I literally just read the first 2 comments on him and I can tell you that you want him MORE than guys here want Borrachinha (The Eraser).
Gay or not, that dude can bang!
I watched it with two casuals (one a woman), and they both noticed it. So did I. The dude standing next to him had his hand square on the ol' bumbum.
Fuck it, cool. Would love to see Walker walk out to "It's Raining Men" and then whip Jones.
Lol I didn't notice until now. Now I notice it. Its a good tactic to do now in this political climate. He may get some sponsors that he so craves. Whether he is fake gay or real gay, it's marketable
Good morning boys.
I sifted through a few pages of threads and also did a brief google search and found no commentary.
Last night I was watching the PPV with my cousin and my old lady.
We noted the following:
- During the immedia pre-fight video-interview for Walker v. Cirkunov, Walker is clearly wearing either lip gloss, or peach-coloured lipstick.
- In the fight, it looked like he was wearing nude (colour) finger nail polish, at least on his left hand.
- He was very physically familiar with a large gentleman in his corner. The man had his arm around Walker with his hand on his a$$, in a way that seemed suggestive (you would need to re-watch right up to the point where they leave the Octagon).
- He seemed very effeminate in his post fight behaviour.
- He has come to the ring in the past doing a stripper-dance, tear-away pants, bow tie and cuffs.
The foregoing would lead me to surmise that Walker is perhaps bisexual or gay (or simply playing a role), but I’ve seen no commentary to that effect. I don’t mind one way or the other, but he behaviour does strike me as deliberate.
As an aside, my cousin said “It would be hilarious if this is a subversive troll-job like Gold Dust back in the day in WWE... you have a bunch of hyper-masculine dudes, acting like tough guys, rolling around half-naked, and one guy decides to throw it all in everyone’s face and be flamboyant af.”
I agree that would be pretty hilarious. Especially if he started playing up a persona on the mic. Ironic, given he is so dangerous. At the very least, he does seem to be making a conscious effort to create a flamboyant spectacle. If so... I think this is the first time we’ve seen this approach in MMA.
At any rate, back to the point, did anyone else make similar observations, or does this seem way off-base?
Either way, fantastic to watch and an absolute killer.
Ka-Boom.
EDITED to include some good insights from @Iroh
The second video would be better if it ran until they leave the Octagon...
Look at how he undulates while the ring-man applies vasaline at 0:23, or how he looks at his opponent salaciously and raises his eyebrows during the satedown at 1:17 in the video below... among other things:

I also think this gimmick (if that’s what it is) could actually serve him very well from a marketing perspective.

He's Brazilian TS, everyone just has sex with everyone there and the men are all extremely flamboyant. Different culture, can't judge.
