Radtke shocked everyone when he launched into a profanity-laden tirade that also included homophobic slurs. Holding the microphone, Radtke said, “F*** all you f****** up in the f****** crowd, come down here and get some, you p**** ass b******. F*** you!”

UFC’s response towards fighters making controversial statements

As of now, the UFC has not issued an official statement regarding the incident. However, fans of the sport may recall a similar case in 2013 when Nate Diaz was fined $20,000 and suspended for 90 days for using similar language on Twitter.

Under the UFC’s code of conduct policy for its athletes, the promotion can take disciplinary action against fighters for anything that might be considered defamatory or harmful to the promotion’s reputation. This policy aligns with the rules implemented by other major sports leagues such as the NFL, MLB, and the NBA.
