I actually enjoy MMA and the show Ultimate Fighter, it provides a nice hold over until football season starts again. Its definitely fast paced and violent, much like football, and provides some decent amount of eye candy. I had missed it recently due to work so when Outsports did a write up on a possible gay fighter, I was intrigued. I saw a few clips and was able to catch most of the episodes on Spike due to a marathon, they are almost as bad as Bravo with that rerun shit.
So here is Nick Ring, and he is actually fun to watch. He is a great fighter, smart and not a jackass like some of the guys on the show. Do I think he is gay, and that is a tough question. He does have a way of speaking where he stresses his S's but that doesn't automatically make him gay. He does play up flamboyant gestures and speaking, and he pretty much throws it back at guys who make allusions about it.
So is he gay or just playing gay? Really have no idea. Some of readers over at Outsports voice some unhappiness about the idea of him playing gay, as a type of mockery of the community. I don't see him being malevolent nor do I see him mocking anyone. The guys in the house are the ones trying to degrade him by calling him gay and he just throws it back like he doesn't give a damn. If he is gay, then it would be awesome and he would be a great role model for people. If he isn't, then more gay guys should watch him and see how he stands up for himself.
I would tell people to watch and see for themselves, he does do a great "Oh no you didn't" head bob and finger wave when his fight is called.
And if you don't like how he acts well, "Suck it up, Buttercup"
