UFC prides itself on being the straightest, most masculine, straight, strongest, straight, testosterone-driven, straight, clothes-off, abs-flowing sport in America.
Or not.
Maybe nothing is gayer in all of UFC or mixed martial arts — and even sports in general — than the weigh-in. And with UFC 307 around the corner — “straight” to you from Salt Lake City — the straight guys are getting giddy for it.
Get off the sidelines and into the game
Our weekly newsletter is packed with everything from locker room chatter to pressing LGBTQ sports issues.
For those who don’t know, MMA and other combat sports are divided by weight class. Having a 130-pound fighter compete against a 260-pound grappler really isn’t fair. Of course, the lighter fighter can overcome the difference and win in the octagon. No doubt. Though it’s rare.
Yet generally speaking, pitting the two men of massively different masses against one another isn’t “fair.”
Enter the weigh-in.
Shortly ahead of any match, the two fighters are mandated to parade in front of a crowd in their underwear, get on a scale, and qualify for their match.
Totally straight.
Some of the images from UFC weigh-ins seem to be right out of the early moments of a gay porn film.
What gay (or straight) guy wouldn’t watch this…

MMA is ‘gay porn’ for straight guys

These two guys are so ready to get in their underwear and “fight” each other…
Of course, many guys who watch UFC are in fact straight. Yet it is odd how this sport with chiseled male bodies attacking one another has become this cultural phenomenon amongst straight guys.
That Dana White has created an entire industry out of this combative Bel Ami porn for straight guys is fascinating. And for whatever reason, he’s always there watching over the nearly clothe-less guys.
It does seem like right out of a gay porn, with the weigh-in the perfect opening scene. And straight guys like Dana White seem to be loving it.
