Diana Belbiţă recently alleged that BKFC fighter Ruben Warr threatened to sexually assault her, taking to X/Twitter to broadcast her shock over his behavior, complete with screenshots of a conversation between him and her boyfriend, Cameron VanCamp. Unfortunately, she has also taken issue with the fans.

While the 115-pounder has found tremendous support, a section of the MMA fanbase regarded Warr's reprehensible behavior with humor, describing it as a joke. Naturally, Belbiţă did not take kindly to such a defense of Warr's actions on the fans' part, blasting them on X/Twitter.

"Unfortunately there are still people that can't understand that threatening to gang rape somebody is not a joke."

This drew a reaction from fans, many of whom recognized that making light of such a situation was indefensible. One fan referenced former UFC fighter Miguel Torres, who was released from the promotion for a rape joke before being reinstated, then subsequently released for a second time.

"Miguel Torres got kicked out of the UFC for a rape joke. Let's see if BKFC has a backbone"

Another suggested that Belbiţă file a police report against Warr for his claims.

"Can probably make a police report on him"

Others jokingly called for a punishment involving Warr taking on reigning UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira in a bare-knuckle Muay Thai fight.

"Yeah wtf that's wack. I've heard enough, put him against Pereira in BKFC but Muay Thai rules"

Some also took the opportunity to call out the fans who found Warr's words humorous.

"'It was just a funny joke please explain to me where the funny part was, I'll wait."

BKFC has yet to make an official comment on the situation, but the more attention the situation receives, the more difficult it will be for the promotion to remain silent.


Diana Belbiţă reached out to Sportskeeda herself to shed light on the story

Two days ago, Diana Belbiţă took to X/Twitter to express her desire to communicate her harrowing experience with Ruben Warr to Sportskeeda, determined to bring the matter to the attention of the MMA world.

"I sent an email to @sportskeedaMMA about this situation. They should make it public and hope @bareknucklefc can see it and take action. Being racist in 2024 and threatening to rape somebody is out of control."

Warr targeted her boyfriend in a trash-talking campaign before threatening them both. Her story has since been reported on Sportskeeda, and the ball is now in BKFC's court regarding which actions, if any, the promotion will take against their athlete.
