport, who have danced with glee at the demise of headliner Ronda Rousey at the hands of Holly Holm.

That would normally be okay, if he hadn’t compared those fans to terrorists in an Instagram post last night.

In a lengthy post the middleweight clearly had a brain fart,

“It kills me how people true color shines how one woman change the face of this sport inspiring men women and kids to not only reach a dream but change the game @rondarousey is still a legend yes we all fall but some of you guys are no different from a terrorist smfh just remember at the end of the day all you have is words … Meanwhile she still has more money than you she’s still love by many and she still one of the best in the world.. Go ahead type away mother fuckers type away …”

He did later change the post to say ‘sh*t stains’ instead of terrorists before deleting the entire thing.

But the damage has been done.
