On the heels of a somewhat controversial interview Cerrone delivered on Tapout Radio last week in which the Greg Jackson-trained fighter called his opponent a fag and hoped he’d be the first death in MMA, both fighters were on their best behavior during a Monday conference call promoting their upcoming rematch at WEC 51 Aldo vs. Gamburyan on Sept. 30 at the 1st Bank Center in Broomfield, Colo
After Cerrone had apologized the next day via his Twitter account and the WEC posted it’s own message shortly afterward condemning the lightweight contender’s choice of words, only Varner had yet to comment on what had been said about him. On Tuesday, Varner let it all roll off his back.
I feel like I don’t need to get caught up in all the name-calling and all the bantering back and forth, said the former WEC lightweight champion. September 30, we get to go out there, we get to settle our differences and hopefully we walk out of the cage and the beef is squashed. Or, you know what? Maybe the animosity continues, but nevertheless, I’m not going to concern myself with it anymore.
