Would a elite fighter be cut simply for being gay?

If an elite fighter such as Brock Lesnar or GSP were to admit being gay would they immediately be blacklisted from the sport?

    No. Thats discrimination.

    I seriously doubt it because it would have ZERO impact on their fighting skills. I don't know for sure, but I also imagine that the fighters are already tested for HIV, so that, too, is not a relevant issue.

    Besides, another answerer already quoted Dana White on the issue.

    No, they would not be cut.

    Here is what Dana White said about it before UFC 98:

    "I honestly think it would have no impact whatsoever, with not only our fighters, but our fan base," White said. "The guys in the UFC, everybody's so cool, there's great sportsmanship, everybody's so respectful. It wouldn't be a big deal to me, and most of the guys I know in this sport, it wouldn't be a big deal to them either."

    That wouldn't matter so much as the imposter I see here.

    The "Sensei Scandal" without the TC badge is fake, report him...!

    edit: I agree, please report the correct imposter. Sensei Scandal is level 6 with 15000 points plus. Repor the level 1

    no, there was a great Muay Thai fighter before, a great champ in Thailand who was gay.

    i cannot find any other sensei scandal, so I'm reporting what i see...

    I think so because its not so much promoters will have a problem but the fighters themselves might object i dont know are there any gay mma fighters???

    I doubt it. There would probably be wise cracks here and there, but thats part of life.

    The person named "Sensei Scanda|" is impersonating me.

    He is a troll. Look good at the name and see how I use an L and he uses a | <--- divider - notice how it goes below the line.

    Please report him but please make sure it's him.
