Ebola lands in D.C. and we can only hope a White House intern came into contact so as to deliver it to the belly of the beast.#NoFlyZone

 As expected, people outraged and responded back to Miletich, who responded back to some of the comments.

@patmiletich using that 1st amendment I see, Pat. That’s a pretty intellectually challenged thing to say.

The first case of Ebola in the United States was announced last Tuesday from a person who traveled from Liberia to Texas.  There were reports over the weekend in the Washington D.C. area of three potential cases, but they were all tested and the results were all negative. 

Miletich was the first UFC welterweight champion and was inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame in July. He is also an MMA broadcaster for AXS TV. Sporting News has reached out to AXS TV CEO Andrew Simon and owner Mark Cuban for comment. They haven’t responded back as of this writing.
