Watch: Former UFC Champ Andrei Arlovski on Using Gay Slur: I'm 'Deeply Sorry'

Former Ultimate Fighting Championship heavyweight champ Andrei Arolvoski is apologizing for using gay slur after a fight during an interview last weekend, MMA Mania reports.

When speaking with ESPN 4 Sunday, the athlete had a message to his haters which included a gay slur.

"Once again I will tell everyone shut your fucking mouths about my 'glass chin,' so go fuck yourself, faggots," Arolvoski said. "That's it. I proved to everyone you're fucking wrong."

But this week, he issued an apology for his language when speaking with the website MMA Junkie.

"I apologize to anyone I offended with my poor choice of words," Arlovski said. "I did not mean to offend any one group or person. I am deeply sorry and will not use these type of words in the future."
