Ultimate Fighting’s president posts online video with anti-gay slur, then apologizes

”I hurt people that I didn’t intend to hurt and when you do something like that, yes, I believe that you should say you’re sorry. I never intended to hurt anybody in the gay community, or be malicious, or look like a hateful guy. I never meant to hurt anyone in the gay or lesbian community at all, in any way, shape or form.
