There's something seriously wrong with this guy. First he was let go by the UFC for turning down a fight against Brandon Wolff and publicly speculating about the death of former UFC middleweight champion Evan Tanner. Then he was let go by Bellator Fighting Championships after a blog post in which he endorsed a potential assassination of United States President Barack Obama. This guy makes every other fighter look like one of those old time aristocrats who wears a monocle and sips tea with one pinkie out.
