Editorial: Don’t mistake the UFC’s cowardice for bravery
Photo by Mike Roach/Zuffa LLC Dana White failed to act on “terrorist” commentIn a stunning example of using luck as a reason for inaction, UFC president Dana White said the UFC would not dole out any punishment to Oron Kahlon. Kahlon called his opponent Javid Basharat, who is originally from Afghanistan, a “terrorist” during their staredown for the most recent edition of the Dana White Contender Series.
Basharat defeated Kahlon via third-round submission. Somehow White used Basharat’s win to decide Kahlon had been punished enough for calling Basharat a “terrorist.”
