An MMA veteran found himself at the center of an uncomfortable interview after insisting he is not gay, despite openly admitting he gets paid to be intimate with men.
YouTube commentary duo Aba and Preach reacted to the clip, and it left both hosts struggling to contain their laughter while trying to make sense of the his logic.
The athlete made his position clear from the start. “I’m not gay, but I’m being paid to do gay stuff,” he stated.
Aba and Preach drew a comparison to illustrate the athlete’s logic. “Somebody is getting paid to assassinate someone, like I’m not a m*rderer. I’ll do it for money, but in my free time I won’t do it, so I’m not a m*rderer. That’s how it works,” Aba said.
The analogy landed, though the hosts noted that while labeling yourself a m*rderer may be accurate, being gay carries no moral weight worth debating over.
What made the situation more puzzling was the athlete’s reaction to being called gay. Rather than brushing it off, he became visibly agitated and threatened to back out of the interview entirely.
“Shut your mouth. I’ve had enough now. I didn’t even have to come here,” he said before demanding the footage not be released.
One of the hosts summed it up plainly. Aba stated, “Being called gay should not make you so upset you want to brawl somebody and vehemently deny.”
Both hosts made clear they were less bothered by what the athlete does for money and more troubled by the hostility toward the label itself. Host Preach stated, “Being gay is not a bad thing. Be real with yourself. You’re doing gay stuff for pay and then you don’t like gay people. The repressive stuff, that’s what makes you weird.”
The athlete never came around to accepting the label, leaving the interview in a tense standoff that the hosts found far more telling than anything he actually said.
