5 hard-hitting opinions by UFC stars on Roe v. Wade getting overturned

#2 Aljamain Sterling

Current bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling is fresh off a hard-fought win over divisional rival Petyr Yan. Their previous outing ended in disaster, with the 'Funk Master' claiming the bantamweight title via disqualification after Yan struck him with an illegal knee while he was grounded.

In becoming the first UFC fighter to win a championship due to disqualification, Sterling was ridiculed. Yan, on the other hand, was widely regarded as the true champion of the division given how convincingly he'd been besting his foe prior to the illegal knee.

Before their long-awaited rematch, the 'Funk Master' endured an onslaught of online ridicule, especially over his decision to delay the 2nd bout in order to have crucial neck surgery. Since defeating Yan in their rematch, though, Sterling has been enjoying the fruits of his labor.

However, when Linda McMahon tweeted her support for the Supreme Court's ruling, the current bantamweight champion immediately responded to her claims.

He described her thinking as ignorant while mentioning the privilege McMahon enjoyed, having never experienced any of the situations Roe v. Wade helped protect women from.

#1 Israel Adesanya

While 'The Last Stylebender' is days away from defending the UFC middleweight championship against Jared Cannonier at UFC 276, he has not dulled his outspoken nature in favor of focusing purely on his upcoming bout.

Adesanya has always made frequent use of Twitter to express his views and thoughts, whether they are on world issues or less serious topics.

In a tweet designed to mock the logic behind the Supreme Court's ruling, Israel Adesanya comically called for a ban on condoms to accompany the cancelation of Roe v. Wade. He was implying that the reigning middleweight champion regards banning condoms as ludicrous as removing a woman's right to an abortion.
