UFC's Anthony Njokuani Says Lorenzo Fertitta Felt He Won the Fight w/ Danny Castillo

MMA H.E.A.T.'s Karyn Bryant catches up with UFC lightweight Anthony Njokuani at the LA Fitness Expo and hears what he has to say about his recent loss to Danny Castillo at UFC 141. Anthony talks about the visit he got from UFC CEO Lorenzo Fertitta after the fight, why he thinks Castillo was given the win and whether he thinks Castillo actually thought he lost. Anthony goes on to discuss his training camp and preparation for his upcoming bout with John Makdessi at UFC 145, how home life is going with a young baby and why the aspiring rapper on his flight to LA was so damn annoying.

I think Karyn was annoyed that she couldnt flirt with him.

@imran1001 peolple like you who comment on gay others do worry me...of all the things you could have said you decided to question his sexuality..cummon man

[PhillysFinest27]

I have never heard of a gay MMA fighter.....

[imran1001]

@diffusion90 Did you watch the video? This guy is as gay as they come! The fact that he is sooo over the top with his campness is overpowering the entire interview. If hes gay good for him, I dont care, I was just wondering is all!

[coolman949]

I thought it was just me, but after looking at the comments, other people thought he does come off as gay. I could care less, but I remember Dana White saying that gays in MMA should come out of the closet. It doesn't make sense though because Njokuani has a wife and kid

@h31sman shes been in the biz since 94 what would she need to learn from gonzo, smarten up

[imran1001]

is this guy gay??? 

[clipsryan]

@kreed82 You're assuming again. Stop doing that. There are many cases where a seemingly nice husband, beats his wife but the evidence doesn't point to that. You keep implying that I don't understand where you're coming from. I do. I just think you're wrong in this case and need to actually figure out how to prove things instead of basing your assumptions on what reality you prefer.

[kreed82]

Seems like u are just arguing for the sake of it now.You keep mentionin "evidence" but his wife/kid isnt really an indicator of anything becuz as we know there are cases where individuals who are still in the closet, live double lives.You say its based on nothin but i'm not the only 1 that sees this so there must be something to it.Where do I mention race? if you couldnt understand the significance of why I mentioned his ethnicity/religion then there is a good chance u've been pretty sheltered.

[clipsryan]

@kreed82 Thanks, I really wanted to know that you were rolling your eyes. It's foolish because once again, there's alittle thing called evidence of which points towards him being straight. You're assuming so much based on nothing. The fuck is camp? Just say feminine though I don't see it. You bring up race and religion for some irrelevant reason yet it alot of blacks guys can't act not-ghetto without someone thinking they're gay. It's so sad. You have no clue what you're talking about.

[kreed82]

@clipsryan How is it foolish when you just surmised that such a thing as a "down low bros" does exist? :rolleyes:

Njokuani is a nigerian american from a traditional household.Its not uncommon for ppl of that ilk to either be super religious or feel its their duty to get married & bring a life/lives into the world as God intended. He might very well be straight or he might be bi/gay we will never truly know.But to act like his demeanour in all these vids isnt "camp" is just dumb
