Former two-time UFC title contender and current UFC Bantamweight contender John Dodson took to social media to issue an apology for comments he made about the passing of former WWE performer Joanie “Chyna” Laurer earlier this week.
Upon hearing the news of the death of Chyna, as well as music artist Prince, Dodson took to Twitter where he made the following comment:
“RIP Chyna and Prince. Two amazingly talented men.”
According to Dodson, however, it was a mere typo. Apparently he meant to write “two amazingly talented people,” otherwise the wording of his tweet would have to of been worded completely different.
You can check out Dodson’s original tweet, which he ended up deleting, as well as his apology below.
