Daily Show's John Oliver: MMA Gayest Thing I've Ever Seen
In a recent episode of The Daily Show, British comedian John Oliver points out that TV shows have “never been gayer”. He goes on to argue with Jon Stewart proclaiming MMA is “the gayest thing I’ve ever seen”.
“TV has never been gayer! You’ve got Smash, you’ve got Glee and you’ve got that sport where guys roll around and punch each other in the (expletive). What is not gay about that, Jon? I think that might be the the gayest thing I’ve ever seen. That is ‘Ancient Greek’ gay. I don’t want to argue about this, that’s a fact!”

With the controversy of homosexuality coming up every once in a while in the MMA community, what are your thoughts on Oliver’s position on MMA?
Keep in mind UFC President Dana White wants gay fighters to come out of the closet, Big Nog refuses to train with gay fighters, and TUF contestant Dakota Cochrane’s controversial past.

It’s almost as gay as MMA.(gay=great)

haha apparently not
I think he has seen some of Fitch and Sonnen’s fights…

I’m pretty sure he was being sarcastic. I don’t think that’s his honest opinion….. But still super funny.
+1
This mentions MMA for 15 seconds and they put it up on the webpage? Seriously? This is obviously meant to be funny, and it was! They person who put this up makes it sound like they were seriously bashing the sport. This cite needs better editors/writers/managment…
Haven’t you heard, there is always some truth to a joke
now I hate the homo. great job jack ass
Kind of funny coming from a guy who looks as if his boy friend was patting him on the head all night…
funny shit dont take yourselves to seriously lol
It won’t be so gay after you
say that to the wrong person and you get head kicked # BrazilianTopTEAM
how the heck did you comment on this I thought Brazil was a few years away from getting internet still.
Hey hey now! Brazil has the Internet…and they should be thanking America for that, per Chael Sonnen.
lol and that is coming from a country where they still have electrical powerlines on wooden poles…
Why is this a story? The webmaster DOES realize that The Daily Show is a comedy show that, y’know, makes fun of stuff?
Big Nog refuses to train with gay fighters? Damn, I kinda just lost some respect for him.
I gained some
Some of these comments are obviously written by ignorant fuccs..I don’t like Big Nog anyways..he’s a big idiot…he wouldn’t stand a chance against Overeem…HA!
Are obviously written by ignorant ‘fuccs’? Wow, nice job of contradicting yourself there..
Not for nothing but this does kind of piss me off. MMA is trying its ass.off.to become legit and be welcomed by ignorant people. This just feeds into the reasons why it isn’t. People like this so called.comedian needs to find better topics to fill his time with other than making fun of people that could contort his body in ways he would hate.
The guy who wrote this article must of forgot he was watching “comedy central”
Ny denied MMA, jokes aren’t helping
He obviously knows nothing about grapling.
This dude sounds like a homophobic idiot. Probably the kind of guy that is afraid to tell his friend that his new hair cut looks good.
That’s gayest comment ever. Hey bro nice hair wana **** fight? You are one of the gay things he was talkin about
It was a joke get over it already
Who the hell is John Oliver?
its hardly john olivers ‘position’ on mma. he’s a comedian!
Grow up kids, it’s comedy
Its a joke and he’s got his point it does look kind of gay but that’s combat using another guys joints and Pressure points to destroy them the only people who genuinely think it’s gay either are boxers or people who can’t fight
Fact: the best mma fighter in the world and can beat up any man in the world
Fact: mma fighters get the hottest ***** in the world
Still gay? Then your dumb
Big nog refuses to roll with gay people because he’s a Christian not like that’s a excuse but people who believe in fairy tales like Christianity for some reason are still allowed to have ignorant a violent views but that’s another debate
