Boxing's Bob Arum Says UFC Fans Are Skinheads, Fighters "Like Homosexuals"

Bob Arum, one of the most well known promoters in the boxing world, did his best in a recent interview with AOL Fanhouse's Ariel Helwani to characterize MMA, and UFC in particular, fans and fighters, as the worst common denomanator in combat sports.

"UFC fans are a bunch of skinhead white guys who are watching a bunch of people in the ring who also look like skinhead white guys," said Arum. "For me and people like me, it's not something they ever care to see... guys rolling around like homosexuals on the ground. It is not a sport that shows great, great talent. The guys who throw punches can't throw a punch to save their ass. When the punches land, the guys have no chins.

"(The Fertittas and Dana White) have done a marvelous job promoting UFC, but for me it's junk, it's garbage."

(Below is the video interview that Helwani conducted. The UFC comments begin about 4:10 into the interview.)
