MMA.TV:

"Three weeks ago UFC bantamweight and former champion Miguel Torres was released after making an inappropriate comment on Twitter. The situation was made aware to Dana White during an on-camera interview who immediately responded that Torres was fired.

The news was a shock to the fans and media as Torres, a fan favorite and former champion, had been quoting a popular TV show and others in the UFC had made similar comments and not been released.

Today, UFC President Dana White told that media that Torres was back in the UFC, and had made positive steps showing remorse for his actions. The President's announcement was tweeted by Ariel Helwani:

Dana says Torres is back. Torres has donated money to local rape centers, visited them. Dana says Torres was very remorseful.

I really dont think Torres actually promotes or condones rape. He just made a dumb-ass comment about a very sensitive subject. The UFC fired Torres but didnt do anything to Evans or Griffin which is pretty lame. Glad he is back but I think all three guys should have been fined and/or suspended at the very least.
