US: UFC fighter shows support for gay rights with “Legalize Gay” underpants
UFC fighter Kyle Kingsbury showed his support for gay rights during his weigh-in this past weekend.
On Saturday, Kingsbury dropped his shorts during his televised weigh-in, revealing a pair of pink underpants with the words “Legalize Gay” on the back.
Kingsbury ultimately lost the fight against his opponent, announcing his official retirement from fighting after the match.
This move comes from a fighter within an organisation that has a tumultuous history with gay rights.
In May 2013, a fighter was suspended and fined after he wrote a tweet included the word “fag”.
