I don't have a dog in the fight between these two non-whites. However, I am no longer upset about any rape accusation these days - the tables have turned completely. Steveson had his charge dropped seven years ago, which was still prime #MeToo era. Although I'm sure there was degeneracy involved, .calling him a "rapist" seems pretty cheap and stupid.
I do appreciate the "freedom of speech" element in these pressers, though. Ex-wives, child abuse, religion, goat-fricking... it's all on the table. Meanwhile in global soccer, you get an automatic red card now for talking to an opponent with your mouth covered.
Dana White loves his black fighters and is clearly building up Steveson by feeding him tomato cans. I'm looking forward to Josh Hokit tuning him up someday down the road.
