Really Nick?
That’s the best nickname you could come up with?

I always preferred..
Nick “The Cock” Ring. He was actually one of my favorite fighters on that season of TUF.

Nick "Dennis Rodman's Cock" Ring would be an homage to a sporting great!
Seriously, as a Canuck, I’ll root for him, seems like a nice guy.
Without trying to slander Nick Ring
Is there any mma fighter that’s openly gay?
I’m assuming it’s not that easy to come out of the closet in any macho environment. I guess it could be a good test for the open mindedness of the mma community.
Shad Smith
and nick is very much NOT gay, despite his metrosexual demeanor.

Don't really care whether someone is gay or not
That actually isnt an answer, all he says is that he was flaming it up, so to speak, to make them uncomfortable. I personally could absolutely care less. I found Ring hilarious, but I’m a pop culture junkie, and every single time, without exception, that a celeb uses the “I know who I am” phrase, they are gay. Michael Stipe, Ricky MArtin, they all gave the exact same answers that Ring gave when confronted with those accusations. Not sayin, just sayin.
He, along with everyone in the house and on the other side of the tvs, hated Jamie Yager...
So, he did what he had to to piss him off and mess with him…
He was engaged or married…to a hot girl.
Nick Diaz does not like wrestlers just like Rock doesnt like Paper!
I know kris mccray personally, thats what I am going by.

After last season of the ultimate fighter, I thought it was Koscheck.

I doubt the fans would take something like that well, and it is a shame.

If you have not seen Fukuda/ Sakurai III, do yourself a favor and watch it. You will not be disappointed.
Fukuda is great
I agree, his fights are easy to find. Someone showed by a video of him when his signing was first announced, and I have just been waiting ever since to see him in the octagon.

Nick Ring is great
Glad to see the general attitude toward him is positive. If he really was gay, it would be awesome, but the fact that he was just messing with the hayseeds of the house… is also awesome
I think it was Jamie Ya(e?)ger in particular he was targeting
Ring calling “The Chosyn 1” a massive homophobe.
Nick is a funny guy, but based on his history of knee injury and lackluster performance on TUF, I can't see him beating Fukuda.
