Thumbs up!!! the dudes gayness aint got shit to do with him as a fighter. It shouldn't even have to receive so much attention.... he is gay so what?? big deal. There's gay guys all over the world.
It's kinda fucked up how many people are freaked out about a persons sexuality if they're gay in mixed martial arts or not, and people saying "oh a gay guy is gonna get an erection in there with someone". Speaking for myself, im a gay martial arts fighter and to be honest, I don't care about my opponents looks and if you look good or not, I want to get a win and knock you out and make a living from this. Whoever can get a hard on over a guy trying to knock your head off is plain stupid. People I train with respect me and I respect them all, not once will I or have I made a pass at anyone in there. I just wanna become the best fighter I know I can be.
As odd as it is if you watch weigh ins for some reason a significant amount of fighters come out 'swinging' lmao. Maybe it's high testosterone or something but it's not uncommon. I mean even Conor McGregor got wood at the Mayweather weigh ins from what I remember.
I commend Mr. White for tackling this topic. I don't know much about MMA, but the gay fighter who 'came out' is gonna' help a lot of people. A lot. We gay guys have to fight every day of our lives, and we deserve to be open and honest just like anyone else. I've had to fight guys for years just because they don't like that I'm gay. I may win or lose, but I always fight.
Lol almost 90% of Dakota's wins have been from submissions. His last 2 fights were from rear naked choke. That's the power of gay + wrestling = submissions.
I have a lot of respect for Dana White, UFC, etc. It's awesome that they concentrate more on who is good and worthy of being a figter, and being on TUF, than a person's sexuality, background, etc. that's the way it should be. Also, for the UFC to develop into what it has become, with more shows, etc. and Dana is always there. He has a busy schedule and still shows support and control. I'm a gay fan in NC. it's cool Dakota is on the show, whatever the background.
I've had issues with alot of stuff Dana says like about legends of the sport and fighters. but this video had made my respect go through the roof for him. Every time Dana says something that annoys me i wait 2 days and he says something very admirable. then vice versa. but that just shows how human he is and that he isn't some unrelatable sports mogul. just seems like a cool dude.
Lol I was going to say "well said " .. but then I decided to change it to "Very well said!" And then I hit the button and it .... and what ever ( as if you will ever read this) but if you did read this I would tell him THANKS GOVENORE ! LOL Shane
It should not matter. Here is an example Former welterweight boxing champion Emile Griffith came out as Gay (Homosexual) From John Robert Cassidy in Newsday: Imagine this - a gay man being one of the greatest professional boxers in the history of the sport. You don’t have to imagine it, it’s true. Emile Griffith, a six-time world champion and charter member of the International Boxing Hall of Fame, is a homosexual.
2012. The 21st century and people are still asking about a gay person? Come on. Who cares. 9 minutes of interviewtime are way too much for such an irrelevant theme. There are gay people since mankind exists. But i like Whites answers.
If this kid gets owned in his first fight, you can BET the UFC put him on the show to get publicity. Even if he is a phenom they are absolutely playing up the gay angle for ratings.
so the dude is gay, so the fuck what???? you may be surprised of how many dudes that have been in that house that are gay.. the only difference is this guy is out.. what fucking year is this?? 1890?
In the 1890's homosexuality wasn't such a big issue like today, it's the bible thumpers who believe that Jesus Christ said something against it! Which he never did btw!
I don't see how anyone could have a problem with it, it's not like he's going to try to penetrate anybody. And he's not the first gay fighter, Nick Ring is gay and he was on a couple seasons ago.
Hey guys I have a question. I hope it doesn't sound stupid or anything but I'm really trying to find a place in Las Vegas where i can shoot a real machine gun. Let me know
These guys are talking like he made it in the house . And I believe there was another gay fighter on season 11 named nick ring and he did well on the show noone had a problem with him
I like Diana White he is neither here nor there with it, I dislike how they try to put it all over us, everyday now. But I'll say nothing positive or negative for it.
What a hypocrite. So what about Chandella then ? Her past was no business of anyone's either... Just stop giving interviews, In 3 months my opinion of Dana is 180. Liked him to fucking utter dislike.
Lmao. Hypothetically what if chochrane made it to number one contender while khabib was champ. I could see khabib changing weight classes or relinquishing belt to sit out until cochrane lost. “Dis is haram brather”
Common joe rogan w, People have their opinions however I’m sure anyone can respect a person who’s gonna go into a cage and fight someone else regardless whatever
I have no problem with gay people, but I wouldn't ever want to roll with a gay guy...let alone share a room with him. Why are all sports not mixed sex then? Sure all the males and females could shower together after right? No, for that same reason you cannot have men who are atttracted to other men showering or getting dressed in front of each other. I don't think he should be cut from the UFC, but find a proffession more for his lifestyle....like maybe a hair stylist or something
yeye, I know this is 8 years old, but I still gotta say it: When someone says "I have no problem with gay people, but..." whatever comes after the but, anything that comes after it, is already invalid, you know what that's called? DOUBLE STANDARD.
Damn, people say some really retarded shit sometimes.Like what, just because you like pussy means you should work as a brothelkeeper? This shit being said just ten years ago, jfc.
"Gay MMA fighters" . . Surprise, Gay Guys can throw punches without giving a crap how attractive the other guy is.
That explains Jon Jones lack of punching power.
Lies again? Gain City USD SGD
Thumbs up!!! the dudes gayness aint got shit to do with him as a fighter. It shouldn't even have to receive so much attention.... he is gay so what?? big deal. There's gay guys all over the world.
***** Where do you reside tough guy
***** Burrow? Let's set a little something up?
***** A little something something, no?
***** What are you talking about keyboard warrior? You have yet to answer my question, what burrow?
If toy gay I ain't supporting shit

Ron Brown I always knew you were gay Ron. It's cool. How's your brother doing. I'm not on Facebook.
Damn, I’m looking for a bf.... just saying ;)
As odd as it is if you watch weigh ins for some reason a significant amount of fighters come out 'swinging' lmao. Maybe it's high testosterone or something but it's not uncommon. I mean even Conor McGregor got wood at the Mayweather weigh ins from what I remember.
Side note how's that career coming along? 7 years since this comment, hope things are working out for you.

joey hernandez hi homo
Where did Christ speak about homosexuality in the bible? And I don't mean a third party. I mean where was his words on the issue!
Not one word
Doctor Logic religion isn't a science source, homosexuality is a normal sexuality all explained by science
Keep your religion yo yourself
Shut up
This GAY guy likes MMA ;-)
Dana is such a great interview
Lol almost 90% of Dakota's wins have been from submissions. His last 2 fights were from rear naked choke. That's the power of gay + wrestling = submissions.
hahahaha

thanks dana! You're rad!
Mad Respect to Dana
Well said Dana. Thx.
Holy crap there's more non love on here towards the gun shop than there is towards homosexuals. Maybe the world really is evolving
I've had issues with alot of stuff Dana says like about legends of the sport and fighters. but this video had made my respect go through the roof for him.

"This dude is going to kick your ass" best quote ever
Thank you Dana :) very said !
Lol I was going to say "well said " .. but then I decided to change it to "Very well said!" And then I hit the button and it .... and what ever ( as if you will ever read this) but if you did read this I would tell him THANKS GOVENORE ! LOL Shane
dana "you know" white
Because nothing screams "I'm straight!" as loudly as going to the gun store!
9 years later and you’re still 100% right
Dana "It is what it is" White
GSP gets lubed up right before a fight and hopes for someone to get back mount.
If the guys in the house don't like him living there they can just beat him off... Just beat him off the show.
It should not matter. Here is an example
Former welterweight boxing champion Emile Griffith came out as Gay
(Homosexual) From John Robert Cassidy in Newsday:

women roll with men.. does it mean anything sexual? no.
dana is prob the only one that says goofball seriously lol
"That's fucking illegal"
2012. The 21st century and people are still asking about a gay person? Come on. Who cares.
9 minutes of interviewtime are way too much for such an irrelevant theme. There are gay people since mankind exists. But i like Whites answers.
Dana 'it is what it is' White
It is what it is, it FUCKING is what it is Dana.
awesome.
My only question is....Y fire Chandella for a photoshoot?
i ddin't say that i thought Dakota was gay or not. i think he's straight. if he is bi or gay, that's ok too.
If this kid gets owned in his first fight, you can BET the UFC put him on the show to get publicity. Even if he is a phenom they are absolutely playing up the gay angle for ratings.
@BeothukRuins from what i heard, she didnt disclose her past modeling issues, and she is doing modeling for them. so idk.
Off topic but does anyone know what brand Dana's sweater is?
The 10 year mystery that never got solved 😂
@UltiEd Chandella did porn? Wow, did not know that. Thanks for the info.
It is what it is. You know.
What did he do?
NOOOOO!! NOOOO!! Oh the humanity!!!! That god damn Gun Store advertisment is back :(
If I was someone in the gay community they'd call me danal white
Joe Rogan had said that Dana knew nick he had done gay porm b4 he joined ufc.. then i never herd anything about it again
Who’s gay?
Propably your mom
Can we clarify this one more time? This is what it is? Wow enlightening.
Dana, how about the real talk,
Did you remember a line?
"I want to fight one of your boys"
"I am gonna smash them and make them humble"
?
............Lol! If this is true, I want to be the first to know when Don Frye is single again! Lol!
so the dude is gay, so the fuck what???? you may be surprised of how many dudes that have been in that house that are gay.. the only difference is this guy is out.. what fucking year is this?? 1890?
MusicMitchy how do you know?
In the 1890's homosexuality wasn't such a big issue like today, it's the bible thumpers who believe that Jesus Christ said something against it! Which he never did btw!

Hey guys I have a question. I hope it doesn't sound stupid or anything but I'm really trying to find a place in Las Vegas where i can shoot a real machine gun. Let me know
Oh, I could fucking cry 😢 Go you, Dana! 🌈
He never said he worships anyone, he said it doesn't fucking matter
and it doesn't. That's just how the world works. Go to school.
Who is he even talking about?
It fk is what it is. #respect
@UFCBrockLesnar1 Nick wasn't actually gay, he just acts really fruity all the time.
Who did Goku fight that was gay?
sskys0825 bu.. and Vegeta
These guys are talking like he made it in the house . And I believe there was another gay fighter on season 11 named nick ring and he did well on the show noone had a problem with him
did he say queer?
I like Diana White he is neither here nor there with it, I dislike how they try to put it all over us, everyday now. But I'll say nothing positive or negative for it.
dude it is what it is
isnt Cruz gay
i want to watch hot lesbian fighter vs Gina Carano
@Hickey563 Well still, nobody should have a problem with it.
Cant believe dana is gay
You wish
What? Cockring is gay?

(^ 0 ^)
What a hypocrite. So what about Chandella then ? Her past was no business of anyone's either... Just stop giving interviews, In 3 months my opinion of Dana is 180. Liked him to fucking utter dislike.
seriously. that is weird as hell
@DrMasaaki he took it
@DOYLERULES69X Lmao, I remeber when Dana sed that lol
aren'tthey worry about their strong image?
Gay fighter vs khabib ... Khabib go to run 😀
Lmao. Hypothetically what if chochrane made it to number one contender while khabib was champ. I could see khabib changing weight classes or relinquishing belt to sit out until cochrane lost. “Dis is haram brather”
Common joe rogan w, People have their opinions however I’m sure anyone can respect a person who’s gonna go into a cage and fight someone else regardless whatever
Lol
gay no maybe bi maybe yes?
but don't we have a sport for gay men already? it's call WWE.
And we have a place for homophobes. It's called hell.
@BeothukRuins i liked him then now its like whatever lol
@MyDeArmAsTeR1
i hope that is not true
Gay
@jaganmaster Just ask Phil Davis, that girls got attitude.
@lovedavdubs straight*
Haha! Gayna White!
If mma goes gay I’m done with UFC. As a mixed martial artist it’s about real men and real women. But if they come into our sport good luck 👍
Lol like half the women fighters are lezby
Grappling looks gay
Always been gay
I have no problem with gay people, but I wouldn't ever want to roll with a gay guy...let alone share a room with him. Why are all sports not mixed sex then?

Someone with 'alpha' in his nickname that brags he doesn't want to be to close to gay people, do you realize how dorky that appears?
yeye, I know this is 8 years old, but I still gotta say it: When someone says "I have no problem with gay people, but..." whatever comes after the but, anything that comes after it, is already invalid, you know what that's called? DOUBLE STANDARD.
Damn, people say some really retarded shit sometimes.Like what, just because you like pussy means you should work as a brothelkeeper?
This shit being said just ten years ago, jfc.
@@YashtcmOf course, op is definitely a closeted homosexual and hes very insecure. Pretty sad tbh.
I think that being gay is not right, i mean i grew up a christian and the word of god sais that its not right,
Fuck jesus and god
And You Just blindly believe that?
