QUICK TWITT: Duke Roufus bars journalist from Anthony Pettis press conference
Recently Duke Roufus has caught backlash in the MMA community from former students, fighters who once trained under him, and former instructors for his training methods following the death of Dennis Munson Jr.
John Diedrich of the Milwaukee Sentinel wrote a very thorough article regarding Munson’s death, which has prompted Roufus to bar the journalist from a Q&A with UFC 181 co-headliner Anthony Pettis.
