UFC Fighter Poses For The Gay Times

Two-fight UFC veteran Marc Diakiese, who will be fighting at UFC Fight Night 107, recently appeared in a photo shoot for the Gay Times.

The Gay Times is a magazine that is primarily ready by the LGTBQ community, and the issue is out now at newsstands everywhere.

Both the Gay Times and Candid Publicity put the word out on Twitter about the UFC fighter's involvement with the publication.

Diakiese, in his two previous fights with the UFC, defeated the duo of Lukasz Sajewski and Frankie Perez.

The Congo born fighter also took to Instagram to discuss his appearance in the magazine.

 

As people, we are all one. There’s a lot of people who are single-minded. We’re all the same and as long as I get on with you and you get on with me, I’m fine. There’s no difference. We’re in a new era in
2017. You can do and be whatever you want to be.
We are all people, we are
all the same, and so I’m pleased to be here and be featured in the @gaytimesmag
