Six days after boasting about making a “fat” woman cry at the gym and throwing her yoga mat across the facility because she was stretching where people were lifting weights, UFC light heavyweight Anthony Johnson has apologized and agreed to undergo counseling.
After catching wind of Johnson’s controversial Facebook rant, which he deleted shortly after publishing, the UFC hired an independent, third-party company to conduct an investigation on the incident.
“Following a thorough investigation by a third-party law firm, UFC is extremely disappointed with Anthony Johnson’s recent actions, as the organization does not tolerate behavior of this nature from any athletes under contract with the UFC,” The UFC expressed in Monday’s statement.
