The UFC has been slowly moving toward an inclusive environment in the past year, with a gay-for-pay porn actor competing on its reality show and President Dana white giving his anti-gay reputation a makeover. This week, however, the UFC has finally marked a bold step forward toward full LGBT-friendliness by signing its first ever openly gay fighter. 

Ultimate Fighting Championship President Dana White has been hounded by accusations of homophobia for years--and not without reason. White famously recorded a video blog back in 2009 targeting reporter Loretta Hunt with both anti-gay slurs and misogynistic vitriol.

He didn't help his case during "speedo-gate" when he had a bit of a freakout when one of his fighters performed in a speedo (a big "no no" in the macho UFC world). 

Still, White believes he's been misrepresented and even went so far as to encourage gay UFC fighters to come out back in Oct. 2011.

He addresses his perceived homophobia in a new interview where he's asked to reveal his biggest regret. We'd love to get your take on his answer.

Mike "the Wolverine" Rio, who will compete against Sean Cody-star Dakota Cochrane on the upcoming reality show The Ultimate Fighter 15, is more concerned about the gay porn actor's fighting abilities than his past career in adult entertainment.

In response to being charged with years of homophobia on part of his fighters (and even himself), Ultimate Fighting Championship President Dana White has called on UFC personalities to come out.

A washed-up UFC fighter, who has spent countless hours in the embrace of muscular, sweaty men, has made headlines today for refusing to train with gay fighters.
