He's not going to get into any trouble with that. The UFC isn't anal about their image like the NBA or the NFL even. They have allowed fighters to get away with a lot more on public television.
Do you think Matt Mitrione is going to be in trouble for just saying "retard strength"? I dont think that was such a good idea for him since alot of people allready dont like him :confused02:
Terminator is correct, technically being blind/deaf makes you a retard. Retard in french means "late" or "held back" anyone with any disability may be referred as being "retarded". It's society that has bastardised the meaning of the word to having the connotations that the person is mentally deficient or stupid.
I'd prefer a medical definition rather than some loose interpretation of dictionary.com's definition of retarded.
I only say this because I made the mistake of referring to deafness as a retardation to friends in the medical community and I was served an earful as to why I was incorrect -- something along the lines of blindness and deafness being impairments, not retardations.
Also - Matt's comment about retard strength is associated with mentally retarded people having odd levels of physical strength, and blindness and deafness are definitely not mental retardations...
Matter of semantics, I suppose. Just don't tell someone in the medical field that a blind/deaf person is retarded...
