I agree. This one of the negative aspects of Japanese popular culture. Downtown is pretty crude in general anyway.
I never heard of Bobby Ologun before. I looked him up and here's what I found:

Let me give you some background information on Bobby Ologun. This is his first real MMA fight. He had an exhibition with Royce Gracie on a popular JPN TV show. Royce was really nice and didn’t try to hurt Bobby. You could tell he was just playing around. However, the host and other JPN celebrity guests were impressed with Bobby and encouraged him to pursue a career in MMA. Prior to this, Bobby was a minor celebrity on JPN variety shows because he is from Nigeria and speaks fluent Japanese. Despite his fluency, he often exaggerates his pronunciation and intonation, making his speech and actions quite comical.

So it seems the bad Japanese is part of his act.
He's been living in Japan since 2001. Here's his official site (in Japanese):
