I was listening to the Radio on kslx talk radio and they were talking about sports and gay sports players that are in the closet.

A caller said if a UFC fighter came out of the closet it would give the UFC even more exposure and any publicity is good publicity and the more the sport grows even it be a death, or an openly gay fighter the better because controversy sells.

do you agree or do you think it will hurt the sport?

The only way it would help out the sport is if this gay fighter was a total badass and just beat the ever loving **** out of everybody. Otherwise he would take a lot of **** everywhere he went.

LMAO! but seriously i dont think it would be in the fighters best interest to be open about his homosexuality. Due to said mentioned other fighters being hesitant to face him for various moral and medical reasons.

i dont necessarily think it would be good or bad for the sport i just feel it would make the fighters career alot more difficult, in terms of moving up the ladder

I thought about how a boxer would feel if they were to lose to a gay boxer.Considering that boxing is a "manly" sport!

I cant see at all how it could help the sport, only hinder it.

I don't think I'd care. I always feel rather ****y around gay men because I'm 100% certain they fancy me and they can't have me.

As for the sport, it wouldn't affect the sport at all, good or bad. It'd ruin the fighters career if he wasn't a stand out fighter.

In all honesty, other than knowing Tito is banging Jenna, I don't know anything about the personal lives of UFC fighters. Nor do I need to...

Emile Griffith was a gay boxing world champion. Some of these comments are ridiculous - the AIDS, the "not wanting a half naked guy..." - if you're not ready to fight in MMA, you'll get your ass kicked whether your opponent is gay, straight, bi, into bestiality, jerks off to cooking shows, whatever...

Still, seems like a good time to post this:

Actually Emile Griffith has been in the news for other stuff too. He killed Benny Paret in the ring. Paret had actually called Griffith a '***got' (in Spanish) at the weigh-in and Griffith had to be restrained. Griffith did suffer from remorse about that fight. Griffith was also beaten badly in 2005, allegedly while leaving a gay bar. Griffith never actually admitted to being gay, but speculation is that he is.

He also suffers from the same condition that Ali suffers from, and requires full time care.

You wouldnt be saying this if a gay guy was in your gaurd.
Or if u were in his gaurd.
If the gay guy had your back You'd feel the pro-cup getting somewhat bigger on ya backside.
If u had him(gay)in your triangle choke it would be good for the both of u..
1st reason is that u would win
2nd he would like the fact that his face is by your balls.
If I were to fight a gay guy I'd have to stand and knock him out lol.

You act like gay people are sexually aroused all the time. If some butch ***** was wrestling you - and she was whooping you - would you be aroused or would you man up and fight the *****?

uhhh...hey u fight a gay guy and find out if he is aroused and i will play a girl and find out if she is aroused. If your gay guy is aroused and if my hot female is aroused then you have a point LOL.
I would like to fight a gay guy and kick the **** out of him for 2 reasons.
1. because i hate gays.
2. to get a win.
find a gay guy, role around with him and see if anything happens man haha.
there might be some positions that gay guys would like in this sport so ****, this aint good for MMA. But if its ok with u then fine, fight all the gay guys u want lol.

Where does this fantastic misconception come about that homosexuals are perpetually horny? I hear this all the time - like the queers are out raping heterosexual men and whatnot in bars in the urinals and out whilie they're bent over pool tables, taking advantage of us straight men in the showers and whatnot...lol

It's called homophobia. Get over it. Not everyone is like you. And guess what, not every gay guy wants to **** you.

Especially during an athletic competition...

Honestly, I wouldn't want to roll with a ***. I've heard something anything from 17-30% are gays in the military, hey thats on them, I just don't want to be in his guard or vice versa.

As far as rather it'd help the sport, I don't think being gay helps anything.
