Summary
Thursday's apology from Jennifer Mir said Alex Apodaca "earned that win fair and square" after Mir's post-fight social media attacks followed Bella Mir's unanimous-decision loss on DWCS 89.
Jennifer Mir said she lashed out after seeing comments telling Bella to die or kill herself, adding that alcohol and adrenaline fueled remarks she called entirely her own.
The backlash centered on posts accusing Apodaca of a lucky win and biased judging after Bella Mir entered Tuesday's bout as a historic -6000 favorite widely expected to secure a UFC contract.
Jennifer Mir said she is stepping back from social media and asked critics to target her, not Bella, as the fighter said she would learn from the first MMA loss of her career.
