Retired MMA Veteran Nate Marquardt has stirred controversy on social media with homophobic commentary on his Twitter handle. In his Tweet, he appears to hate the idea of his children watching “two men kiss” in a commercial.

Unlike Hollywood stars, MMA fighters keep their personal lives and beliefs separate from the mainstream. We learn about a fighter’s belief system through social media interactions or during interviews. Marquardt revealed his strong Christian beliefs by quoting a line from The Bible to indicate the reason for talking cruelly about homosexuality. Fair to say, people have the right to express their opinions, but a line should never be crossed, especially when it is about a sensitive matter.

Marquardt retired with a record of 36–20–2. Having more than 50 fights in his MMA career is no easy task. Even the greatest fighters in MMA barely fight more than 30 times. Hence the longevity of Nate Marquardt is something to behold. He was also the former Strikeforce Welterweight Champion and was the first fighter to KO former UFC Welterweight Champion Tyron Woodley.

In his career, Marquardt always fought against the best fighters around. He fought Tyron Woodley, Demian Maia, Anderson Silva, Chael Sonnen, Vitor Belfort and many others. At UFC 73 in 2007, Marquardt challenged the legendary Anderson Silva for the UFC Middleweight Championship but was knocked out in the first round by the surging Silva.
