Electronic Arts has apologized to a Muslim UFC fighter after it came to light that his in-game EA Sports UFC 2 win celebration animation featured him gesturing the sign of the cross, a Christian tradition. When the fighter, Khabib Nurmagomedov, discovered this, he spoke up on Twitter and Instagram.
A video of Nurmagomedov performing the sign of the cross in EA Sports UFC 2 can be seen here.
On Twitter, he said, “I’m a MUSLIM and not Baptized. Please @EASPORTSUFC edit my after fight celebration. I have a lot of Muslim fans and you have to respect it.”
