    Torres cut by UFC for inappropriate Twitter post

    UFC fighters Forrest Griffin, Rashad Evans and Miguel Torres have each made inappropriate comments about rape in the last few months. Griffin and Evans stayed employed; Torres was fired last night by the UFC.

    UFC President Dana White explained the decision in an exclusive interview with MMA Fighting's Ariel Helwani last night explaining in part that Griffin's and Evans' comments were immediately met with contrition appropriate for their comments. White also explained the Griffin met with rape crisis professionals to explain the error of his comments.

    Torres' apparently didn't meet White's baseline for forgiveness, resulting in the bantamweight and former WEC champion's expulsion from the largest fight promotion in the world.

    White went on to tell Helwani that no action would be taken against Evans.
