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

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 staredown at 1:17 in the video below... among other things:

I see it.

You must have missed the interview where he felt up that Laura Sanko girl. He couldn't keep his eyes off her.

Link?

that is literally the entire point of the post.

man thats such a fuckin homo move!

things that are gay other than quoting movies:
-making eye contact with another man
-enjoying a rainbow
-mowing the lawn without a shirt
-using an arc welder
-getting your hair cut
-having long hair
-watching sweaty men in their underpants wrestle on the floor

Methinks Israel Adesanya is perhaps gay. Not that there’s a problem with that.

Holly shit! Fuckin genius you are!

 

[Pressure Project]

I think it’s a safe bet that JW is insane.

 

[ImmigrantMentality]

Interesting post, he does that gay smile with his mouth wide open too, aka the "soyboy smile"

~350 words of text, and 3 easily and immediately accessible YouTube videos represents significant research in your world?

Wow. Right on, I guess.

I write 25 - 100 page briefs regularly... so perhaps my perspective is skewed.

If you don't bother to read the content, why would you bother commenting?

Not criticizing, just asking. I'm curious. I don't know that I would ever be motivated to do that. Strikes me as counter-intuitive.

"I am motivated to offer an opinion... but not motivated to know what I am opining on."

That's interesting to me.
