I hadn't heard the term before, but when I heard it, I was a little surprised. Even as a female, I was not offended.
I don't know why anyone has to make such a big deal about it. It's a term for a move. Are we going to start bitching about the term "rear naked choke" as well?
If you're too sensitive for the words being used in this sport, you're too sensitive for the sport altogether. You're better off watching LMN.

Nothing gets more attention than a noob posting a comment done to death.

The problem is, IF he did say rape choke he should be fired. Plain and simple. This sport doesn't need that kind of "edge" to it. It's not funny. It's not an MMA term. It's absolutely in poor taste.
The UFC already has to overcome Dana's lack of public polish in selling the sport. The sport sells itself to the hardcore fan. As it explodes it needs to reach into new demographics. Rape choke reaches zero demographics. I work in this sport and this is not how I want to be represented.
But, if he did in fact say "rake" choke then, as Gildna Radner used to say on SNL ... "never mind."
What's the word out there? I'm playing catch up on this one.
you're a loser! rape choke...big deal!

I found his comment to be hilarious. Your offense to said comment is even funnier. Thank you. Thank you.
