Bernard Hopkins Displays Homophobic Resistance to MMA

Photo

Bernard Hopkins is weighing in on MMA and the consensus is, he's not down with those pantie wearing homoerotic wrestlers.

"Everybody is different but I don't want to watch two grown men wrestling with panties on. I'm from the hood, we don't play that. To me, I'm not buying a ticket to watch two grown men with panties on, sweating, with nuts in their face. That's not me. To compare that to boxing is ludicrous. It's a porno - it's an entertainment porno. I'm not wrestling a guy with panties on and his nuts in my face."

Hopkins is from the hood yo!

He doesn't want to see sweaty men hugging each other with pillows on their hands. Wait that's boxing.

That's whack yo.

Maybe watching “two grown men wrestling…with nuts in their face” reminds him too much of prison.

The old “nuts in the face” routine is what boxing backers resort to when they have no other material. It’s pure desperation.

Obviously he’s just saying he likes his sweaty nuts-in-the-face panty free.

Man, I’ve been a big fan of B-Hop for over ten years, since I started watching a ton of boxing in college. Hell, I was singing his praises before most combat sports fans knew who he was. To say this is disappointing is an understatement. Hopkins is a really intelligent guy and saying shit like this diminishes himself far more than it does MMA.

I hear ya

I think this is the classic “let’s bash MMA bc I feel threatened so I will bash it in the way that I feel is most damaging aka call it gay”
