It\u2019s his job, if we get offended by the uncomfortable questions fighter or promoter then it ain\u2019t for you. Dana talks a lot about masculinity and tough men etc\u2026 but someone\u2019s asks him a question he doesn\u2019t like and you can see he gets all in his feelings, that\u2019s not so tough from where I am standing to be honest.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs I\u2019ve said repeatedly I have utmost respect for Dana and for what he does.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut getting annoyed or saying who gives a s*** when someone asks him a slightly uncomfortable question is f***ing gay as f***.
