Watch: Yoel Romero’s Post Fight Rant About Gay Marriage: ‘Wake Up USA!’

 

 

After beating Lyoto Machida, Yoel Romero seemingly had a rant about gay marriage in the USA.:

 

“Wow. My friends, I want to say something. I’ll try English. Hey UFC. Hey Miami. Hey Florida. Listen people, listen!” Romero said while wearing a John 3:16 headband. “What happened to you, USA? What happened to you? What’s going on, you forget that the best in the best of the world, the name is Jesus Christ?”

“What happened to you?! Wake up USA! Go back. Go! Go for Jesus, no for gay Jesus!”

At the post fight press conference, Romero spoke in Spanish:

 

“First of all, I want to apologize if there was a misunderstanding,” Romero said through a translator. “First of all, I am a man of God, and God is love. My expressions are always going to be about love. What I was saying in the Octagon was to look for the American dream. There was a misunderstanding about gay marriage, and I want to say something.”

“God told Mary Magdalene, you’re a prostitute. Go, and don’t sin anymore. He told her with love. Who am I to judge anybody? Even though I didn’t refer to that, even if there was a misunderstanding, I will tell you guys something. God made man to be free. Anybody can do whatever they want. I wouldn’t be the type of person to critique anybody. I’ve got to look at myself first, to be a better person.”

I didn’t refer to anybody. What I was saying to the United States, was thank you for giving me the American dream. There’s no better country because it is blessed by god. It’s in the dollars, that this country is made by Christian people. That means it is blessed by god. Thank you USA.”
