In the wake of UFC heavyweight Matt Mitrione’s suspension for comments about transgender fighter Fallon Fox, the UFC has made their Fighter Code of Conduct public. Mitrione was suspended after calling Fox “a lying, sick, sociopathic, disgusting freak” and attacking the fighter’s character in other ways and we now know what terms of his contract were violated.

Here is an excerpt from the code of conduct:

Derogatory or offensive conduct, including without limitation insulting language, symbols, or actions about a person’s ethnic background, heritage, color, race, national origin, age, religion, disability, gender or sexual orientation.

Inappropriate physical, verbal and online behavior (such as inappropriate statements made via email, text messaging or social networks)

Conduct that undermines or puts at risk the organization or promotion of a UFC event, including without limitation, failure to deliver, engage in or otherwise execute any and all promotional responsibilities, or failure to return in a timely manner the accurate and complete documents, or information for immigration, licensing, medical, tax or athletic commission purposes.

Conduct that undermines or puts at risk the integrity and reputation of the UFC.

Mitrione crossed the line when he made it less about Fox fighting women and more about assassinating her character. As soon as he went off and personally attacked her, his suspension had to happen according to the code of conduct.

Hopefully fighters will use this as a learning lesson and won’t speak before thinking in the past.
