In a shocking turn of events, a Twitter user known only as @MMAFanForever has sparked controversy in the MMA community by placing blame for Marvin Vettori’s defeat firmly on the state of California.
According to the tweet, which has since been deleted, Vettori’s lackluster performance at UFC Vegas 75 was a direct result of the state’s “overwhelmingly liberal and anti-masculine culture.” The tweet went on to claim that “real men” like Jared Cannonier are able to overcome such hurdles and succeed in the sport.
The tweet quickly drew outrage from fans and fighters alike, many of whom pointed out the absurdity of blaming an entire state for one athlete’s performance. Some even took to social media to mock the user’s apparent ignorance.
As for Cannonier, who broke the division’s significant strike record during his dominant victory, he remained unfazed by the controversy. In a post-fight interview, he credited his training and the support of his team for his impressive win.
“I didn’t even know about that tweet until after the fight,” Cannonier said. “All I know is that I came here to do my job, and that’s exactly what I did. California or no California.”
Despite the backlash, the debate over the impact of a state’s politics and culture on combat sports is sure to rage on. For now, though, it seems that Cannonier has proven that hard work and dedication will always be more important than political ideology.
