Despite Davis' decision to delete the Tweets in short order, the condemnation was swift and came from all corners. MMA Fighting's Ariel Helwani responded and Davis apologized:

Just read respected CBB journo @SethDavisHoops' take on MMA. Very disappointing, but not shocking. Many feel this way. Their loss. ...

@arielhelwani The tweets were stupid and careless and you are 100 pct right to call me out. Appreciate and respect your work & passion.

I checked out his twitter, and I think he feels genuinely sorry for his tweet. He had an short, but interesting exchange with Tim Kennedy as well.

*yawn*

This?

:laughing4:

Who cares what this guy thinks? Not MMA fans. We're too busy enjoying our show.

Another ignorant dude saying no sense.

"Homoerotic poses"!!
He should realize that those homoerotic poses are called wrestling/ Brazilian Jiu Jitsu/Judo/Sambo etc.
So with those comments he is not bashing UFC, he is bashing martial arts in general.
It is OK if he does not like that, but "Homoerotic poses"????
How a guy that is supposed to have at least a basic knowledge in sports can say stuff like that?

You can understand that coming from Bob Arum, because Bob Arum is simply a stupid moron and I feel sorry for him. It must be hard to live being such a retard.

However I do not know this guy so I will give him the benefit of the doubt and simply assume that he got drunk, watched some gay porn, and being still drunk, he made those tweets. If not, then he is another dummy talking out of his ass.

So this guy sees MMA and thinks it's homo erotic? Damn thats gay

One thing if NEVER got from MMA was it being Homoerotic OMG!!!!!!

What a dumbass. "Maybe I'm a prude on this but I'm also a Dad" - what the fuckity-fuck?

So much fail in only 11 words.

Somebody should put this tool in a "homoerotic pose" and demonstrate how non-sexual this is. Maybe a little RNC?

Balls on face triangle till he sees black.
