Even today, there is still clearly a stigma around gay fighters the UFC.

Whilst there are many lbians fightg at var different weights on the roster, there is not an openly gay man who do, or has fought the UFC. This is not jt a strange occurrence the UFC eher, we rearched across a lot of fight promotns worldwi such as Cage Warrrs, Bellator, ONE, Junglefight, and var others, yet uld not fd an openly gay all, would seem strange that there are a handful of lbians the 107 woman roster, yet no homosexuals well over 1000 male fighters – approximately a 10 tim larger sample. Part of the reason why there are no open homosexuals is likely due to the ridicule they would receive upon announcement.

Homosexualy is turned to an even stranger topic when the manager of Plo Costa, Walid Ismail quoted “Asanya has homosexual stcts and he should be studied by science”. This short sentence sums up why some fighters want to rema the closet, there is simply too much drama around beg homosexual. Strangely enough a gay assemblyman New York state pared MMA to gay pornography orr to get banned.
