UFC star Payton Talbott responds to rumors about his sexuality & dating Frank Ocean.
Payton Talbott is far from a typical UFC star. In a sport infested with brash and homophobic masculinity, the house music enthusiast and experimental video creator stands out like a hot crop top.
It doesn’t hurt that Talbott is sometimes photographed wearing the fun, flirty garment…
With a sterling 10-1 record, including a recent victory by unanimous decision, Talbott is establishing himself as a force in the ring. At the same time, he pursues creative projects with irreverent flair.
His eccentric identity earned him a recent profile in the New York Times. In it, Talbott talks about his disregard for conforming, as well as rumors about his sexuality and relationship with Frank Ocean.
“I just think in my head, like—why do I have to be manly?,” he asked. “Why does my image and what I wear have anything to do with my fighting? And even if it did–what do you care?”
