The fighters booed by the Florida crowd. What do they all have in common? Yet even most of MMA media mentioned little about the rampant racism and xenophobia heading into UFC 261. Wonder if they'll still try to gaslight us after what we saw and heard?

However, this guy gets cheered, along with her. Especially when fighting BIPOC, even BIPOC Americans.

This is not new in sports, this also happens to these sisters. The anti-Moscow, xenophobic pro-US sentiment completely disappears when they play against white women from Russia

But it's especially been bad in combat sports. This racist aggrandizing is called The Great White Hope. Something MMA media should be familiar with yet like boxing media of the past, they play into it

Racist America even looked to Nazi Germany for their white champion. Patriotism is only a useful tool as a disguise for white supremacy

That's why the cheered USA for her, posting US flag emojis and pictures, saying proud to be American, while booing her opponent.

Yet her teammate was booed by the same crowd.

If you say racism had nothing to do with UFC 261, including the narratives, statements, and coverage, then you're a liar and probably something worse than that.
