UFC president Dana White recently shared thoughts about the future of the former UFC Lightweight champion Frankie Edgar, and the controversy around the inclusion of Dakota Cochrane, gay pornstar, in the upcoming season of The Ultimate Fighter. Once again, White spoke about his personal desire to see Frankie Edgar dropping down in weight to 145lbs, and challenging the reigning Featherweight champion Jose Aldo. As for TUF 15, White declared Dakota Cochrane's sexual orientation has nothing to do with becoming a fighter, and his dream of competing in the UFC.

    One reason: STDs or worse. You can't tell me that guy's profession did not potentially expose the guy to it. Hope he was tested for EVERYTHING under the sun. I guess if he was and he's clean, it's OK?

    Every single fighter is tested in the ufc. And i remember this TUF guy who had sores on his neck and had to go.

    Well the testing in the serious porn industry is also pretty rigorous for stds so its not very likely.

    Yea, I remember that - couple of seasons ago. I guess so long as he's not "moon-lighting" during the show and he tests clean, no problem.

    It may be a problem for the other fighters. I personally would not fight him due to lack of comfort.

    lolllll

    would you fight josh thompson? im pretty sure he's not trying to rape his opponent in the cage, just kick his ass, like everyone else... and if u think this dakota guy is the only pillow biter in the ufc, you're nuts, i bet you 'wouldnt fight' a lot of em. i dont know what he statistic is percentage wise, but we'll assume 10% of the population is gay or at least going both ways, so that's a pretty huge portion of fighters to 'avoid'... lol,

    The reason people are homophobic is because they are not sure of their own sexuality, we often hate things in others we can't accept about ourselves. So rolling around the mat with a gay man might be to much temptation for the closet kind.

    Thats such an old and stupid refute. I am completely comfortable being hetrosexual but i would be naturally wary of someone interested in my sex just as a woman may be wary of a man. Everyone always shoots right for the your a sick person to be concerned. You don't need to be a hero for the gay guy. Wouldn't it be worse if I wanted to fight him because he is gay?

    Wow now I am a homophobe just because I would be uncomfortable. Some girls wouldn't roll with a guy either just because they would be uncomfortable on the offchance there is other motives as a possability. The same reason we have different bathrooms and such.

    Did you see Thompson's last fight? It was more of an attempted rape than a fight.

    Are there really people in this world that are still so ignorant and/or scared of their own sexuality that they want to discriminate based on sexual orientation?

    Well, i can see a lot of hetero sexuals got, f.u.c.k.i.n.g and fighting mixed up.



    Personaly i couldn't care less if he's gay and did porn, as long as he's a top fighter, that's what i want to see !



    Anyone ignorant enough to think he's gonna think about sex during a fight is sexualy confused !

    I think it's ignorant to think it wouldn't be thought about. We all know as men we like to talk and think about women in certain mma positions especially BJJ so what would be different? But it's cool that you feel they are different.lol.
