I see where you're coming from, but to say that it's "in NO WAY" racist is just untrue. Just because one actor decided that he would play a part that can be construed as racist, doesn't make the role automatically unracist. That's like saying that it's ok to objectify women because the women agree to play part that objectify them.
At this point we're
by saying that Dana is being unprofessional. Either remember the fighter's name, or refer to him as "Fedor's last opponent." Just imagine the uproar if Dana had forgotten Chieck Kongo's name, and instead of calling him "Crocop's last opponent" he had called him Rerun.
