UFC welterweight Jacob Volkmann is still feeling the aftermath of his Obama comments following UFC 125. Volkmann expressed his displeasure with some of the Presidents policies saying that he’d even fight him.
Volkmann has had to deal with a visit from the Secret Service, numerous negative emails and phone calls. Now he’s been put on paid administrative leave from his job as an assistant head coach of the White Bear Lake High School wrestling program.
“They put me on administrative leave they called it,” Volkmann told MMAWeekly.com on Wednesday. “They said I was representing the school in a bad way, and during the interview I mentioned the President is an idiot. They were a little upset about that.
“They’re actually reviewing it and they’ve got a case on it. They’re doing a report on it. No timeframe, she said she was going to give me a call, she had to talk to the superintedent first and she had to talk to the school board.”
